Erkin Koray was born in Istanbul in 1941. After having gone to Hamburg, Germany in 1965, he returned to Turkey in 1966, where he then founded a quartet, namely “Erkin Koray Dörtlüsü”.
Published in 1967, the pieces to be found on a 45er vinyl, namely “Kızları da Alın Askere” on one side and “Aşk Oyunu" on the other, led to Erkin Koray achieving an important success. Especially the piece “Kızları da Alın Askere” played a vital role in Erkin Koray becoming known among a wider mass of people. In 1968, he participated in the “Golden Microphone” competition, hosted by the newspaper “Hürriyet”. Erkin Koray’s songs "Meçhul" and "Çiçek Dağı”, which took 4th place in that competition, were later on released by a record company, ultimately reaching a large circulation of 800 000 pieces. By the end of the 1960s, this first important achievement was followed by successive tracks, such as "Anma Arkadaş", "Hop Hop Gelsin", "Sana Bir Şeyler Olmuş" and "Seni Her Gördüğümde", all reaching great acclaim.
Together with the band “ Yeraltı Dörtlüsü”, a name which translates into “Underground Quartet”, founded in 1969, he became a pioneer of the underground music movement in Turkey. By the early 1970s, Koray had gained quite an extensive audience in Turkey and his distinctive music line had become crystal clear. Koray, who founded the bands “Erkin Koray Süper Grup” in 1971 and “Ter” in 1972, wrote many pieces which ended up on top of Turkey’s music chart lists between 1970 and 1974. "İlahi Morluk", "Aşka İnanmıyorum", "Mesafeler", "Züleyha", "Silinmeyen Hatıralar", 1974’s "Şaşkın" and "Fesuphanallah" are among the works from this period.
Erkin Koray, resembling an innovative, synthesizing and experimental music line; extraordinary lyrics, distinctive vocal style, long hair, original attire – these are just a few of the many reasons why he was excluded by TRT, the Turkish Radio and Television Corporation, which had been holding the broadcasting monopoly. Until recently, almost none of his works had been approved for publication by TRT. This situation continued until the eventual rise of private broadcasters in Turkey and has resulted in Koray having a limited audience.
