Part Girl

Thanks for your kind post and the clip for Maziar.

Loved to see Farhad singing with such passion and playing the piano. His lyrics awakens so many memories, as if we have all lived through the same experiences. Only a true artist can come up with such sweet stuff.

Thanks again. Bless the Universe for giving us so much beauty.

thanx PG khanoom; ooh that's the same club you're talking about I think  la cini (cuccini) or something like that next to poli d'or cinema.    cheers and have a wonderful day.           Maziar

Maziar 58 Jan

Ha ha!  I didn't know there were gay bars in Tehran!  I have a collection of CD's in a box which Farhad's family published right after his death.  In it, there are home and garage recordings of his earlier music.  There is one track which was recorded at a club in Tehran, where he and his friends were jamming a jazz/blues song.  His interactions with the crowd and his band sound like they were all drunk and having a jolly good time, oblivious to their audience and just playing for themselves.  It's really fascinating!  I remember meeting him in a hotel in Isfahan when I was 16.  Even then he was bigger than life to me and I was too shy to walk up and say anything.  Thinking about it, I guess I didn't know to ask for an autograph and display proper "fan behavior!"  I tried to get into a concert which was planned for him in Tehran in the '90's, but the concert was cancelled, so I never again found the pleasure of seeing him in person.  Rest in peace, Farhad, the music giant of our times.  Here's one just for you Maziar58, the Party Guy!  He sang this one shortly before his death:

thanks

for the farhad clips it sure brought a combo of good and bad memories in me,So I'll share the Bad one

one summer visiting Tehran on  Elizabeth Blvd. near...  there was a nice Bar and piano we were invited to have a drink and late Farhad was singing jose feliciano's lyrics with his guitar so memorable

when I told my other Tehrani friends the next time about it

they replied: Man do you know thats a gay Bar ?you went to ?  Maziar

Thank you so much for visiting and for leaving that sweet comment.  Farhad was a gem.  I am so sad he died so young.  My childhood, too, though not nearly as exciting as yours (!) was spent around this man's music and voice.  Here's something you might find interesting.  It's a BebinTV report about him:

Thank you Mona!

And here's a clip Mr. Iranianoldies has put together from Rangarang weekly variety program.  Pure nostalgia! Don't forget to visit his channel on YouTube:

Party Girl and

All you guys and gals. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, for posting such amazing treasure troves of beautiful music, took me back right to my youth.

What treasure! Keep em coming.

Way back in 1967, I had the first pop band in Bahrain called The Beez. We torued a few Gulf haunts and played mostly 60's pop stuff and Persian songs of the time. 

It great to hear such songs again. I adored Frahd, marde tanha. Great accoustic guitar rendition.

Love you all. We have such a beautiful culture. Teach it to your children.

You could easily be my 'havoo' trying to get me out of shape with all the food you tempt me with.

Good to run into you again.

Reza Motori:

While you folks are

wallowing in nostalgia, how could you forget Fereydoon Foroghi:

Foroghi performing live on Iranian TV back in '76 (white suit, black shirt, sweating profusely) is one the rare memories of the 70's in my ever vanishing recollection of times past.

and of course you've already seen this one

Party Girl jan, not meaning to derail your blog but some of us used to hear lots of Italian songs growing up in Tehran especially at parties. Remeber those slow dances?;O)) yes the ones where couples were stuck at the top leaving space below the waist, or not? :o))

can't find the Googoosh one, but here's to Al Bano Romina fans

//www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZESafMsulI

They were so sweet together! 

Good Morning

Have a great day every one , and enjoy

P.S.good to see you dear party girl

Dear Darius

I will look for that clip.  In the meantime, I have something which might interest you.

I have a link where you can download Googoosh's rendition of Albano's Nel sol:

Party Girl and Bahram Can you find ...

The Googoosh Show where she invited Albano and Romilda Power( Daughter of Hollywood Star Tyron Power by the way) in Tehran.

I vividly Recall how she introduced him with his back to the audience and he suddenly turned around with Googoosh introducing him with his eyeglasses.

Albano and Nana Mouskouri used to have their EyeGlasses Ads in all the Bazars in Iran.

Would love to find that show. It was no wonder Iranians and Italians seem to have so much in common particularly in regard to the 70's and 60's Music and Film trends.

Thanks in advance,

DK

Thank you Monda Jan,

I'm off, too!  Thanks for a great time!  Have a good week ahead!  Monda Jan, did you know that Vigen also sang a Baba Karam?  Check this out!  Goodnight!

Best of Vigen...shab bekhair bache haa!

Party Girl jan, Bahram jan and other doostaan - since I can't come up with gheri-enough nostalgia, I'm sending me to bed :o)

well actually part of this Best of Vigen is gheri but I have load of work to finish for tomorrow. Thank you for this blog. I'll check on it again!  And by then I would've learned how to embed :o)

Anahid and Monda jan

I agree with the dream part about Foroozan!  Men just loved her.  She became a lot more serious later in her career, performing some pretty good roles in films.  She was beautiful and sexy and very popular.

I love Martik.  This is not from the 1970's, but from the 1980's.  A sweet song.

Foroozan was one of my favorites

Good dancer or not, Foroozan was one of my favorite actresses.  I don't remember Ganj Gharoon but I had seen her in other movies.  You have to admit she was very beautiful and that is why Bahram says that she was the dream girl.

hate to be a party pooper!

but this is as cheery as I can come up with:

and I still can't embed cause I don't see that option on bottom of this screen

Lovely!

Thanks so much Bahram Jan!  Yes, that's a lot better.  Beautiful dancing.

Thanks so much for keeping these gems for us and for our children.  I didn't go to "Khooneh bakht," or I would also give you "maraateb e tashakkor e Mr. Party Guy."  You'll just have to accept my single appreciation!

Now, this was a lot before our time, but here's "Banoo Mahvash" singing and dancing, again borrowed from your wonderful channel. 

.....

Bebin Bahram!

I was right!  She couldn't dance to save her life!  Your clip just confirmed it!  Lots of jirations and lab o dahan and eshveh, but no real dancing!  That was O.K., too, but it wasn't "dancing!"  Now, on the other hand, we have here a fabulous dancer who CAN dance and WILL dance the Persian dance, no matter what!  Ba ejazeh, borrowed from your channel:
