Vicky Moscholiou (Greek: Βίκυ Μοσχολιού) was a prominent Greek singer whose voice captivated audiences from the 1960s until her passing in 2005. Born in Metaxourgeio, Athens, on May 23, 1943, Moscholiou became one of the most beloved voices in the Greek music world, with a career spanning over four decades. She was particularly known for her emotive delivery of laika and entechna songs – styles deeply rooted in Greek musical traditions, which often reflect on life's emotional journey such as love, loss, and social issues.
Throughout her illustrious career, Moscholiou worked with some of the greatest Greek composers and lyricists, including Mikis Theodorakis, Manos Loizos, and Giorgos Zambetas. Her strong, distinctive voice and passionate performances made classics out of songs like "Ta Pedia Tou Pirea" (The Children of Piraeus) and "Den Thelo Pia Na Xanarthis" (I Don't Want You to Come Back). Her extensive discography, from which the albums "Anthologia (58 Megales Ermineies 1971-1992)", "Zontani Ihografisi Sto Lykavitto", and "Ta Erotika" are mere highlights, attest to her versatility as an artist and her enduring legacy in the realm of Greek music.
