Küheylan, published in February 1973, was the first work to cause Manço's name to rise to the right. Words such as Aslıhan, Neslihan, and let's get back to our essence in the piece were perceived as longing for Central Asia. This record was followed by Hey Koca Topçu / Genç Osman, which was released in August 1973 and completed at the end of Manço's military service.
