GENRE: World (Turkish Folk)

LABEL: Goskun Records

COMPANY: Goskun Records

CATALOGUE NUMBER: 636

YEAR OF RELEASE: 197?

FORMAT: LP (Gatefold)

PRICE: $34.99

CONDITION OF COVER: VG+ (It bears a small tear on the opening part, a moldy part on the upper left corner on the front and a minor ringwear, mostly visible on the back. Those imperfections make this piece of rarity more attractive!!!)

CONDITION OF RECORD: Excellent (It only bears some inaudible surface hairlines, possibly caused from rubbing with the inner sleeve and some continuous background noise, not that much annoyable, pretty reasonable for its age! Please bear in mind that record is almost 40 years old. Turkish industry had problems on manufacturing heavy-thick vinyl like this one! Most of the Turkish material of the era is pretty rare and has been transferred from 45rpm and 78rpm records to 33rpm vinyl records. That's the reason behind that in some occasions the sound quality is not that much crystal clear like in most of the modern productions. Turkish buyers are aware of this.

DESCRIPTION

Müren grew up in the provincial capital city of Bursa in western Turkey. From 1950 to 1953 he studied decorative arts in Istanbul at the Fine Arts Academy while launching his musical career. Müren’s first album was issued in 1951, at which time he was a regular singer on Istanbul Radio. In 1955, he produced his first Gold Record.

In his forty-five-year professional career Müren composed more than three hundred songs and made more than six hundred recordings. He was celebrated as the "Sun" of classical Turkish music and was affectionately called "Pasha". For many years he reigned as "Artist of the Year". Many of Müren's records were also published in Greece, where he also enjoyed popularity, along with the U.S., Germany, Iran, and several other countries during the 1960s and 1970s.

Müren was also a gifted poet, publishing B?ld?rc?n Ya?muru (The Quail Rain) in 1965. Additionally, he acted in Turkish cinema, starring in eighteen films and writing many of their musical scores. Even though he did not consider himself a painter, he painted as a hobby.

Müren dressed effeminately, wearing large, ornate rings and heavy make up, especially in the later years of his life. In many ways, he had a pioneering role in rendering the Turkish society more accepting about homosexuality. He, with his distinct style, remained a highly respected artist throughout his career, and in a sense, paved the way for many later, more openly gay or transsexual Turkish artists.

He died of a heart attack during a live performance on stage in the city of ?zmir on September 24, 1996. His death caused the greatest public grief in years and thousands of Turks attended his funeral. Zeki Müren Art Museum, established in Bodrum, where Müren used to live, has been visited by more than 200,000 people between its opening on June 8, 2000 and December 2006.All his worldly possessions are donated to the Türk E?itim Vakf? (Foundation for Turkish Education) and Mehmetçik Vakf?na (Foundation For widow's of the armed forces)
