Now hold on a minute. I was not a big fan of Demis Roussos\u2019 solo career. That wasn\u2019t my kind of music. Ever. But he was<\/strong> a bona fide mega-star when I was growing up, and a lot of people bought his records. However, I recently became aware of a late-60s prog-rock outfit called Aphrodite\u2019s Child, who were a bit before my time, and I was surprised to hear – at least, I thought I\u2019d heard, then went home and looked it up – that their line-up included Roussos.\"Demis<\/p>\n

So with that, it is sad to hear that Demis died yesterday<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I was also surprised to discover that Aphrodite\u2019s Child included Vangelis (of Chariots of Fire fame). He said on hearing of Roussos\u2019 death:<\/p>\n

As for me, I keep those special memories that we share together those early days and I wish you to be happy wherever you are.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Aphrodite\u2019s Child are worth looking up, as this video shows (remember: it\u2019s from the late-60s\/early-70s, so make allowances for choice of clothing and general hirsuteness). <\/p>\n
