Artists & Songs related to the broadcasts of Thessaloniki's radio legend, Yorgos Alexiou (mostly birthdays of musicians but also releases & charts)
Jonathan Brian Kermode, born January 24, 1957.
He remained one of Thessaloniki's Radio biggest mysteries for decades.
The mystery was solved when Thessaloniki's Radio Jockey, Nick Katanakis interviewed him on January 21, 2022.
He had two major hits in the 80s, in Thessaloniki's pirate radio under two pseudonyms:
1) Cry - JAMES STEEN (b-side on single Lie, 1982)
Cover version of the classic Churchill Kohlman song, whose most known version is the 1951 cover by Johnny Ray.
2) I Don't Want To Lose Your Love - RICKY ANDERSON (single, 1983)
Further pseudonyms, aliases or collaborations of Jon:
Half Brother (I Look In Your Eyes, 1978 / Hideaway, 1979)
Anthony Hopkins (Distant Star, 1986)
Written & produced by Jon
John Christian (Ebony Eyes, 1987)
another alias of Jon
He now resides in Sweden. He stills makes music & makes a living as a musician.
He will probably never realize that his songs are a part of the best years of our lives. God bless you, Jon!
