If so, is it true that after Christos won, Stelios went on TV and said that Christos was working with the Jews at Minos-EMI to erase all traces of laika and Kazantzidis from Greece?
That is the story that a Greek composer told me on Facebook.

First of all, it's Nikolopoulos and not Christos, since he's not that great for being referred in a conversation with the use of his first name.
And of course what composer told you on fb is accurate.
Kazandjidis had a peculiar character and you have also to add the fact that he was uneducated; so you can't blame his luck of delicacy and vision.
In fact you have to face such a statement under the prism of a "complaining diva" situation to somehow understand it.

You will never find that life for which you are looking.
When the gods created man they allotted to him death,
but life they retained in their own keeping"

His father was tortured to death by the rightists in 1944 ... that is why he had to go to work young. What happened to his father is a terrible thing.
