Čurný was probably not close to Zagorová. A big mistake! – A plus

yesterday 15:00 Czech diva Hana Zagorová would have celebrated her birthday today. The words of the expert Juraj Čurný would certainly not please her… The Czech phenomenal singer Hana Zagorová (†75) would celebrate her birthday today with her beloved husband and with “champignon” in her hand, as she called her favorite drink. Unfortunately, a few days ago we had to say goodbye to her forever. Miscalculations Sama described herself as a fatalist. She loved life, lived exclusively in the present and did not dwell on what would have been if… “Probably because I experienced a lot of suffering, I enjoy every day. I know very well what it’s like when you have the feeling that there will be no tomorrow,” the singer said in the past to PLUS 7 DAYS. During her career, she wrote approximately ninety lyrics, sang nine hundred songs, has nine Golden Nightingales and sold almost eleven million albums. Shortly after the death of the irreplaceable singer, Slovak music expert Juraj Čurný gave an incorrect time reference to her dizzying career in the media. “She recorded from 1968 until 2021, which is an incredible, wonderful 53 years,” he calculated. Beginnings in Ostrava He completely forgot about Hanka’s five-year work at Ostrava Radio. She recorded her first two compositions, Písnička záměníková and Písnička v white, here already in 1963. The verse White is the morning when the dawn breaks, my wedding dress will be white, she even later used it for the wedding announcement with Vlastimil Harapes. In the Ostrava part of her career, she recorded most of the songs, including the later hits Mrtvá láska or Prý jsem zhýralá, with the legendary František Trnk, who was also the head of the Ostrava radio station at the time. In 1965, she already had her first solo show on television. A year later, she started working with the legendary group Flamingo. In 1968, when, according to Čurný, she started, she was already in fifth place in the Golden Nightingale survey. My time didn’t want to sing. It was also successful thanks to the precise selection of the repertoire. Over time, she resented many of her compositions. They also included the mega-hits Proc nejsi bigger, Extraordinary line, and Muj čas. “You either like the song or you don’t like it. In the song Muj čas, it annoyed me: “Příteli chvátej”. In addition, everyone loved it and it is still a big hit. Petr and Stand forced me to sing it. But I already took her to her mercy after years,” Hanka told us some time ago. It is interesting that the best-selling singer of all time was sometimes surprised by her own popularity. “I wasn’t exceptionally pretty, nor did I have an exceptional voice. Maybe there was something in that imperfection that attracted people. They believed in the songs I sing. There was definitely charisma in it. When I was a golden nightingale, there were several other singers who sang better than me. For example, Helena. She sang better, looked better, and people preferred me anyway. Of course, one thinks about what it could be. But I don’t know and I don’t really care,” she concluded.
