2. Gladys Aylward
3. Ingrid Bergman*
4. Paul Cezanne
5. Leonardo Da Vinci
6. George Washington
7. Woodrow Wilson
8. Chris Squire
9. David Cassidy

*Bergman (175 cm) incongruously played Aylward (147 cm) in the 1958 film The Inn of the Sixth Happiness

(Also Catherine the Great, Henry I)

Aphrodite's Child (Roussos, Vangelis, Sidaris) Spring Summer Winter & Fall

Blast from the past

Another one bites the dust, Demis Roussos

Continental seventies rockstars seem to be falling like flies at present. German Edgar Froese was not widely covered but Greek star Demis Roussos was. I have very little Roussos in my collection but this opening title track from Aphrodite's Child (yes that's Vangelis on keyboards and before Demis got fat and wore khaftans) is a great track. It's power to induce nostalgia (a Greek word after all that really refers to homesickness) is powerful. I like particulalry the way it really does seem to be 5 pm (in winter) when I listen to it.
