RIP Demis Roussos - Big Ears - 26-01-2015
Greek singer Demis Roussos has died, aged 68. He was lead singer with Aphrodite's Child, which also included Vangelis. Their album 666 is a progressive rock classic and contains the standout track, The Three Horsemen. In the mid-seventies, Roussos became an easy listening crooner with hits such as Forever and Ever.

Not my cuppa but he did sell 60 Million records in a 50-year career. Here's the NYTimes obit: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/01/30/arts/music/demis-roussos-dies-at-68-greek-singer-was-internationally-known.html

The Four Horsemen by Aphrodite's Child, which I incorrectly called the Three Horsemen. :bolt:

ADD + 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UY5FLqDUQRE << Are you sure he didn't share DNA or something with the BeeGees?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92QYpH5pqn0 << Greek soul--Percy Sledge would approve...and I'm catching more than a little bit of Rod Stewart in this....
BONUS: that full album (Reflection, 1984, the last album he did with Vangelis)--I quite like him as a blue-eyed (OK, brown-eyed) soul singer. Quite effective. The great mystery album; can't find it anywhere.: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OlGQtg3zBzc&x-yt-ts=1422579428&x-yt-cl=85114404#t=15 << This is all strangely affecting
