Melina Merkouri is one of Greece's most popular singers who came from a powerful political family in Greece and at one point she was quite involved in politics. She is best known for her role in the movie "Never on Sunday" which she received many awards for. This song, titled πάμε μια βόλτα στο φεγγάρι which means lets take a walk on the moon is one of her classics. The lyrics essentially translate to a love song. She is without someone that she loves and she is calling for him to take a stroll with her on the moon.

Melina is an amazing woman who was not only an actress and singer but a formidable political participant in Greece. She was involved with PASOK from the start and as Cultural and Sports Minister, achieved many successes and fought hard for the return of the Parthenon Marbles. She also introduced free access to museums and archaeological sites for Greek citizens (I remember not paying when I was young) but unfortunately this hasn't lasted until today.

This movie is a classic, and I dance the dance from the movie whenever I hear the "Never on a Sunday" song played. Can't help myself!
