About Βίκυ Μοσχολιού

Vicky Moscholiou (Greek: Βίκυ Μοσχολιού, IPA: [ˈviˑci ˌmo̞sxo̞ˈʎuˑ], 17 May 1943 – 16 August 2005); born in Metaxourgeio, Athens, she was a popular Greek singer. Her career began in the Easter of 1962 on the stage of Triana of Cheilas, at the side of Grigoris Bithikotsis and Doukissa. She rose to fame in 1964 with Stavros Xarhakos' song "'Hathike to feggari" (The Moon is Lost) composed for the movie Lola. She continued with collaborations with Giorgos Zambetas, Manos Eleutheriou, Giorgos Katsaros, Akis Panou, and Loukianos Kilaidonis, among other well-known composers and songwriters. Songs she is famous for include "Paei, paei", "Aliti", "Pou pas choris agapi", "Nautis bgike sti steria", "Ta deilina", "Oi metanastes", "Anthropoi monachoi", and many more. Two of her hits gave their names to night clubs in Athens, "Deilina" (Afternoons) and "Ximeromata" (Daybreaks). She was one of the first in Greece to sing both in night clubs and concerts, and she has also sung in the royal courts of Greece, Persia and Jordan. She was also one of the first entertainers to sing in aid of Cyprus. In 1967 she married the soccer (European: Football) legend Mimis Domazos and had two daughters, although later they divorced. She died in Athens in 2005 following a two-year battle with cancer, leaving behind truly significant cultural achievements.
