Jamais le dimanche
In 1958, Hatzidakis met Nana Mouskouri, his first "ideal interpreter", a skilled vocalist who shaped the sounds of his music. It was 1960 that brought him international success, as his song "Never on Sunday" ("Τα παιδιά του Πειραιά"), from Jules Dassin's film "Never on Sunday" (Ποτέ την Κυριακή), won him an Academy Award and became a worldwide hit.
