On September 4, 1934, the People's Artist of the RSFSR Eduard Gil was born. He started with academic vocals, but later was inspired by the work of Claudia Shulzhenko and began to engage in pop singing. Gil’s repertoire included a variety of compositions: hits (“I’m walking around Moscow”, “If only guys of the whole earth”), songs of the war years (“At an unnamed height”, “Ballad of a soldier”), lyric compositions (“Moscow Nights” , "Old Maple"). In 2010, Eduard Gil gained worldwide popularity thanks to the video where he performs the vocalization “I am very happy, because I am finally returning home”: foreign Internet users called him “Mr. Trololo”. The artist died in 2012 after a stroke.
