Greek singer-songwriter Dionysis Savvopoulos, known for his poetic lyrics on politics and society, has died. He was 80. A prominent figure on the Greek cultural and intellectual scene, Savvopoulos died Tuesday night, his family said. Savvopoulos rose to prominence in the 1960s, gaining national fame with his subtly revolutionary songs during the 1967-1974 military dictatorship. He was briefly imprisoned by the junta, and his songs quickly became anthems of resistance for youths and dissidents in Greece.
