Na 'Hes Kardia

Na 'hes Kardia (Greek: Να 'Χες Καρδιά; English: If You Had A Heart) is the sixth album by Greek singer Anna Vissi. Released in 1984, it was her first album under CBS Greece. It featured 12 laika songs, all written by then-husband Nikos Karvelas. Lyricists of the album were Karvelas, Vissi herself and Sarantis Alivizatos. The ballad "Kai Eho Tosa Na Thimame" (And I have so much to remember) is considered the most durable hit off the album, still gaining airplay in Greek radio stations and being a standard of most of Vissi's shows. The orchestra was conducted by Nikos Lavranos. In the course of years, the album reached Gold status.^[1] It was first released on CD in 1992 as a joint package with 1985's album Kati Simveni. In 1997, a separate, stand-alone edition was released.
