  Nana Mouskouri - Biography - AOL Music
Ioana Mouskouri (Joanna in English; nicknamed "Nana" from a young age) was born October 13, 1934, on the island of Crete, in the town of Chania (or Carée in French).
Mouskouri ascended to superstardom in France with her 1967 album Le Jour Où la Colombe, which featured much of the core of her French repertoire: "Au Coeur de Septembre," "Adieu Angélina," "Robe Bleue, Robe Blanche," and a cover of the French pop classic "Le Temps des Cerises," among others.
Mouskouri's 1991 English-language compilation Only Love: The Best of Nana Mouskouri became her best-selling release in the United States, which had long been the toughest market for her to crack.

I initially bought this CD primarily to hear Nana Mouskouri's version of the classical "Ave Maria." Although my favorite version remains the one sung by Mario Lanza, I found Mouskouri's version quite pleasant and entirely listenable.
The tune is terrific, but Nana's voice quite spoils the song as her voice suddenly grows very old, but still in a reasonable sound.
I'm truly touched with Nana's fabulous voice and the wonderful songs, and beside, I'd like to classify this album as classical crossover, as this album fulfilled the criteria of crossover album, some pop songs and classical songs rearranged and sung by beautiful voice.

I have loved listening to Nana Mouskouri ever since I first heard her perform on the old "Tonight Show With Johnny Carson" some years ago.
However with the extraordinary number of tracks and performances Ms Mouskouri has recorded as a treasure of her musical talent, it is by no means an exhaustive anthology of "her best".
To hear her vocal accompanied by a true Greek Bouzouki makes the Abba song "I Have A Dream" sound exactly the way you had always imagined and "heard" it to be in your mind.

Well-received performances at several international song festivals were added incentives for her team to relocate to Germany, where "Weiss Rosen Aus Athen' (derived from a Greek folk tune), a number from Hadjidakis" soundtrack to the 1961 movie Traumland Der Sehnsucht, sold a million copies.
Now one of her country's foremost musical ambassadors, Mouskouri undertook a US college tour which was followed by further record success, particularly in France with such songs as "L'Enfant Au Tambour", "Parapluies De Cherbourg" (a duet with Michel Legrand) and a 1967 arrangement of the evergreen "Guantanamera".
A collection of Mouskouri favourites from a BBC season in the early 70s spent many weeks in the Top 30 but, other than a postscript Top 10 single ("Only Love') in 1986, her UK chart career climaxed with 1976"s Passport.

 Barnes & Noble.com - Music: Passport, Nana Mouskouri, CD
The conceit of this double album-length set is that Nana Mouskouri is doing songs from different nations.
However, even though Passport is a compilation recorded over a span of over a decade with a variety of accompanists ranging from Mouskouri's original backing group, the Athenians, to the easy listening specialists the Mike Sammes Singers, the albums sounds as if it could have been recorded during one lengthy session.
Such is the strength of Mouskouri's jazzy, middle-of-the-road pop style that songs as varied as her biggest hit, "Never on Sunday" (here presented in its original Greek lyrics as "Ta Pedia Tou Pirea"), Paul Simon's "Bridge Over Troubled Water," and the traditional "Amazing Grace" end up sounding pretty much the same.
