Aphrodite's Child were a Greek pop rock psychedelic band, 1967 to 1972. After Vangelis' Greek 1960s band "The Forminx" broke up, Vangelis, together with singer Demis Roussos and drummer Lucas Sideras left for London to try their success outside of Greece. They got stuck in Paris and formed the band "Aphrodite's Child". This is single It's 5 O Clock (Mercury 7" Greece: 1969/U.K. 1970)
