Early years

Nana Mouskouri was born on 13 October 1934 in Chania, Crete, where her father, Constantinos, worked as a film projectionist in a local cinema; her mother, Aliki, worked in the same cinema as an usher.WEB,www.dailytelegraph.com.au/entertainment/arts/how-a-little-plump-girl-became-the-legend-that-is-greek-singer-nana-mouskouri/news-story/8a3f7ea416b44269a2d407db27e57847, How a little plump girl became the legend that is Greek singer Nana Mouskouri, 12 October 2014, Marea, Donnelly, Daily Telegraph (Sydney), Daily Telegraph, 4 January 2023, WEB,www.vimaonline.gr/20/article/48986/nana-moushouri-o-dimos-varis-voulas-vouliagmenis-tima-tin-pagosmiou-fimis-ermineutria-, Νάνα Μούσχουρη: Ο Δήμος Βάρης Βούλας Βουλιαγμένης τιμά την παγκοσμίου φήμης ερμηνεύτρια, el, 25 October 2022, Vima Online, 4 January 2023, WEB,www.letelegramme.fr/cotes-darmor/saint-brieuc/la-meteo-de-ce-jeudi-a-saint-brieuc-13-10-2022-13198189.php, La météo de ce jeudi à Saint-Brieuc, 13 October 2022, 4 January 2023, Le Télégramme, fr, When Mouskouri was three, her family moved to Athens.Mouskouri’s family sent her and her older sister Eugenía (Jenny) to the Athens Conservatoire. Although Mouskouri had displayed exceptional musical talent from age six, Jenny initially appeared to be the more gifted sibling. Financially unable to support both girls’ studies, the parents asked their tutor which one should continue. The sister conceded that Jenny had the better voice, but Nana was the one with the true inner need to sing. Mouskouri has said that a medical examination revealed she has only one functioning vocal cordNEWS,www.theguardian.com/world/2010/mar/06/nana-mouskouri-greece-forgo-pension, There is a sense of revolt. I feel it too, Edemariam, Aida, 5 March 2010, The Guardian, 11 March 2017, and this could well account for her remarkable singing voice (in her younger years ranging from a husky, dark alto, which she later dropped, to a ringing coloratura mezzo), as opposed to her breathy, raspy speaking voice.WEB,www.nanamouskouri.info/pdfs/Nz_Articles/stuff1.pdf,www.nanamouskouri.info/pdfs/Nz_Articles/stuff1.pdf," title="web.archive.org/web/20060820033739www.nanamouskouri.info/pdfs/Nz_Articles/stuff1.pdf,">web.archive.org/web/20060820033739www.nanamouskouri.info/pdfs/Nz_Articles/stuff1.pdf, 2006-08-20, Jul 31, 2005, Nana Mouskouri bows out in style, nanamouskouri.info, Mouskouri’s early childhood was marked by the German Nazi occupation of Greece. Her father became part of the anti-Nazi resistance movement in Athens. Mouskouri began singing lessons at age 12. As a child, she listened to radio broadcasts of singers including Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Judy Garland, Charles Trenet, Billie Holiday, and Édith Piaf.In 1950, she was accepted at the Conservatoire. She studied classical music with an emphasis on singing opera. After eight years at the Conservatoire, Mouskouri was encouraged by her friends to experiment with jazz music. She began singing with her friends’ jazz group at night. However, when Mouskouri’s Conservatory professor found out about Mouskouri’s involvement with a genre of music that was not in keeping with her classical studies, he prevented her from sitting for her end-of-year exams.NEWS, Davis, Barry, Nana Mouskouri – forever young at 84,www.jpost.com/israel-news/culture/nana-mouskouri-forever-young-at-84-570701, 10 April 2021, The Jerusalem Post, 30 October 2018, During an episode of Joanna Lumley’s Greek Odyssey, shown on the UK ITV channel in the autumn of 2011, Mouskouri told the actress Joanna Lumley how she had been scheduled to sing at the amphitheatre at Epidauros with other students of the Conservatoire, when upon arrival at the amphitheatre word came through from the Conservatoire in Athens that she had just been barred from participating in the performance there owing to her involvement in light music. Mouskouri subsequently left the Conservatoire and began performing at the Tzaki club in Athens.She began singing jazz in nightclubs with a bias towards Ella Fitzgerald’s repertoire. In 1957, she recorded her first song, “Fascination”, in both Greek and English for Odeon/EMI Greece. By 1958 while still performing at the Tzaki, she met Greek composer Manos Hadjidakis. Hadjidakis was impressed by Nana’s voice and offered to write songs for her. In 1959 Mouskouri performed Hadjidakis’ “Κάπου υπάρχει η αγάπη μου” (Kápou ipárchi i agápi mou, “Somewhere my love exists”; co-written with poet Nikos Gatsos) at the inaugural Greek Song Festival. The song won first prize, and Mouskouri began to be noticed.At the 1960 Greek Song Festival, she performed two more Hadjidakis compositions, “Τιμωρία” (Timōría, “Punishment“) and “Κυπαρισσάκι” (Kyparissáki, “Little cypress“). Both these songs tied for first prize. Mouskouri performed Kostas Yannidis’ composition, “Ξύπνα αγάπη μου” (Xýpna agápi mou, “Wake up, my love“), at the Mediterranean Song Festival, held in Barcelona that year. The song won first prize, and she went on to sign a recording contract with Paris-based Philips-Fontana.In 1961, Mouskouri performed the soundtrack of a German documentary about Greece. This resulted in the German-language single Weiße Rosen aus Athen (“White Roses from Athens“). The song was originally adapted by Hadjidakis from a folk melody. It became a success, selling over a million copies in Germany. The song was later translated into several languages and it went on to become one of Mouskouri’s signature tunes.File:Grieks Franse zangeres Nana Mouskouri met echtgenoot George Petsilas op Schiphol, Bestanddeelnr 922-4743.jpg|thumb|upright=1.2|Nana Mouskouri with her first husband Georges Petsilas in the NetherlandsNetherlands

