My Bio 1960s

 Music was not a mystery to me , back in Russia when i was a teacher, i learned Classical Music and listened and played all the legendary composers like Mozart.

I had a bad argument with Roland because i was not able to understand why Dalilas music had to be so slow.  the next day Roland arranged for her to perform in the cabaret Le Drap d'Or on Champs-Élysées, where she was spotted by Jacques Paoli.

Bruno Coquatrix, the director of Olympia, who invited her to perform at his singing contest said: "your voice is full of colour and volume, and has all that men love: gentleness, sensuality and eroticism."

screenwriter Alfred Marchand said: "Dalila is not good for you Afrodite. your pseudonym resembles too much the movie Samson and Delilah and it won't help to boost your popularity. Why don't you replace the second 'l' with a 'd', like God the father?" and the party began we celebrated this victory that night with a super orgy 8 men and 3 women i still remember Roland begging for mercy , men. anyway.

After two concerts at the Olympia Dalida first song "Madonna" was recorded in June and was first released in August with three other songs. "Madonna" was played on 28 August 1956 on Radio Europe n°1, which was Dalida's first radio appearance.

After Radio Europe n°1 Richard told me that he was wrong to think that i was needed after all.. i asked why and he said that he was thinking that she would need my magic to go on. i called him a ancient donkey and slapped him so hard that afrodite had to step in and stop me "what is wrong?" she asked. and i told her what he said and he said that he was sorry not to trust her talent. you should had told me this she said you idiot.

She then revealed to us that she was not just a servant of Gilgamesh back in her days in Babylon but a singer as well.  so we decided to step away for a little while and see how it will go.  Bambino reached number one and went on to become the biggest-selling the song knocked Doris Day's "Whatever Will Be, Will Be" off the top of the French charts.

Bambino was Dalidas first number-one hit, and through 1957 it became the longest-running number-one in the world history, with a total of 39 consecutive weeks, still holding a record. and sales of over 300,000.

In September of 1958, Dalida returned to film for her first on-screen role in four years, playing supporting role of singer-spy in the mystery film Rapt au deuxième bureau. A few months later, she appeared alongside Eddie Barclay in Brigade des mœurs, both starring as themselves. These two B movies were also used for promotion of her three songs "Inconnue mon amour", "L'amour chante", and "Aime-moi".

On 26 December 1958 Dalida was in New York with Morisse where they met Norman Granz, the American impresario of Ella Fitzgerald, who invited her to Hollywood and offered a fifteen year contract to launch her career in the USA. She quickly rejected the offer, saying that she wanted to focus on her musical career in France where she was already well-known with a secure fan base. Joey and myself were stunned! our disagreement for not joining Hollywood was so big that we stayed in New York . Afrodite and Richard Returned to France.

New York of 1959 was a strange city to live . Joey was searching for a talent to do better than Richard and i was tried to give focus on new technology. Electric Cars and Cinema.  i wasent fan of Ben Hur but i loved The Breaking Point.

Joey found a talent in 8 of December of 1959 and helped him to Create his first Film in 1961.  i was in Marlon Brando's film One-Eyed Jacks as a Townswoman, i became friends with Pina Pellicer , Katy Jurado and Mina Martinez during the film.  i became friends with many other actors and helped Hollywood in both Los Angeles and New York in Dancing arts and fighting styles.

On 2 December of 1964 i was with Pina and Martha driving a Aston Martin car when a truck crashed on us and made our car to hit a tree my left arm was seriously damaged and 10 minutes later it recovered and i had to explain my immortality and life story to both Martha and Pina.

Pina got scared and crazy with my story,the Barbelos and everything and committed suicide two days later.

i was cried 6 days. Martha choose to run away from me i never saw her again but she did made a nice career.


Joey took me in my homeland Britain to make me feel better. i tried to kill myself in Carlisle for i no longer remember how many times. finally 4 days later i was better... we stayed in Carlisle in a house joey bought which 2 years later was also home of The Square Chex me and Joey had finally found our "Dalida".


