In 1982, Vangelis' "Chariots of Fire" was on everyone's playlist when it hit number one on the Billboard charts. Where was the artist Vangelis from?

The musician who wrote "Chariots of Fire" was born Evángelos Odysséas Papathanassíou (you can see why he went with "Vangelis") in Agria, Greece. He was best-known by far for his number one hit from 1982, but he also wrote the scores to the films Blade Runner, Missing, and Antarctica , among others.
