Nana Mouskouri (b. 13 October 1934) is a Greek singer.
A Greek Bearing Gifts
Over the span of her career, she has released over 200 albums in at least twelve languages. – Wikipedia
On July 23 and 24, 2008, Mouskouri gave her two final 'Farewell Concert' performances in Athens, Greece. In 2014 at the age of 80, she embarked on a three-year Happy Birthday Tour. - adapted from Wikipedia
Nana Mouskouri, who enjoyed keeping busy,
Sang in twelve tongues, just the thought makes me dizzy.
With two hundred albums and thousands of shows
She had not a moment for rest or repose.
She retired from her concerts at seventy-four,
But she came back at eighty to do them some more.
Which gives a new sense to the phrase when we speak
Of the splendid achievements of this great ancient Greek.
