Vicky Moscholiou

[1] Manos Hatzidakis described her voice as "the cello of Greek music", while Mikis Theodorakis called her "a singer resembling an ancient Doric boulder".

Vicky (Vasiliki) Moscholiou was born on 23 May 1943 in Metaxourgeio, a poor working-class district of Athens, and grew up in the difficult post-war years.

With whatever money they had collected they bought an off-plan plot of land, in Agia Varvara in Egaleo, and built themselves a makeshift arbitrary structure where they lived.

The club's big names were Grigoris Bithikotsis and Dukissa, while Moscholiou, along with other girls, sat on the stage from nine o'clock, singing and clapping along to keep the customers entertained.

[5] She rose to fame in 1964 with Stavros Xarhakos' song "Hathike to feggari" (The Moon is Lost), which was composed for the movie Lola.

In 2008, following a public dispute between Moscholiou's two daughters, the villa she lived in Thrakomakedones was sold fully furnished to the wealthy goldsmith Panagiotis Stylianoudis and his spouse Villy Kamarinopoulou.
