*İbrahim Özgür flagicon|Turkey (1905-1959) was dubbed "The King of Turkish Tango" for his singing and composition, after an earlier successful career injazz . He began tango recordings in 1938. His nostalgic, "velvet" voice was well-suited for his mournful songs, haunted by his unrequited love for an Indian princess he met during his grand tour of Asia in the 1930s. His most famous such song, "Mavi Kelebek" ("Blue Butterfly"), won him a legion of female fans. Özgür was the first male tango singer to rise to prominence in Turkey, where the tango tradition had been dominated by women.
