Roussos began his carreer at the age of 17 when he joined the band The Idols. There he met Vangelis and formed Aphrodite's Child which recorded three albums and achieved major success in Europe. He then started his solo career where he topped UK charts in 1976 with his song "Forever and Ever"

Very distinctive voice. He transformed Socrates from a traditional blues rock to a prog rock band in Phos.

RIP.

Very distinctive voice

Indeed, a friend of mine made me listen to "Forever and Ever", an epic and sentimental track.

I wish to see Vangelis live. If I am lucky he will live longer, but he does a concert once in a blue moon.
