This year, Anna Vissi may be celebrating 50 years of her career, but there are still videos and photos of her from when she was a teenager.

Her career as a singer started as a teenager, and her thousands of fans brought to the surface a video from the past starring herself.

This is a clip from her appearance in 1973, when she sang for Cypriot television, accompanied by her sister, Lia, playing the piano.

Watch the video:

Anna Vissi was born 20 December 1957 and studied music at conservatories and performed locally before moving to the professional scene in Athens, in 1973, where she signed with Minos and simultaneously collaborated with other musical artists and released promotional singles of her own while studying at the University of Athens.

Over the course of her career she has released over two dozen albums, most of which have been certified at least gold in the two countries and has also starred in three theatrical productions and briefly ventured into television and radio.

Vissi has won six Arion Music Awards, 15 Pop Corn Music Awards, and nine MAD Video Music Awards. Vissi has received 37 Platinum and 16 Gold certifications from IFPI Greece and has become one of the country’s best-selling artists of all time, having sold over 10 million records worldwide and is one of the country’s top earning artists.

Alpha TV ranked Vissi as the second top-certified female artist in Greece in the phonographic era (since 1960), behind Haris Alexiou,[10] while Forbes listed her as the 15th most powerful and influential celebrity in Greece and fourth highest ranked singer.
