Follow me - Demis Roussos

I don't think many chart singles are based on classical music these days. But in the Seventies and early Eighties, it happened every once in a while. This track by Demis Roussos is a good example: 'Follow me' was based on Rodrigo's Concerto d'Aranjuez, and was an impressive piece clocking in at six minutes.

Demis reached number 25 in the Dutch Top 40 with this single, and had a Europe-wide hit with it as well.
