I just got Waldemar Matuska’s CD on iTunes and I am in heaven! He is definitely one of my favorite singers of all time! He is very animated which makes all the difference in the world.
Watch the video below where he sings with Hana Hegerova and Karel Gott (he studied opera) and you will know what I mean (they are also AMAZING).
Here is a little about him(from Wikipedia):
Waldemar Matuška was born in Košice, Slovak Republic, former Czechoslovakia, and spent his whole childhood in Prague. His mother was a singer in the Vienna operetta theatres. He worked as a glassmaker and performed on various musical instruments with many different bands. In 1960 he recorded his first song Suvenýr (Souvenir). Later he became an actor in the theatre Semafor. On the stage he performed with Karel Štědrý, Jiří Suchý and, starting in 1961, with Eva Pilarová. He won the Zlatý Slavík (Golden Nightingale) music poll twice, in 1962 and 1967, and placed second several times.
As his popularity grew he started acting in movies and writing songs for movies. Waldemar and Eva Pilarová left Semafor and joined the ensemble of the theatre Rokoko. But Pilarová soon returned to Semafor, and Matuška began singing with Helena Vondráčková, Marta Kubišová, Jitka Zelenková and others. He participated in other projects besides the theatre, mainly duets with Hana Hegerová and Karel Gott.
ENJOY listening to one of my favorite songs,Kdyby tisíc klarinetu
