Googoosh is a pop diva of Azerbaijani descent from Iran. Googoosh's real name is Faegheh Atashin. In the 1960s and 70s, she was as popular in Iran as Elvis or the Beatles were in other parts of the world. When the Islamic Revolution took place in Iran in 1979, women were no longer allowed to perform in public. Contrary to what many expected, Googoosh did not leave Tehran like many other performers who left for Los Angeles, but rather she stayed and sacrificed her musical career. But her fans did not forget her.
