He had some success, but shifted his focus to his daughter, Vicky, who had been singing from a very early age and turned out to be the real treasure.

Leandros composed and produced for many other artists such as Julio Iglesias, Demis Roussos, Nana Mouskouri, Jairo, among others.

Under his pseudonym Mario Panas he was the co-composer (together with Klaus Munro) of Après toi, the winning title of the 1972 Eurovision Song Contest, which Vicky Leandros performed for Luxembourg.
