 Introduction
Vicky Leandros, born as
Vassiliki Papathanassiou on the Greek island Corfu in 1952, moved to
West-Germany with her parents in 1958. Vicky is mostly known to a wider audience
for her songs performed at the Eurovision Song festival, which she wins in 1972
with her entry 'Apres toi'. After this success her career booms worldwide, but
especially in Germany and Greece.
In 1983 Vangelis contributes a song to Vicky's album 'Vicky', titled 'Adler
und Taube'. This song, originally recorded with German lyrics, is later also
released with French lyrics, as 'La colombe et l'aigle'.
Although
Vangelis and Vicky share the same family name 'Papathanassiou', it is not likely
that they are related, as the name is quite common in Greece.

Unfortunately this album was never released on CD. Any of the LP's is pretty
hard to find, but if you're looking for a copy I suggest you focus on the German
issue, as that one still pops up once and a while...
