Poly Panou, born Polytimi Koliopanou in 1940 in Athens, Greece, was a Greek folk singer who performed Laïkó and Rembetiko. She began her career in the late 1950s, initially performing in the Rembetiko style. Her breakthrough came when she adopted the stage name Poly Panou, given to her by singer Grigoris Bithikotsis. Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, Panou collaborated with notable Laïka composers such as Vasilis Tsitsanis and Giannis Papaioannou. In 1966, she founded her own record label and performed in Paris three years later. Notable albums include Polla Zitas (1980), Ti Sou 'Kana Kai Pineis (2008), and Ta Hastoukia Tis Zois (2009). She passed away in 2013 in Athens.
