A very special episode about the legendary Googoosh. Understanding her story is quintessential to the history of Iranian music! She's influenced generations of Persian women even though her career was cut short under the Khomeini regime that was installed subsequent to the Islamic Revolution. After 20 years of being under house arrest in Tehran, Googoosh is now back and performing for crowds sizing in the tens of thousands. This episode explores the expansive career of Iran's finest Diva. She remains a musical icon in the eyes of many, including myself.
