[edit] NPOV and clarity edit

This article was written by someone with an imperfect command of English and an inability to be objective about the subject, and I've re-written it for clarity and neutral point of view. It is far from perfect, but certainly more encyclopedic than it was. Some notes on changes that I made:

  • I removed the following sentence, because I did not understand it: In Tehran, the revolutionary court accused her to promore Royal music ! and annouced she should present herselfe to the court.
  • I re-sized the photo of Hayedeh's gravestone. I'm not sure that this article merits two pictures, and Hayedeh's gravestone itself is not notable (unlike say, Elvis Presley's gravesite, or the Taj Mahal, but I'm not entirely opposed to leaving it in. That said, the photo was not a thumbnail before, and I've resized it to a much more appropriate 200 pixels.
  • I've also removed "Pejman Akbarzadeh's archive" as a reference as that is not a verifiable source of information, assuming that it is someone's personal trove of information and not a public library collection.

User:Pejman is also using Persia to refer to the nation of Iran. It's not worth edit-warring over, but my understanding is that Persians are an ethnic group residing in Iran, and Persia is the more appropriate name for the ancient empire and not the modern-day nation. If Pejman insists on using Persia, I don't think it's too big of a deal. Fernando Rizo T/C 20:13, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Iran's Beloved Hayedeh

She was one of Iran's best female vocalists. Hayedeh (born Masoumeh Dadeh-Bala) and her sister Mahasti (born Khadijeh Dadeh-Bala) truly had a great impact on Iranian pop music, combining elements of traditional Persian and Western-influenced rhythms. Hayedeh's beautiful voice would resonate throughout an entire auditorium, even without microphones and acoustics, and her voice had the kind of versatility that would easily make the transition from classical Persian music, to Iranian pop, a fusion of traditional Persian and Western music. She is truly missed, and will be remembered for the great singer she was.
