The song is remembered for its poetic lyrics and Duru's powerful delivery, which made her a frequent presence on Turkish television during its release year.
While "Çek Halatı Gönlüm" is a classic in its own right, Duru gained massive international recognition decades later when another of her tracks, "Ben Sana Vurgunum" (1978), was sampled by The Weeknd for his hit song "Often". Duru has expressed appreciation for this modern revival, noting that "music has no borders". Artistic Legacy Nukhet Duru Cek Halati Gonlum
