'''Yiannis Poulopoulos''' is a [[Greece|Greek]] singer.

Poulopoulos was born on [[June 27]], [[1942]], in [[Kardamyli]], [[Messenia prefecture]] in the [[Peloponnese]] but grew up in [[Peristeri]], [[Athens]].

He started singing in [[1963]] but struggled as a singer for several years before he was established. In the meantime, he worked as a builder and a painter and also played football for local clubs.

By [[1965]] Poulopoulos was singing songs by [[Mikis Theodorakis]], [[Manos Loizos]], [[Stavros Kouyioumtzis]] and had his first big hit "Μη μου θυμώνεις μάτια μου" (Don't get angry, my love).

In the late [[1960s]], Poulopoulos was established as a singer and sang in musicals. In [[1969]] he recorded the first golden record in Greek musical history: "Ο Δρόμος" (The Path) in collaboration with lyricist [[Lefteris Papadopoulos]] and composer [[Mimis Plessas (composer)|Mimis Plessas]].

In the early [[1970s]], Poulopoulos sang poems by Pablo Neruda and Federico Garcia Lorca that had been made into songs. His songs became a success as the Greek people found in them an expression of their anti-dictatorial feelings, at a time when no other expression was permitted.

Poulopoulos has continued recording and appearing in clubs and boites. He has 11 golden hits to his credit, three of which became platinum. His music has ranged from [[Laika]] to [[Elafro]] to [[Neo Kyma]] and even [[Rebetiko]] style.
