Demis Roussos is dead!

And so another bit of my childhood bites the dust - cheesy Greeks were big on the telly in the 70s - well two of them were, Nana Mouskouri being the other ever present.

Here's his hit, wearing a fine pair of curtains.

This will separate the auld lads from the young wans.

My dad had the "best" of Demis Roussos on vinyl.

Forever and ever, My friend the wind; all shi*e classics.

You shouldn't call them benders.

Can't say I'm a fan of his solo work but Aphrodite's Child had some decent tracks.

mad muffin · 26-01-2015 03:23PM

I thought he died in 2007?

I remember him in the three tenors.

Well known to anybody who was a kid in the 70s as a staple pillar of parental radiogram torture along with Dr Hook, Elvis and Supertramp.

diomed · 26-01-2015 03:50PM

RIP big man.

Duck Soup · 26-01-2015 03:53PM

I thought he'd be around forever and ever.

When you're in love with a beautiful woman, you know it's hard.

KC have always been given a free pass in this regard. Play 'em Larks' Tongues In Aspic at 11

Just had to tell my mother there now, many a day I've had to listen to his wailing on the kitchen CD player.

Ah now, you'd want to put 'Red' on before 'Larks Tongues' if you're looking to impress.

Nothing better than telling people their heroes are dead.

I remember texting "James Brown is dead, merry Christmas" to one of his biggest fans.
