Greek Songs are the Saddest

One of the first Greek songs I learnt in the '60s was "To Parapono (Oute ena efcharisto)", as sung by actress Jenny Karezi in the 1963 film "Ta Kokkina Fanaria" (The Red Lanterns). A Stavros Xarhakos composition, accompanied by acoustic guitar, I still find the lyric (written by Lefteris Papadopoulos) and Karezi's sensitive dramatic interpretation, unforgettable.

"You didn't even give me a thank-you".
