Mountain is my pain - Kaiti Gray
Another fine song and performance by another wonderful singer. There is an extended conversation between two patrons, who don't seem to be particularly enamored with one another. I like to think that they are industrial spies with conflicting views of the importance of certain machine parts.*
From the Movie "With Sweat and Tears"
I had never heard of Kaiti Gray whose real name was Athanasia Gizili, but apparently she was quite the star in Greece and internationally. According to Google's translation of her Greek Wikipedia page, during the 1960's she was paid more per night than any other Greek singer and she hung out with the jet set including Elvis Presley, Jimi Hendrix, Rita Hayworth, Maria Callas, Stavros Niarchos and Aristotle Onassis.
The song "Mountain is my Pain" seems to be about a mother's grief for her son who ended up being exonerated. It has the Ira Louvin-esque line "like a true flower I will wither in pain" (this comes from a Google Translate of this set of lyrics).
