In the 1960's the only known Greek female singers in the west were probably Nana Moskouri and Vicky Leandros ( represented Belgium I believe in the 1970's)

I have very recently learnt that ( to me and many Greek seamen ) the very best Greek female singer - Vicky Mouschouliou _ ( variations = Bhkh Moyschoylioy - biku Mosholiou - Viki Mosholiou et al) passed away last August.

I feel as gutted now as I did when my other songstress - the Portuguese - Queen of Fado - Amalia Rodrigues - took her talents to higher places.

Amalia's records and videos have been readily available - but Vicky - Viki etc etc ------ I have even had problems trying to find on the net.

You guys on the US side of the pond must know or have Greek friends and aquaintances to get me at least a "Discography " of this lovely lovely lady. We were - to the last man - totally besotted and in love with this Greek Goddess of Song

Now in my 60's - I will never forget sailing under those tropical velvet sparkling skies - with LP's etc - ( the players laid on foam rubber to avoid vibration ) - playing in the back ground.

Yes Nana Mouskouri was very popular in Europe US and the rest but to us lonely sailors - the "voice" was that of BHKH (another variant).

If it helps she was married to a top Greek football ( soccer) player.

Even on records - you felt she was singing only to you.

Come on you lads and lasses - see if you can tell an old mariner where I can get hold of her Music

Pretty - pretty - pretty P L E A S E! :D

Hi Jonegy,
This is Martin from Germany and I share your opinion about V.M. She is one of my alltimes favorite singers. I have all her cd`s and also many records and I saw her in concert a few years ago in Athens. She is (sorry was) wonderful. You may find a lot of her cd`s on this page:

MUSICAL - Singer : VIKI
MOSHOLIOU (http://www.musical.gr/disc_search.scr?gui_language=2&a_id=1058&ar_co=1)

I have no discography but if you have any questions ask me.

Many thanks lads - somehow I kept getting stuck on Greek language sites and I haven't got greek alphabet on my PC so it comes out garbled.

By the way Martin - I think I'll have a closer look at that site and see if there are any cd's of Vicky Leandros singing in greek - some of the lads brought the records from Greece and I was impressed - though didn't like her singing in english or other languages. ( I'm funny like that - I only like Gloria Estefan singing in Spanish/Castilliano -- Shakira too)

Thanks again

I thought you prefer Vicky Mosholiou, but now you writing of Vicki Leandros? The difference between these both singers is like moon to sun. Vicky Leandros is just a pop singer and nothing more.

Hello, Better late than never I would say... Vicky Moscholiou was very popular in Greece. Maybe you have found some CD's in the meantime, otherwise... here is a link to a box with 4 CD's

Another shop can be visited via HEY! VICKY LEANDROS - Official homepage (http://www.vickyleandros.com)

They have a double CD of Vicky Moschouliou (Search via "Moscholiou")

Hope this helped... even though about 1 years after your posting

Kind regards,
