She revealed her talent at a young age while taking guitar, music, dance, ballet and voice lessons.

It received many awards for its originality and thought-provoking contemporary graphics including in 1971 the world-famous Bronze Rose of Montreux.

The show has been repeated over the years and is seen as a classic piece very evocative of the era though at first it was not well received in all quarters owing to its surprising even shocking imagery in an age when songs were not generally accompanied by visuals for marketing purposes.

After returning to Europe Leandros released albums of various genres which included German folk music and Christmas songs.

[citation needed] It regularly appears on compilation albums and is easily the most famous and remembered song by Vicky Leandros in Spanish.

In 1981 she recorded the album Love is Alive including duets with Demis Roussos, Johnny Hallyday and US star David Soul for a United Nations Benefit.

Also in 1981 she released the album Ich gehe neue Wege and its Greek version, Irtha Yia Sena.

This comeback was consolidated in 1982 by the success of the song "Verlorenes Paradies" from the same titled next album which saw Leandros back in the upper reaches of the singles charts in many territories after a few years absence.

This single and corresponding album (Vicky) gave Leandros a notable comeback in Canada and she toured there after a gap of many years in 1985.

In 1986 following her 1985 album entitled Eine Nacht in Griechenland Leandros again took time off to concentrate on her private life.

Leandros did not tour and made very limited appearances during this period concentrating mainly on her family life and her three young children.

[citation needed] In 1990 Leandros released the album "Starkes Gefühl" (Strong Feeling) which notably contained a new version of "Apres Toi" her Eurovision song contest winner of 1972.

The album also contained the German version of “Piretos tou erota” now "Süchtig nach Geborgenheit" which was the first single cut.

The early 1990s saw her scoring successful albums in Greece with "Prosexe" (1991), "Andres" (1993), and in Germany with the singles "Du Bist Mein Schönster Gedanke" (1994), and a duet with Tony Christie, "We're Gonna Stay Together" (1995).

The resurgence of popularity in Greece saw first the re-release on vinyl of Leandros' early albums (with different sleeves) and later a CD release of them all with bonus tracks.

This song "Weil mein Herz dich nie mehr vergisst" gave Leandros her highest-charting record since Verlorenes Paradies in 1982.

Following this she featured again on the charts of several countries such as Canada, China, Japan, Belgium and South Africa due to the many greatest hits collections that several companies released.

Around this time she appeared in many TV shows on German and Greek television including galas with José Carreras.

The latter award was presented to her at her classical concert held at the Herod Atticus amphitheatre in October 2003 and is the highest honour that the Greek Orthodox church can bestow.

Her song "Don't Break My Heart" which had already entered the charts failed to win the most votes from the televoting public.

The next album Zeitlos in 2010 returned to the idea born in 2008 of recording a collection of French songs and World hits in the German language.
