The first 'unknown' rendition of Vaso Alagianni's famous song

Vaso Alagianni, a notable lyricist and composer in Greek music, gifted the industry with unique songs like 'Aquarius' and 'Lemon on the Orange Tree.' However, one of her compositions, 'Where Does Love Go When It Leaves,' holds a particularly interesting recording history.

While many know the song through Pitsa Papadopoulou's acclaimed 1994 performance, the article reveals that the first recording was made in 1988 by Yuli Tsirou. Tsirou, an accomplished singer who often performed alongside Giorgos Dalaras, released this song as the closing track on her debut album, 'Every Night I Sing.' The album, produced by Dalaras himself, featured 10 songs by Alagianni and Giorgos Zikas.

Dalaras not only provided backing vocals for Tsirou on 'Where Does Love Go When It Leaves' but also welcomed her to the 'family of singers' with a personal note. Tsirou, who first appeared in 1979, continued to showcase her talent over the years, including her 2003 album 'In the Bazaars of the World,' which featured international songs produced by Lavrentis Machairitsas.
