Artemios Roussos was born on June 15, 1946 in Alexandria, Egypt, and died on January 25, 2015 in Athens, Greece. As George and Olga’s first son, he was of Greek extraction. Three years later, his younger brother Costandinos, was born. Throughout his childhood he was influenced by the musics that were coexisting in Egypt. The sound of Arabic music entered into his life at that time and has continued until today as one of his biggest influences. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Demis+Roussos">

Artemios "Demis" Ventouris-Roussos (/ˈruːsoʊs/ ROO-sohss; Greek: Αρτέμιος "Ντέμης" Βεντούρης-Ρούσσος, IPA: [aɾˈtemi.os ˈdemis venˈduriz ˈrusos]; 15 June 1946 – 25 January 2015) was an Egyptian-born Greek musician. As a band member, he is best remembered for his work in the progressive rock music act Aphrodite's Child, but as a vocal soloist, his repertoire included hit songs like "Goodbye, My Love, Goodbye", "From Souvenirs to Souvenirs" and "Forever and Ever".
Roussos sold over 60 million albums worldwide and became "an unlikely kaftan-wearing sex symbol".