They eventually married on January 13, 2003, and live primarily in Switzerland.

Life outside Greece

In 1960, Mouskouri moved to Paris.NEWS,www.laliberte.ch/news/dossiers/l-invite-du-lundi/nana-mouskouri-j-etais-simple-et-pas-pretentieuse-269481#.Vbz4ZNwo74Z, Nana Mouskouri: ‘J’étais simple et pas prétentieuse’, La Liberté, Maria Malagardis, 2015-01-05, 2015-08-01, {{Dead link|date=April 2020 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} She performed Luxembourg’s entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1963, “À force de prier”. Although the song achieved only eighth place in the contest, it achieved commercial success, and helped win her the prestigious Grand Prix du Disque in France. Mouskouri soon attracted the attention of French composer Michel Legrand, who composed two songs which became major French hits for her: “Les Parapluies de Cherbourg” (1964) and an arrangement of Katherine K. Davis’s “Carol of the Drum”, “L’Enfant au Tambour” (1965).In 1962, she met Quincy Jones, who persuaded her to travel to New York City to record an album of American jazz titled The Girl from Greece Sings. Following that she scored another hit in the United Kingdom with the song “My Colouring Book” (later included in her 1973 album Songs from her TV series). In 1965, she recorded her second English-language album to be released in the United States, entitled Nana Sings. American singer Harry Belafonte heard and liked the album. Belafonte brought Mouskouri on tour with him through 1966. They teamed up for a duo album entitled An Evening With Belafonte/Mouskouri. During this tour, Belafonte suggested that Mouskouri remove her signature black-rimmed glasses when on stage. She was so unhappy with the request that she wanted to quit the show after only two days. Finally, Belafonte relented and respected her wish to perform while wearing glasses.“Going out on a song: Nana Mouskouri sets off on farewell tour after 40-year career”, Jonathan Brown, The Independent on Sunday, 26 October 2007.On September 15, 1965, Mouskouri appeared for the first time on American television with Harry Belafonte on the Danny Kaye Show. While on the show Mouskouri performed “Telalima” followed by “Σήκω χόρεψε κουκλί μου” (Siko horepse koukli mou) accompanied by Harry Belafonte and Danny Kaye. Mouskouri’s 1967 French album Le Jour où la colombe raised her to super-stardom in France. This album featured many of her French songs, “Au cÅ“ur de septembre”, “Adieu Angélina”, “Robe bleue, robe blanche” and the French pop classic “Le Temps des cerises”. Mouskouri made her first appearance at Paris’ legendary Olympia concert theatre the same year, singing French pop, Greek folk, and Hadjidakis numbers.These successes across Europe and elsewhere impressed Yvonne Littlewood, the BBC producer who had first met Mouskouri at the 1963 Eurovision Song Contest in London. Following several successful guest appearances on British TV after her Eurovision performance, the BBC invited Mouskouri and her backing group, The Athenians, to start hosting a TV series called Presenting Nana Mouskouri from 1968 onwards. A typical episode of her series contained contemporary British, American and French pop and folk music, popular classical pieces, and the Greek songs which had originally made her famous. The shows also featured European and world music stars of the time as guests, making it one of the first BBC TV series to do so regularly. Despite the fact that stars from mainland Europe singing in languages other than English have tended to find it difficult to break into the British market, the series proved very popular with viewers of the new BBC-2 channel, and it ran until 1976. As well as performing songs known to British viewers, Mouskouri welcomed the television audience, chatted to her guest stars and gave spoken introductions to her French and Greek songs in fluent English. These introductions, along with a modest stage presence and her bespectacled appearance, made her a very distinctive star, as Yvonne Littlewood later explained: (File:Nana Mouskouri toont haar platen, Bestanddeelnr 924-5530.jpg|thumb|upright=1.2|Nana Mouskouri receiving a gold and a platinum disc for record sales in Netherlands (1971))Mouskouri’s international appeal encouraged the BBC to sell her programmes to television stations across the world, a fact which she acknowledged in a BBC interview in 2014: Mouskouri also hosted her own shows for French and West German broadcasters during this period. At a time when TV programmes could attract huge audiences, her popularity as a multilingual television personality turned her into a truly international star. Although music series such as hers started to become less common on British TV as the 1970s wore on, the BBC continued to engage Mouskouri regularly for one-off television specials and guest appearances on other programmes until the mid-1980s, by which time she had been a regular contributor to British TV for more than 20 years. In 1969, Mouskouri released her first British LP, Over and over, which reached number 10 and spent a total of 102 weeks in the UK album charts.WEB,tsort.info/music/ke7te3.htm, Album artist 344 - Nana Mouskouri, Tsort.info, 2007-10-08, 2012-11-12, This began a series of albums for the UK market which, boosted by her TV appearances, sold extremely well during the early 1970s, including The exquisite Nana Mouskouri (1969), Turn on the sun (1970), A place in my heart (1971) and Presenting Nana Mouskouri - Songs from her TV series (1973), while concerts from two of her British tours were also recorded and released as LPs: British Concert (1972) and Live at the Albert Hall (1974).During the 1970s, Mouskouri - always a prolific recording artist - recorded several hit records in German, such as Sieben schwarze Rosen (1975) and Lieder, die die Liebe schreibt (1978), and she continued to release a series of top-selling records in France, including Comme un soleil (1971), Une voix qui vient du cÅ“ur (1972), Vieilles chansons de France (1973), and Quand tu chantes (1976). Meanwhile, Passport, a compilation including her most popular songs in English, reached number 3 in the UK album charts in 1976 and won for her a gold disc.In August 1974, while in Australia, Mouskouri was presented with a plaque representing the sale of twenty Gold Records.MAGAZINE,worldradiohistory.com/Archive-All-Music/Cash-Box/70s/1974/CB-1974-08-10.pdf, Cash Box Magazine, Cash Box magazine, Cash Box, World Radio History, 54, 10 August 1974, 15 November 2021, As her fame began spreading outside her fan base in Europe, the United States, and the Commonwealth, Mouskouri was asked to record songs for the Japanese and Taiwanese markets. In 1976, a renowned Taiwanese author, Echo, heard her music and introduced it to one of her female radio DJ friends. Mouskouri’s records then became popular in Taiwan, especially among high school and college students, with one of her British albums, Nana’s book of songs (1974) becoming particularly popular.

