A memoir by Googoosh in English?? Have I understood this right?

A real star, a real singer - icon even. I love her voice.

“Bavar Kon” and “Behesht” are my favourites of her songs.

The latter is the track she recorded in support of Iran’s LGBTQ community.

However flawed this book is it’s a must-read.

Googoosh: A Sinful Voice by Googoosh with Tara Dehlavi review – the extraordinary story of an Iranian icon

Her voice soundtracked the 60s and 70s, but the revolution silenced her. The legendary singer finally has her say in this uneven memoir

While in Copenhagen I walked to Vestre Cemetery to visit the grave of the singer Liva Weel (1897-1952).

Her recording of the song ‘Man Binder Os På Mund Og Hånd’ (‘We Are Bound Mouth And Hand’) is one of my all-time favourite tracks.

Such a sad, beautiful song.

Four years today since the death of the great Shibuki Maho.

One of Takarazuka’s big stars in the 60s and early 70s.

What a voice! What charisma!

“Elis Regina is … one of the last unknown treasure troves of the 20th century that the world could discover … and she’s just one click away,”

Elis Regina was incredible. A ‘skin voice’. One of my favourite singers of all time.

I came across her on a Brazilian music compilation in 1992 and it was instant love. If it takes #AI and a #Volkswagen advert to bring her to the rest of the world, so be it.
