Jimmy Makulis
With the hit “Nie war diese Welt so schön”, the Greek-born singer reached a wide German-speaking audience in the early 1960s. The release of several German-language singles during this period established him as a recognised name in post-war Schlager. Early pressings of his hits are of particular interest to collectors of historical records today.
