"Back to Youth" - Remember the main hits performed by Viktor Saltykov

Starting with his involvement in "Forum.", Viktor Saltykov was the idol of Soviet youth! And not only the youth - even more so mature A generation raised on much more traditional quiet music could not resist his resoundingly! Vocal data, as well as a colourful image of a sort of "bad boy." with an explosive mop of hair on his head, made Saltykov a true home-grown pop idol! The singer stood out significantly from his stage colleagues, but what really made him a hot favourite performer was his voice!

This one characteristic - Melodic, unique and unlike anyone else's vocals have forever settled in my soul Soviet music lover... He's unmistakable! As soon as the song starts playing and the first verse comes on, you realise immediately: this is the Vitya Saltykov! Best songs performed by this man we have tried to collect for you below. Enjoy listening and immersing yourself in the funky days of yesteryear youths…

"White Night."

"The white night has descended like a cloud, the wind wonders at the young foliage" - this line to this day swirling around in my head practically every domestic listener! In its time, the song about the white night was unrealistic a smash hitwithout which no discotheque could do without! Romanticised lyrics combined with Saltykov's amazing voice turned into a ageless schlager.

Even todaydespite the fact that this hit is about to be 40 yearsit sounds fresh and fiery! And a touch of light melancholy add the special colours that the modern generation seems to love so much. Yes, yes: this may come as a surprise to you, but today's youth really loved this song! It can often be found in the same Tik-Tok, and the modern band "Chernigovskaya Hata" I even did a cover of it! But it's darker and more measured than the original.....

"You don't marry him."

This song made the band widely famous "Electroclub."when Saltykov was already their vocalist. Before that, the band had been Igor Talkovbut he soon got bored - it wasn't his style, his soul demanded it. rock... But Victor, who had just left the Forum, was just fine. But that's another story.

That song became smash hitwhich is just as popular as the track "White Night". As Saltykov takes high notes in the chorus - it seems unrealistic, but it's this one. unique timbre so perfectly suited to these songs. And no matter how many artists do their coversthey'll never beat Victor!

"The Island."

"The Island." became another hat-trick of "Forum" and Saltykov, its performer, in particular. Each music lover knew that song by heart! It was released as part of the album "White Night."which proved to be a bounty of hits....

Remarkable, but it's single the band's studio album featuring Viktor Saltykov! But even being solo artistVictor Vladimirovich never missed an opportunity to perform these favourite hits...

"Let's get on the phone."

That's a great song, resembling to all of us, how important it is to stay in touch with our family and friends....

"And we don't need to look up the phone number
From memory, as before, it's easy to type it out
And if our friendship has been cherished for so many years.
Hearing this song, let's call..."

"Horses in apples."

"Horses in apples, horses grey, like my dream - horses brave!" - this song has been going on for a long time on the radio and discos! After graduation, it was literally coming out of every iron! And even now. in demand in the audience.

This wind-up song has become a golden smash Saltykov! It can rightly be said that this is one of his most greatest hits... And a calling card, along with the songs "White Night" and "You Don't Marry Him".

"The leaves have flown away."

And this is a very non-standard for Saltykov's song. At least because it is not in the style of incendiary electro, but more tender and lyrical…

"The leaves have flown away." - this is a good opportunity to get nostalgic and mentally travel back to the days of former youthand especially to indulge in romantic memories. This song is quite different from anything we are used to hearing performed by Viktor Vladimirovich. But he handled it flawlessly, too.

"What compares to youth."

"What can compare to youth, to first love.
The one that stays crumpled on your lips..."

This beautiful song is the real deal ode to young love: light, casual, shy but so sincere.....

"Door coded."

We agree: this song carries rather unusual name! You could say - ambiguous! But really, it's singing about love....

And the lyric is very sad, on behalf of a guy who doesn't know how to reach out to her lover! Her heart is literally coded! And that makes our narrator sad.

"Going crazy."

And to conclude our list, we've decided to end with a song "Going crazy."!

A little about the artiste

Apart from "Forums." и "Electroclub."Saltykov made a name for himself in the ranks. "Manufactures."! He later went on to build solo careerwhich turned out to be very successful - no matter how you look at it, Victor Saltykov has always been a in the foreground in any band! And the public loved him, so they were not going to turn their backs on the lone singer.

If Viktor Vladimirovich left "Forum" on the back of the misunderstandings and conflicts within the collective, he left the Electroclub at the insistence of his own wives:

"She kept telling me: 'Get out of there, Vitya! You're the only thing that keeps them going! Allegrova comes out, sings two songs, and that's it. And then you carry the whole band! But no one appreciates it, so it turns out that you're the only one feeding everyone!"

Saltykov's wife may have been rightsbecause shortly after he left. "Electroclub." ceased to exist.
