Ivo Robić

Ivo Robić (born January 29, 1923 in Garešnica, former Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, later Yugoslavia, died March 9, 2000 in Rijeka, Republic of Croatia) was an internationally acclaimed Croatian singer and songwriter. Beside being popular in the former Yugoslavia, he also had a very successful international career.

Domestic career

Robić began his career as a soloist with the Radio Zagreb Orchestra, while studying at the same time in Zagreb. He performed during the WW II on "Krugovalna postaja Zagreb" an in Esplanade hotel in Zageb.

During his career in what was then Socialist Republic of Croatia within Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, he made more than one hundred records, mostly singles. In his own country, the most memorable of his many songs might be "Vraćam se Zagrebe tebi" (Coming Back to You, My Zagreb), "Ta tvoja ruka mala" (That Little Hand of Yours), and "Tiho plove moje čežnje" (Silent Sail of My Yearnings).

International achievements

A pioneer of popular Yugoslav music from the early 1950s on, Robić was an artist who successfully pursued both domestic and international careers for almost half a century. When he began, he was the only artist from Yugoslavia whose records were available in the record shops of Europe and the rest of the world.

Robić was nicknamed "Mister Morgen" following the success of his first international hit, "Morgen" (which means "tomorrow"), in 1959. That song was the first collaboration between Robić and Bert Kaempfert. Following its success in Germany, the German-language version became a #13 hit on the popular charts in the United States and earned both artists a Gold Record. An English version, "One More Sunrise", sung by Leslie Uggams, reached #98 on the same charts. It has also been performed by many other artists. Robić was very active in recording for Germany's Polydor label, selling millions of albums and singles. He performed and collaborated with well-known artists such as Kaempfert, Freddy Quinn, Dean Martin.

His other international hits are "Muli-Song" (1960), "Mit 17 fängt das Leben erst an" (1960), "Ein ganzes Leben lang" (1962), "Rot ist der Wein" (1966), and "Ich zeig' dir den Sonnenschein" (1971).
