She left life at the age of 100 and the Minister of Culture expressed her sorrow. In her statement she points out that a folk singer deserved the love of the public, and of different generations. Lena Mendoni said of Kate Grey: “The loss of Kate Grey closes an entire era for the Greek song. An interpreter with special talent, Kate Grey deleted a long career in Greek folk song, in which she left an indelible imprint.” CORVERSE “He worked for decades with the most prominent composers and songwriters of every era, highlighting their creations to beloved songs, which remain today reference points. Kate Grey, has been a genuine popular voice, without seeking and indulgence, that has earned the love of the public, and indeed of different generations and is rightly ranked among the timeless greatest artists of its kind. To her family and friends I extend sincere condolences.” The legendary singer, who left her last breath in her home, had many health problems in recent times, after the stroke she had suffered last October. Her life has been a novel. From the difficult childhood and teenage years, the two marriages and the two children, but also her famous lovers, Katie Grey’s life could well be filmed. And it almost happened. In 1995 Costas Ferris signed a contract with ANT1 to transfer her legendary life to the small screen. However, it was not completed, as the budget cost did not arrive for all 26 episodes that had been signed. Filming took place in Greece, Turkey and Egypt, while the song of the titles “I beat you to life”, performed by Giannis Parios, never came out in discography.
