Double 180g LP Album Features Two Original Albums Plus Bonus Tracks!
Includes "The White Rose Of Athens" (German And English Language Versions)!
Nana Mouskouri is the biggest-selling female artist of all time. Her fluency in multiple languages -- Greek, French, English, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese -- enabled her to reach audiences all over Europe, the Americas, and even Asia. Mouskouri began singing jazz in nightclubs, concentrating especially on Ella Fitzgerald repertory. In 1958, she met the emerging songwriter Manos Hadjidakis, who would become her mentor in the field of popular music. She performed his "Kapou Iparchi Agapi Mou" at a Greek Song Festival, it won first prize, and Mouskouri's high-profile performance began to make a name for her. In 1961, Mouskouri sang on the soundtrack of a German documentary about Greece, which resulted in the German-language single "Weisse Rosen aus Athen" ("The White Rose of Athens"). Adapted from a folk melody by Hadjidakis, it was an enormous hit, selling over a million copies in Germany; later translated into several different languages, it went on to become one of her signature tunes. In 1962, she met producer Quincy Jones, who flew her to New York to record an album of American standards titled "The Girl From Greece Sings". So on this Double vinyl you will find the two albums with a few extra bonus tracks including "The White Rose of Athens" in German and English language versions.