Middle years

In 1979, Mouskouri released another English-language album named Roses and Sunshine. This album consisted largely of folk and country material, and included work from sources including Neil Young, Dolly Parton, Bob Dylan and John Denver. It was well received in Canada, and one of the album’s tracks, “Even Now” (not the same song as the 1978 Barry Manilow hit), became a staple on beautiful music radio stations in the United States. She scored a worldwide hit in 1981 with “Je chante avec toi Liberté”, which was translated into several languages after its success in France. The momentum from this album also helped boost her following German album, Meine Lieder sind mein Leben. In 1984, Mouskouri returned to Greece and performed to a large audience at the Odeon of Herodes Atticus; her first performance in her homeland since 1962.In 1985, Mouskouri recorded “Only Love”, the theme song to the American TV series Mistral’s Daughter â€“ based upon the novel by Judith Krantz â€“ which reached number 2 in the UK charts. The song was also a hit in its other versions: L’Amour en Héritage (French), Come un’eredità (Italian), La dicha del amor (Spanish), and Aber die Liebe bleibt (German). The German version was also recorded with an alternate set of lyrics under the title Der wilde Wein; it was withdrawn in favour of Aber die Liebe bleibt.That same year, Mouskouri made a play for the Spanish-language market with the hit single Con Toda el Alma. The song was a major success in Spain, Argentina and Chile.She released five albums in different languages in 1987, and the following year returned to her classical conservatory roots with the double LP The Classical Nana (a.k.a. Nana Classique), which featured adaptations of classical songs and excerpts from opera. By the end of 1987, she had performed a series of concerts in Asia, including South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia and Thailand.

