Nana Mouskouri

I was looking through my box of cassette tapes this afternoon to try and find something different to listen to and came across "The Magic Of Nana Mouskouri" from 1988. According to the sticker it was bought from Woolworths for £6.99.

I haven't heard Nana for over 10 years (the wife used to have one of her LPs but it got damaged a long time ago) and had forgotten what a fantastic voice she has.

I don't think she was ever as popular as she should have been in the UK but that is the way with a lot of singers I suppose.

Is anybody else a fan of hers?

She has a lovely voice, clear diction and makes it seem so effortless.

According to the IMDB she did indeed have her own show from 1971-1976, perhaps that is what you saw?

I love her music too ..... it's hard to believe that she will be 80 this year.

Yes Jim matey I love her voice too, but I'm more a fan of her 'classical' period music like this:

That is very true. I actually read a while ago that she only has one functioning vocal chord which makes it even more amazing.

Re: Nana Mouskouri

I used to love this woman's voice, I saw her live three years running in Leicester, and got her autograph on a record sleeve each time. I loved the way she would tell the story of her songs before singing them in Greek. Her voice was so amazing that it did not matter that you could not understand the meaning of the words as they sounded amazing. I always said she used her voice like a musical instrument.
