A Greek band of the late '60s and early '70s, Aphrodite's Child scored only one European hit, "Rain and Tears." Though it was a big one, the group
became little more than a trivia answer after keyboardist Vangelis Papathanassiou dropped his surname and hit number one with the theme to
Chariots of Fire in 1981. Aphrodite's Child also included drummer Lucas Sideras and vocalist Demis Roussos, who enjoyed some solo success
himself as a pop vocalist. The band formed in Greece in the mid-'60s, and thetitle trackfrom the second album was a hit throughout Europe. The
1971 album 666 was generally agreed to be the best, but it proved to be the last, though the single "Break" was also a hit in Europe.
