5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant pop singer of the sixties and seventies, September 14, 2004

This review is from: Singles (Audio CD)

Born on the Greek island of Corfu as Vassiliki Papathanassiou, Vicky spent some time there and in Athens before her family moved to Germany when she was still a small child. As a teenager, Vicky began a long run of success in her adopted country, Messer Gabel Schere Licht becoming the first of many top thirty hits in the German charts between 1965 and 1977. After that, there were three lesser hits before one final top thirty hit in 1982 (Verlorenes Paradies, the only German single not included here). Vicky was popular in several other European countries, particularly Belgium and the Netherlands, but she was always more popular in Germany than anywhere else.

Most of Vicky's German hits are original songs including her only number one (Theo wir fahr'n nach Lodz), but she also had notable hits with covers of L'amour est bleu (Love is blue), Wo ist er (My sweet lord) and Auf wiedersehn ihrcfreunde mein (Amazing grace). Although it didn't chart, I must also mention Vicky's duet with Demis Roussos (Je t'aime mon amour), which is included.

Of course, her most successful song outside Germany was her 1972 Eurovision winner, Apres toi, which topped the charts in Belgium and the Netherlands and did well in several other countries. Curiously, it peaked at eleven in Germany. Translated into English as Come what may, it made number two in the UK charts but that version is not included here, nor are her other two UK hits, though there are two English-language songs here (Bye bye my love, Love's alive).

Vicky is a fine singer who sings fluently in several languages and this is an excellent compilation of her finest music.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply The Best!, April 10, 2002

The Singles... Vicki Leandros is one of those few artists who has graced us with her golden voice and warm persona for more than three decades. With the help of talented songwriter (her father) and a team of wonderful musicians, Vicki brought to life some of the loveliest songs in German, French & Greek . . . Her own interpretations of "L'amour est bleu" & "Ich Bin" are splendid.
Ofcourse, "Apres Toi" had to be included...
There are great memories within these songs...

Recommended.

On this CD except her well-known huge hits from the seventies but also all her singles in Germany as well as in Holland (there are even 2 songs in Dutch)
Many of the tracks you didn't found on CD before.

Vicky is the only artist in the Dutch TOP 40 who had hits in 4(!) different languages: French - German - English and Dutch
