Nana Mouskouri - Danny Boy,Youtube
From: PKLaf
The most beautiful rendition ever. I hope the Irish will agree.
"Danny Boy" is a song whose lyrics are set to the Irish tune Londonderry Air. The lyrics were originally written for a different tune in 1910 by Frederick Weatherly, an English lawyer, and were modified to fit Londonderry Air in 1913 when Weatherly was sent a copy of the tune by his sister.
The first recording was made by Ernestine Schumann-Heink in 1915. Weatherly gave the song to Elsie Griffin, who made it one of the most popular in the new century. Weatherly later suggested in 1928 that the second verse would provide a fitting requiem for the actress Ellen Terry.

Song Bird-Nana Mouskouri retires professionally
ATHENS (Reuters Life!) - After 50 years of song, Greek singer Nana Mouskouri bids farewell to the stage on Thursday, choosing the country of her birth and one of its most beautiful ancient theatres to say her final goodbye.
A sell out crowd erupted in cheers at the first of two concerts on Wednesday as Mouskouri, in her trademark black glasses and a red dress, stepped onto the marble of the Herod Atticus theatre at the foot of the floodlit Acropolis.
It is the culmination of a remarkable four-year farewell tour which began in 2004 and has taken the 73-year-old singer to 85 cities across Europe, North and South America, and Asia.
"Beautiful things or bad things they always have an end, nothing lasts forever," the singer told Reuters Television in an interview. "I thought it would be about time for me to leave the stage where I have lived for so many years ... All my life has happened through that stage."
One of the biggest female artists of all time, with 300 million records sold in seven languages, Mouskouri on Wednesday revisited songs that began her career in Greece and those that rocketed her to No. 1 in the charts from Germany to Britain.
Among the crowd on Wednesday were the mayors of Berlin, Paris and Luxembourg who came for the performance.
"I have been known to sing in a certain way and my fear is to lose this way of singing which will disappoint a lot of people," said the Cretan-born singer, explaining her retirement.
"It's not that I abandon singing or that I will never sing again in my life anywhere now, but I will not go on tours anymore. I don't want to have this fear all the time when you go on stage, this stagefright."
Born in 1934 as Ioanna Mouskouri, she began singing at a young age after moving to Athens with her family and attending the conservatory there. She sang in her first Greek music festival at 25 and has never looked back since.
She has recorded 1,500 songs and has more than 350 gold and platinum albums from country to folk, jazz, opera, pop and world music. She has toured with Harry Belafonte, recorded with U.S. producer Quincy Jones and Spanish legend Julio Iglesias, and Bob Dylan even wrote a song for her.
"It was like a dream, everything happened like a fairy tale," she said. "So I am really very grateful for what happened and in fact this tour ... was the opportunity to say thank you to the people. I wouldn't really go without saying thank you."
Mouskouri has dabbled in other professions. She presented a series for the Britain's BBC TV in 1968, became a goodwill ambassador for UN child agency UNICEF in 1993 and was elected to the European parliament the following year.
Mouskouri said she now wants to involve herself more closely with humanitarian causes, as well as give advice to young singers, possibly through classes. And she looks forward to spending more time with her family.

Nana on Greek radio for the next 7 weeks....................
These programs are emphasizing on the “uknown” aspects of her musical road all these years, especially for the Greek audience. In any case I think it will be interesting for everyone who loves good music. There are comments in Greek but most of the time is dedicated to the music of Nana. It's a tribute from Vassilis Kritikos to her for all she offered to us all these years.
Dates of transmission:
1st part August 8
2nd part August 15
3rd part August 22
4th part September 5
5th part Septemeber 12
6th part September 19
7th part Septemeber 26 (last part)
Time: 22.00 - 23.00 hrs (Greek time)
You can hear the radioshows through internet at: Trito radio
Then choose Radio Live (in the right and up) and then in the window of Radio Live you select (in the bottom line) Τρίτο 90,9.

Le livre de Robert Toutan préfacé par Nana
Il fut le plus grand attaché de presse de France. Au travers d’un livre croustillant, truffé d’anecdotes et de vérités, Robert Toutan nous fait découvrir les coulisses d’un univers resté encore discret. « Showbiz ? Si vous saviez… » est le titre de son tout premier livre dont les préfaces ont été rédigées par Nana Mouskouri et Julio Iglesias…

Comme l’a fort justement noté le jury de la SACEM en décernant en 1998 la Médaille de la communication musicale à Robert Toutan, « il y a attaché de presse et Attaché de presse, avec un A majuscule. Et puis… il y a Robert Toutan ».
Il est vrai que ce professionnel hors normes a mené dans les milieux du disque, de la chanson et du show-biz une carrière d’une longévité exceptionnelle : plus de cinquante années au service d’artistes français comme Sylvie Vartan, Joë Dassin, Dave, Catherine Lara, Jean-Jacques Goldman, Jeane Manson, Nana Mouskouri, Gilbert Bécaud, Guy Béart, Régine, Charles Trenet, Léo Ferré, Marie Laforêt… pour n’en citer que quelques-uns ! Ou étrangers comme les Rolling Stones, les Moody blues, Tom Jones, Julio Iglesias, Marianne Faithfull, Ivan Rebroff, Petula Clark, Joan Baez, Johnny Mathis, Harry Belafonte…
