This album, was one of Demis Roussos greatest albums of the 70'S as I have been told. It went to no. 4 in the UK Album Chart. Happy to be on island in the Sun went to the UK Top 5 in 1975 and "so Dreamy" part of a four songs single the "Roussos Phenomonon EP" released in the UK in 1976, which went to number 1, becoming the first EP ever to top the singles chart in the UK, which sold more than a million copies. 22, Demis Roussos appears to all ages. My best song in this album is Far away

Demis Roussos is a studio album by Greek singer Demis Roussos, released in 1978 on Philips Records (on Mercury Records in the United States). The album spent 6 weeks on the . Billboard Top LPs & Tape chart (now called Billboard 200), peaking at no. 184 on the week of July 8, 1978. Produced by Freddie Perren for Grand Slam Productions.

Demis' first solo album was "On the Greek Side of My Mind" which was also titled "Fire and Ice" on the French release. The album featured Lucas Sideras and Silver Koulouris of Aphrodite's Child, Michel Ripoche on violin, with lyrics by Boris Bergman, another Aphrodite's Child alumni. The arrangements were by Stylianos (Lakis) Vlavianos who mixed elements of Greek folk music with progressive rock. 1976's "Happy to B. provided some hidden treasures such as "Mary Was an Only Child", "Funny Man" and "Lovely Love De Paris", which was written and arranged by the French composer Francis Lai ("Bilitis", "Love Story") with his arranger Jean Musy ("Chanel Solitaire"). 1977 saw Demis and Vangelis teaming up for the "Magic" album, on which there were some inspired moments.
