Googoosh is one of the most popular and richest Pop Singer who was born on May 5, 1950 in Tehran, Tehran Province, Iran. Iranian pop actress and singer who gained notoriety in the 1960s and 70s due to her diverse songs and her award-winning performances in films such as the 1973 film “Bita.” She was regarded as a rebel because of her extravagant fashion style in the traditional Iranian style.

She achieved the pinnacle of her fame and success towards the end of the 1970s. In the 1970s, Googoosh was widely emulated by Iranian women, as they copied her clothing (miniskirts) and her short haircut (known as the “Googooshy”). Following the Iranian Revolution in 1979, she remained in Tehran until 2000 and did not perform again due to the ban on female singers. Younger generations of Iranians have rediscovered her music via bootleg recordings. After leaving Iran in 2000, she performed a total of 27 concerts in European and North American countries in that year. Recent projects include a new collaboration with Iranian singer-songwriter Hassan Shamaizadeh from her 2012 album Ejaz, as well as serving as head judge and head of academy for the popular reality show Googoosh Music Academy broadcast on London-based satellite channel Manoto 1.
