Manos Loïzos (Μάνος Λοΐζος, also transliterated as Loizos and Loisos, October 22, 1937 in Alexandria, Egypt – September 17, 1982 in Moscow, Soviet Union) was one of the most important Greek music composers, yet nearly unknown outside Greece.
He composed many well-known Greek songs and has co-operated with various important composers, singers and lyricists like Mikis Theodorakis, Haris Alexiou, George Dalaras, Vassilis Papakonstantinou, Christos Leontis, Fondas Ladis, Yannis Negrepontis, Manolis Rassoulis, Giannis Kalatzis, Nazim Hikmet and many others. His best known co-operation was with his very personal friend, lyricist Lefteris Papadopoulos who wrote the lyrics of many of Loizos' most successful hits.
