History

Means another turning point. Hayati starts also working as a manager, among others for Cornelis Vreeswijk.

A new chapter in Hayati´s life starts when he opens the night-club “Hayati´s Café”. It becomes a success overnight and a waterhole for Hayati’s showbusiness friends. The singer does of course perform on special occasions.

Returning home after a ten-week tour in England Hayati stars in a show at Berns and also records his first LP “Ha det så kul”.

Hayati records a Swedish cover of Bobby Darin´s composition “Things” or “Sån´t”, that makes it up to number two on the “Svensktoppen” hitlist and stays there for 11 weeks.

Hayati makes his first recording in Swedish. “When you wish upon a star” or “Ser du stjärnan I det blå”.

Hayati starts singing with Carl-Henrik Norin, the Swedish saxophone-legend, and his band.

Hayati´s recording of “Secretamente” climbs to number two of the Turkish “Top Ten” and stays there for 10 weeks.

A Swedish manager visiting Istanbul discovers Hayati and offers him a three-month tour of Sweden, a tour that lasts until today.
