Original Song: Nana Mouskouri • • Plaisir d'amour • Plaisir d'amour ([plɛ.ziʁ da.muʁ], Pleasure of love ) is a classical French love song written in 1784 by Jean-Paul-Égide Martini (1741–1816); it took its text from a poem by Jean-Pierre Claris de Florian (1755–1794), which appears in his novel Célestine • The song was greatly successful in Martini's version. For example, a young woman, Madame Julie Charles, sang it to the poet Alphonse de Lamartine during his cure at Aix-les-Bains in 1816, and the poet was to recall it 30 years later. • Hector Berlioz arranged it for orchestra (H134) in 1859. Louis van Waefelghem arranged the tune for viola d'amore or viola and piano in the 1880s.[citation needed] It has been arranged and performed in various pop music settings. • It has been interpreted by many famous singers: Fritz Wunderlich (1965), Yvonne Printemps (1931), Tino Rossi (1955), Joan Baez (1961), Judith Durham of the Seekers (1963), Marianne Faithfull (1965), Nana Mouskouri (1971), Brigitte Bardot, Barbara Hendricks, Andrea Bocelli, Mireille Mathieu, Peter Alexander, Ivan Rebroff and Eddy Mitchell are among them. The King’s Singers, one of the best English a capella choirs also have a version. • • Ioanna Nana Mouskouri OQ (Greek: Ιωάννα Νάνα Μούσχουρη [i.oˈana ˈnana ˈmusxuri]; born 13 October 1934) is a Greek singer and politician. Over the span of her career, she has released over 200 albums in at least twelve languages, including Greek, French, English, German, Dutch, Portuguese, Italian, Japanese, Spanish, Hebrew, Welsh, Mandarin Chinese and Corsican. • Mouskouri became well known throughout Europe for the song The White Rose of Athens , recorded first in German as Weiße Rosen aus Athen as an adaptation of her Greek song Σαν σφυρίξεις τρείς φορές (San sfyríxeis tris forés, When you whistle three times ). It became her first record to sell over one million copies. • Later in 1963, she represented Luxembourg at the Eurovision Song Contest with the song À force de prier . Her friendship with the composer Michel Legrand led to the recording by Mouskouri of the theme song of the Oscar-nominated film The Umbrellas of Cherbourg. From 1968 to 1976, she hosted her own TV show produced by BBC, Presenting Nana Mouskouri. Her popularity as a multilingual television personality and distinctive image, owing to the then unusual signature black-rimmed glasses, turned Mouskouri into an international star. • Je chante avec toi Liberté , recorded in 1981, is perhaps her biggest hit to date, performed in at least five languages – French, English as Song for Liberty , German as Lied der Freiheit , Spanish as Libertad and Portuguese as Liberdade . Only Love , a song recorded in 1985 as the theme song of TV series Mistral's Daughter, gained worldwide popularity along with its other versions in French (as L'Amour en Héritage ), Italian (as Come un'eredità ), Spanish (as La dicha del amor ), and German (as Aber die Liebe bleibt ). It became her only UK hit single when it reached number two in February 1986. • Mouskouri became a spokesperson for UNICEF in 1993 and was elected to the European Parliament as a Greek deputy from 1994 to 1999. • In 2006 she was a special guest on Eurovision Song Contest 2006's final, presented as the best selling artist of all time. • In 2015, she was awarded the Echo Music Prize for Outstanding achievements by the German music association Deutsche Phono-Akademie.
