Biography
Yannis Vogiatzis (Athens, 20 December 1934 – 15 May 2023) was a Greek singer who was active in theatre, cinema and radio. He began his singing career at Joseph Korinthiou's talent shows at the Pagrati Grove. He was one of the most popular names of the 1960s. From 1958 to 1962 he was the official singer of the palaces. In 1970 he underwent surgery for polyps and after three years he stopped singing. He continued singing since 1978. He was awarded 1st prize twice at the Thessaloniki Greek Song Festival, in 1963 with the song "A Bird Flew" (by Kostas Klavvas and Alexis Alexopoulos) and in 1970 with the song "My Brothers, Rogues, Birds" (by Tolis Voskopoulos and Ilias Lymberopoulos). In 1966 he sang "Omorfi Poli" at the Park Theater on Alexandra Avenue, in the performance of the same name (lyrics: Akos Daskalopoulos, music: Mikis Theodorakis).
