Demis Roussos

1946 - 2015

I was 18 when Forever and Ever was in the music charts.  My little cousin was just 6 years old, but he never forgot the song...

Sketches

I've got a modest Samsung E2550 phone.  I love the "Sketch" photos I can take with it:

He had a great lesson website too, which I sometimes used for my lessons. I bought his album from eBay when it was released. Then he disappeared, which was a pity. He turned up again on LinkedIn and has made a great video of one of his songs….
