Vicky Moscholiou (May 17, 1943 - August 16, 2005) was one of the most important Greek singers. She was born in Metaxourgeio (Athens). She started her career at Easter in 1962 at «Troia» of Cheilas next to Grigoris Bithikotsis and Duchess (Doukissa). It was established in 1964 by singing the «The Moon Has Disappeared» by Stavros Xarchakos in the film production «Lola». The following year, the song «One star falls and falls» became a great success, continuing with collaborations with, among others, George Zambetas, Giorgos Katsaros, Akis Panos, Mikis Theodorakis, Stavros Xarhakos, Moutsis, Tsitsanis, Mimis Plessas, Yannis Spanos, Stavros Kougioumtzis, Takis Mousafiris, Lakis Papadopoulos, Spyros Papavassiliou, Lucianos Kilaidonis, Giorgos Hatzinasios, Apostolos Kaldaras, Yannis Markopoulos, Zorz Moustaki, Lavrentis Macheritsas Stamatis Kraounakis, but also with lyricists such as Manos Eleftherios, Lefteris Papadopoulos, Lina Nikolakopoulou, Nikos Gatsos, Dimitris Christodoulou, Charalambos Vasiliadis. Moscholiou's voice constituted and is one of the most characteristic female Greek voices of modern Greek music. It was characterized as a «Dorian» voice, meaning a deep Greek voice, «outspoken», with great physical abilities. This was the reason why many called her «the female Bithikotsis». But, like every great artist, Moscholiou was artistically enforced because of the endless uniqueness of her performances, a uniqueness that made composers like Mikis Theodorakis characterize her voice as a «boulder». He faithfully served the folk and art space, singing pieces of different aesthetics, proving that they were artists of total content. More specifically, Moscholiou as a singer-songwriter was alto-mezzo, the heavier female voice, clearly in her popular version. It held a great deal of voice, heavy sound and of course a melancholy ruddy tongue that was her trademark, as it is impossible for listeners not to understand who sings from the very first word. Her voice's capabilities include also her powerful vibrato, which dramatized her performances and led to a unique vocal force enforcement, her amazing shooting, which gave her the ability to easily interpret folk songs or songs with Jazz-blues influences. The most unmistakable element in all of her natural musical instruments was unusual power and instinctive emotion. The power of Moscholiou's voice was unsurpassed and in combination with her bass voice, the performer could clearly sound stronger than a soprano in a space. A characteristic feature of this vocal feature is her performance in the song «Alitis» [Vagabond], in which Moscholiou, whenever she sang it live, put down the microphone, lowered the orchestra and filled the space with her imposing voice. Sentiment was the second great driving force of her body. With the clear articulation of the words, consonants and vowels together, the performer managed to dramatize and touch psychologically, knowing and not what she is stating-interpreting. This was and is a key feature of her interpretative and hypocritical talent. The plenitude of the importance of her voice was marked by her unprecedented interpretation.
