A very special artistic phenomenon was at the heart of this week’s GME broadcasts. We are referring to a wave of covers of Italian, Spanish, French, British, Dutch and other international hits that flooded the Greek recording landscape towards the end of the 1970s, until the mid-1980s. Some of the greatest vocalists became representatives of this fashion, including Giannis Poulopoulos, Giannis Parios, Fillippos Nikolaou as well as the artists that we shall be listening to today: Pop legend Anna Vissi and light-folk singer Giannis Katevas. The style of these songs was not the rock ‘n’ roll vibe of the 60s – here we are dealing with romantic love ballads that belong to a massive spectrum of artists, from Julio Iglesias to Lionel Richie.
