''Elliniki Diskografia 1950–2009'' (''Greek Discography 1950–2009'')〕 ==Early life== She was born Kyriaki Papadopoulou (Κυριακή Παπαδοπούλου), in the city of Thessaloniki in northern Greece. Her parents were Greek refugees from Constantinople. She is the fourth and last child of a large family, which despite its poverty, was rich in love and in artistic vein. The whole family gathered around the turntable and sang, while her father tried to teach children the steps of the waltz and the tango. From four years singing on the radio broadcast in "Pediki Ora ''(Child Time)''" and later did ads for shops "Melka" in Thessaloniki, pushing the first pocket money. She participated in many performances of children's theater.〔Compilation album ''Marinella (Mia Agkalia Tragoudia)'' (Booklet), Minos EMI (Greece): 5807532, 2003〕 At age 15, she gave up her budding career to finish school, but by seventeen, her passion for the theater is stirring and she joins the artistic group of Mary Laurent, a "mpoulouki" (so called then the singer troupes that traveled Greece end-to-end for performances) and plays small roles. One day, the lead singer fell sick and sought Marinella as a replacement, who was willing to take the singer's place. At that moment, the Greek music world found one of its best representatives. Marinella became the lead singer of the troupe. She later joined the Military Theater because the remuneration was better. At the same time she started her career as a singer at the "Panorama" center of Thessaloniki, where Tolis Harmas coined the name "Marinella" for her, inspired by his song.〔Compilation album ''Ta Logia Ine Peritta – 50 Chronia Tragoudi'' (Booklet), Marinella, PolyGram Greece: 1715636, 2006〕 She released her first song in 1957, "Nitsa, Elenitsa ''(Little Helen)''". Her early career was marked by her collaboration with singer Stelios Kazantzidis. Together they managed to become the greatest duet of Greece, unsurpassed until today. Starting at the night club "Luxembourg" in Thessaloniki where they enjoyed great success, they later moved to Athens, the capital, where they became widely known. They sang pieces of Mikis Theodorakis, Manos Hadjidakis, Vassilis Tsitsanis, Giorgos Mitsakis, Giorgos Zambetas, Apostolos Kaldaras, Theodoros Derveniotis, Stavros Xarchakos, Christos Leontis, whom are considered the best composers of the era. Marinella married Stelios Kazantzidis on 7 May 1964 and they toured together in Germany and the United States. They divorced in September 1966.
