Nana Mouskouri recorded only two Songs by Burt Bacharach. This is one of them - "La place vide" aka "This Empty Place". Originally a small hit for Dionne Warwick (USA # 84) this song has also been recorded by as diverse as Stephanie Mills, Cilla Black and Whitney Houstons mother Cissy. Mouskouri shows obviously another side of her beautiful voice. Released in 1963 on an EP for the Fontana label.

  • Merci!

  • What the heck are you talking about "awful song?" Is that why so many recorded Mr. Bacharach's song, including the Tangeers, Ian and The Zodiacs, Stephanie Mills, Dionne Warwick and The Searchers in the U.K.? Its also a highly collectible sound on the Northern Soul circuit by Janie Marden on Reprise too. The general public are NOT always right, just look at some of the people they elect to office and the music they turn their back on! Nana did this great version justice in French.

  • What an awful song.  Not even Nana can save it. The fact that it was only a 'small" hit for Warwick, who had one BIG hit after another in the 60's, shows that even the general public recognized a poor song when they heard it.

  • incredible powerfull Nana version ruling the Youtube station!

  • very well done. Outstanding song anyway...

  • ....JUST INCREDIBLE! omg.

    and i never use capitals.. her voice is nothing short of amazing - i always loved this song and never thought anyone could touch dionne's version.. thank you, xanadu! merci, merci!

  • Thanks for the details, XanaduCGN. I had never heard this song, prior to Nana's interpretation, and even that happened in 1968. I still remember the radio station. It was Radio Monte Carlo - and I live in Northern Greece!

  • Stunning voice and beautiful French diction!!!

  • She can do no wrong.
