The whole project of covers of European light songs in Greek was started by Minos label, with Yannis Parios being the main “vehicle” in this direction being. Parios, who was to become the leading figure of sentimental song, had not yet made the “leap” that would permanently establish him at the top, and the company thought that this could be achieved if they gave him to sing a foreign tune with Greek lyrics. Thus, in 1975, the first “experiment” takes place with “El bimbo”, an orchestral dance piece, which at that time was a hit all over the world. The success was unprecedented, also thanks to the Greek lyrics by Pythagoras.