Later years

Mouskouri’s 1991 English album, Only Love: The Best of Nana Mouskouri, became her best-selling release in the United States. She spent much of the 1990s touring the globe. Among her early 1990s albums were spiritual music, Gospel (1990), the Spanish-language Nuestras Canciones, the multilingual, Mediterranean-themed Côté Sud, Côté Coeur (1992), Dix Mille Ans Encore, Falling in Love Again: Great Songs From the Movies. Falling in Love featured two duets with Harry Belafonte.In 1993, Mouskouri recorded the album Hollywood. Produced by Michel Legrand it was a collection of famous songs from films, and served not only as a tribute to the world of cinema, but also as a personal reference to childhood memories of sitting with her father in his projection room in Crete.WEB,www.discogs.com/Nana-Mouskouri-Hollywood-Great-Songs-From-The-Movies/release/7425678, Nana Mouskouri – Hollywood (Great Songs From The Movies), Discogs.com, 1993, June 7, 2016, She recorded several more albums in 1996 and 1997, including the Spanish Nana Latina (which featured duets with Julio Iglesias and Mercedes Sosa), the English-language Return to Love, and the French pop classics, Hommages. In 1997, she staged a high-profile Concert for Peace at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York. This concert was later released as an album, and aired as a TV special on PBS in the United States.On 30 May 2013, Mouskouri was awarded an honorary degree by McGill University, Canada.NEWS, McGill University, Mouskouri and Barré-Sinoussi among McGill 2013 honorary degree recipients,www.mcgill.ca/newsroom/channels/news/mouskouri-and-barr%C3%A9-sinoussi-%E2%80%A8among-mcgill-2013-honorary-degree-recipients-225390, 22 November 2013, Press Release, 13 March 2013,www.mcgill.ca/newsroom/channels/news/mouskouri-and-barr%C3%A9-sinoussi-%E2%80%A8among-mcgill-2013-honorary-degree-recipients-225390," title="web.archive.org/web/20140201163724www.mcgill.ca/newsroom/channels/news/mouskouri-and-barr%C3%A9-sinoussi-%E2%80%A8among-mcgill-2013-honorary-degree-recipients-225390,">web.archive.org/web/20140201163724www.mcgill.ca/newsroom/channels/news/mouskouri-and-barr%C3%A9-sinoussi-%E2%80%A8among-mcgill-2013-honorary-degree-recipients-225390, 1 February 2014, dead, dmy-all,

She went on to give a series of fund-raising concerts in Sweden and Belgium.She was a Member of the European Parliament for Greece through the centre-right New Democracy party from 1994 until 1999, when she resigned from her position as an MEP. Several reasons have been given for the resignation, one being her pacifism, and another being that she felt ill-equipped for the day-to-day work of a politician.WEB, European Parliament: Your MEPs: Nana MOUSKOURI, European Parliament Correspondence with Citizens Unit,www.europarl.europa.eu/members/archive/alphaOrder/view.do?id=2183, 2008-02-19,

(File:Nana 0001.jpg|thumb|Nana Mouskouri, waiting for an interview in 2006)Mouskouri lives in Switzerland with Chapelle, and, until her final performance in 2008, performed hundreds of concerts every year throughout her career. In 2004, her French record company released a 34-CD box set of more than 600 of Mouskouri’s mostly French songs. In 2006, she made a guest appearance at that year’s Eurovision Song Contest which was held, for the first time ever, in her native Greece.File:Athen Odeon Herodes Atticus BW 2017-10-09 13-12-44.jpg|right|thumb|The ancient Herodes Atticus Theatre, in Athens, GreeceGreeceIn the same year, she announced her plans to retire. From 2005 until 2008, she conducted a farewell concert tour of Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Asia, South America, the United States, and Canada. On July 23 and 24, 2008, Mouskouri gave her two final ‘Farewell Concert’ performances at the ancient Herodes Atticus Theatre, in Athens, Greece, before a packed stadium, including Greece’s Prime Minister and Athens mayor, plus the mayors of Berlin, Paris and Luxembourg, along with fans from around the world and thousands of her Athenian admirers.In 2010, in response to the financial crisis in Greece,The EU economic situation and Greece â€“ ECFIN â€“ European Commission, “the [European] Council decided in April 2009 that Greece was in excessive deficit” Mouskouri announced that she would forgo her pension to contribute to the country’s recovery. She commented: “Everywhere I see stories about my country going bankrupt. And people are aggressive about it. It’s frightening. And it’s painful for me. Nobody wants their country to be treated badly. It’s frustrating and very sad.“In late 2011, Mouskouri released two newly recorded CDs, the first featuring songs of the Greek Islands, recorded with other Greek singers, and the second featuring duets with French contemporaries. In late November 2011, Mouskouri sang again at a single concert, with guests, in Berlin, commemorating the 50th anniversary of her hit single “The White Rose of Athens”.