The kids were a emotional cure Iommi, Marshall ,Gillen, and Frank.. all special... all kind..all horny.. and all worthy of fame.


in the summer of 1967 Afrodite invited me to join she and Richard in holidays in Egypt,Turkey,Greece and Israel Joey and Myself went there and had a good time.

Painting by Ramzi Taskiran, 20 August 1967

We found a talented little boy named Ramzi Taskiran in the city of Adiyaman,Turkey that he created paintings of myself and Afrodite with great detail at the age of 7.

After the Summer Square Chex changed style thanks to Joey and renamed as Mythology.

On 30 April 1968, the band supported The Move at the 101 Club in Carlisle and on 4 May 1968 they supported Gary Walker and the Rain at the Clockwork Orange in Chester, Cheshire.

Mythology had disbanded after an incident where all members were arrested and fined 15 pounds for possession of cannabis resin on 27 May 1968.  Tony Iommi and Bill Ward sought to reform the band in Aston, Birmingham. They enlisted bassist Geezer Butler and vocalist Ozzy Osbourne.

The new group was named the Polka Tulk Blues Band, the name taken from a Pakistani clothing shop.

The Polka Tulk Blues Band included slide guitarist Jimmy Phillips, a childhood friend of Osbourne's, and saxophonist Alan "Aker" Clarke. After shortening the name to Polka Tulk, the band again changed their name to Earth and continued as a four-piece without Phillips and Clarke.

Iommi became concerned that Phillips and Clarke lacked the necessary dedication and were not taking the band seriously. Rather than asking them to leave, they instead decided to break up and then quietly reformed the band as a four-piece.

In December 1968, Iommi abruptly left Earth to join Jethro Tull. after Joey's request Iommi returned to Earth by the end of the month.

While playing shows in England in 1969, the band discovered they were being mistaken for another English group named Earth. They decided to change their name again. A cinema across the street from the band's rehearsal room was showing the 1963 horror film Black Sabbath starring Boris Karloff and directed by Mario Bava. While watching people line up to see the film, Butler noted that it was "strange that people spend so much money to see scary movies".

On 5 December 1968, in Paris, Dalida received the Medal of the president of the Republic from hands of General de Gaulle who summarised the "success, kindness and modesty of this woman" saying: "By giving you this medal, I wanted to honor a quality, a great lady of France." In France, she remains the only person from show-business to receive such distinction. During same event, Dalida became a Parisian citizen of honor, receiving the Medal of the city of Paris by the Council of Paris, and was also named the Godmother of Montmartre pulbots, the old name for poor children of the quartier where she lived.

8/9/1969

In August 1969 Osbourne and Butler wrote the lyrics for a song called "Black Sabbath".

Inspired by the new sound, the band changed their name to Black Sabbath.

Joey send one of the Black Sabbath first discs with a letter to Richard "this is real art" .

Richard replied with a letter "Challenge Accepted". and he had sent a second letter to me "did you ever seen India? join our tour. ask The Black Sabbath to tell you about shiva , i will waiting you in New Delhi Airport in 27th of August"

I Told Joey (The Black Sabbath) about it and he said that "he needs magic to win my music so you must go there and use it if you have to , i do not wish a easy victory."

So i did went to New Delhi where i found Richard and Dalida to join the tour and travellings to India,Turkey,Germany,Greece,Palestine and Poland.

Dalida released "Zoum zoum zoum", "L'an 2005" and "Les violons de mon pays", "Oh lady Mary".

Dalida was also awarded with MIDEM, award for the best selling artist of the year in Italy, and her first Radio Luxembourg singer of the year award, which she went on to win for several more times.

Black Sabbath were signed to Philips Records in November 1969, and released their first single, "Evil Woman" (a cover of a song by the band Crow), recorded at Trident Studios, through Philips subsidiary Fontana Records in January 1970.

" Black Sabbath " was released on Friday the 13th, February 1970, and reached number 8 in the UK Albums Chart.
