a look at the music of Vangelis Papathanassiou

Introduction
Tassos Papastamatis is mostly known as the singer of The Forminx. His particular voice, similar to that of Frank Sinatra or Bing Crosby, can be easily recognized on the Forminx' songs like 'Our last September', or 'A precious white rose'.

After the split up of The Forminx Tassos shortly pursued a solo-career, but in spite of his distinct vocals he never really got the hits he must have been hoping for. Vangelis lend a helping hand, as is shown by the release of the single 'Rosetta / Days of Love', as well as an earlier recorded song 'Strangers in the night'.

As for the single, Vangelis is only involved on the B-side, as he composed the song 'Days of Love'.
