Vicky Moscholiou is born on May 23 in Metaxourgio, Athens

Vicky Moscholiou (1943-2005) was one of the greatest Greek performers with a significant repertoire and a huge contribution to the Greek culture and the history of lyrical (entechno) and urban folk (laiko) song. She started her career during the Easter of 1962 in "Triana of Cheilas" and was established in 1964 when she sang Stavros Xarchakos' "The Moon is Lost" in the film "Lola".

Her composure, dignity, and natural talent paved her brilliant and admirable career. She collaborated with the greatest Greek composers, poets, and lyricists. She was the first Greek singer to give concerts in Cyprus and one of the first performers to sing in a "boite" in Plaka in the early 1970s. Throughout her career, she held concerts in ancient theatres and stadiums in Greece and abroad.

She sang in the Carnegie Hall in New York, in London at the Royal Albert Hall, in Paris at the Olympia Hall, in Jordan at the Royal Palace, and all over the world. Manos Hatzidakis described her voice as "the cello of Greek music", and Giorgos Zambetas always spoke with admiration about the "great Vickara". "I am very proud that she honored me by performing my best song, Τhe marquee," said Manos Eleftheriou. At the same time, Mikis Theodorakis called her "a singer resembling an ancient Doric boulder"

Giannis Tsarouchis had said that "Vicky Moscholiou is the Kotopouli of Greek song.” Lefteris Papadopoulos noted that "the Greek song owes its voice to her," and Giannis Markopoulos said, "Vicky Moscholiou is gifted with natural talent". To honor her, the Greek Post issued a series of stamps with her portrait. In 1967 she married legendary football player Mimis Domazos. On August 16, 2005, Vicky Moscholiou died from cancer at the age of 62
