now, here is the conclusion. 

I will begin part II by writing about the in-famous night that I like to refer to as the 'start' of Esengul's last 20 days, prior to the car crash.  

        Scene from her single movie

It was approximately 11:00 PM on March 30, 1979, and she was performing at 'Semiramis Gazinosu', which translates to English to mean, 'Semiramis Bar'.  A man with connections to the Mafia named Ismail Hacısuleymanoglu, who went by the name "Oflu İsmail", which translates to English to mean "Hurting Ismail" was seating at a table drinking.   While 'Esengul' was performing a song, 'Oflu Ismail' stands up and yells to the singer to say 'Taht Kurmussun Kalbime parcasini bana oku!', again, a translation is required, he yells out to say "Sing me the song 'your on the throne of my heart'". 

I have attached a link of this song below, please take time to listen to this heartbreaking, emotional masterpiece of a song from late 1970's.

        Number 1 singer from the mid 1970s

Esengul, stops singing and the band stopped playing as well since an argument irrupted at the corner of 'Semiramis Bar'.   We are then shocked to learn that the owner of the Bar 'Akbulut Karaoglu' and lead waiter 'Hasan Yolal' are shot and killed, while numerous people are injured.   

'Esengul' is able to get away unharmed.  

'Oflu Ismail' also gets away.   

Now, begins the count down to April 18, 1979.  

All of the events in 'Esengul's' life are unfortunately coming to a crashing end.  

Number 1, the Mafia connected rival boyfriends are trying to win her love, 

Number 2, 'Oflu Ismail' is no-where to be found, and wants vengeance for her since she did not sing the song, he requested, and caused the fight/killings,

Number 3, the 'Police' is questioning her of the shooting, and finally,

Number 4, the Mafia bosses are getting nervous that 'Esengul'' might speak to the Police about them regarding other criminal events that she surely would have witnessed as a lover.   

         Beutiful 

April 18, 1979, 'Esengul' and her current lover 'Faruk Ozfıratlı' were driving in his car to drop her off at her residence, when the car could not 'break/stop' and hit a wall at very high speed.   We soon learn that the vehicles 'break cables' were cut, and therefore it could not negotiate a turn in the road, and the shocking crash was the result.  

'Esengul' died at the very young age of 24.  

No person was arrested and charged for her death.  

On April 18, 2014, it will be the 35 year anniversary of her untimely death.  

Rest in Peace. Esen (Esengul) Agan. 

Sincerely,

Ben

The Life of Esengul, Part I

The Life of Esengul, Part I 

I would like to write about one of my favourite singers 'beautiful' life, that ended 'tragically', as a II part series.  

Here is part I.  

Her real name was 'Esen Agan' and she was born on September 24, 1954, in Istanbul, Turkey.  

She 'needlessly' passed away at the age of 24, on April 18, 1979, from a car accident, in the neighbourhood of Atakoy, Istanbul, Turkey. 

She was one of the most popular singers of this country from the years of 1971 to 1979.  

Her mother was 'Piraye Agan' and she was educated as a Consortium Musician and therefore Mrs Agan, thought her daughter about music and singer at a very young age.  

After a lengthy education from her mother, Esen received formal music lessons from the following gentlemans of Mr Cavit Deringol, Irfan Ozbakir and Abdullah Nail. 

It was Mr Abdullah Nail who gave her the nick-name "Esengül" at a very young age of 15.  The name does not have a very clear translation to English, however I will elaborate on this further, to make readers understand how the beautiful name matches the voice and the personality. 

'Esen' translates to mean 'Blowing' or Waving'. 

While, 'Gul' translates to mean 'Flower'.  

Therefore, the name roughly translates as 'Blowing-Flower'. 

'Esengul' entered her first singing contest, and won it with overwhelming support.  Afterwards, she released her first single titled 'Askimi Supurmusler', which translates to English to mean, 'my love is swept away'.  I tried to attach a link of this song, unfortunately it does not exist on the World Wide Web, at this time.  

After the 'hit' song, she became a popular singer at a very young age, and travelled to the large cities in Turkey.  

She was a beautiful woman, I have always made the comparison that 'Esengul' had the aura of 'Marilyn Munroe', and I will go as far as to say, 'Esengul' was more talented then Miss Monroe.  

Esengul, married Orhan Akcinar prior to becoming popular at a tender age of 17.  However, this marriage only lasted for 3 months, and the conclusion was a divorce at 'Istanbul Law Courts'.  

Afterwards, she married a popular singer from the 1970s named Adnan Senses.  This relationship lasted longer then her first marriage, however it was not her 'forever love'.  Therefore, these two separated after a year.  

After her second breakup, Esengul started to get the attention and desire of the 'Mafia' bosses of Istanbul.  She unfortunately, was not in the habit of using 'discretion' while dating these frightening and troubled men, and this caused friction and standoffs by the men, over the beautiful young woman. 

From her 'relationships' with the 'Mafia' men, she began to be followed by Police of Istanbul to try and use her as an informative, for the mafia men.  This all was unfolding while she was a 'Fan-Favorite', and kept creating number 1 singles in the mid to late 1970s.  

I will continue with part II, another day.  

Thank you.  

Hesaplasmadan Kaybolan Esengul

Hesaplasmadan Kaybolan Esengul

Bugunku hikaye 'Oflu Ismail ve Esengul' baslikli hikayemin devamidir.  Lutfen bu yazimi, asagidaki 'link'e basip okuyabilirsiniz.  

         Guzel Esengul

Lutfen, bir onceki hikayemi okumadiysaniz, okuyunuz ve sonra yeni bastan burda bulusalim.  

Hatirlama yapmakta fayda var: 

'Oflu Ismail' lakapli insan, 1960 ile 1970 yillari aradinda yeraltı dunyasının kabadayılarındandi.  Bir anda, herkezin 'Oflu Ismail' ismini duyar olmasinin sebebini, 1979 yılının Mart ayında, Semiramis Gazinosu'nda 'Assolist' Esengul'e hakaret yapmakla kalmadi, ve sonra o tahlihsiz aksam, iki insani oldurdu.  

O korkunc aksamdan tam 20 gun sonra Assolist Esengul oldu. 

Anlatiyim. 

Gercek adi Esen Agam olarak dunyaya gelen bu guzel kadinin sonu cok aci oldu.  

Zengin isadami olan Faruk Ozfiratli'nin Esengul'u evine getirirken, bir gece, araba kazasindan ikiside oldu.  

Kazanın bir mafya hesaplasması oldugu bilinmektedir.  

         The look that says 'why me...

Esengul 'mafya' ile iliskisi olan bir guzel kadindi ve bu mafya babalarinin 'kiskancligindan' ve 'gururgundan' 'kurban' edildi.  

Aci, ama gercek hikaye.  

Bir sonraki yazimda, Esengul'un hayatini 'ingilizce' yazmaya calisacagim.  

Saygilarimla, 

Ben
