"White Motorboat."

The poem about the white motorboat was written by the poet Victor Dunin.

If legend is to be believed, the story of their appearance is very sad and romantic: during a sea cruise, Dunin met a charming girl who struck the poet's heart with her divine eyes... He assigned the stranger datebut the mysterious beauty never responded to him. didn't show up - she just got off the boat. More of them have not met…

One last thing

In February 2022, the artiste turned one 77 years old. Yuri Mikhailovich began his career at the age of 14 years old - I mean, he's been on stage for more half a century!

Of course, nowadays he doesn't put on such a spectacular performance - poor health of an older man is taking its toll. But the public still loves him as one of the most unique spokesmen of the world of our pops. And this one popular love fully deserved, because all of his songs great work!

"You can sit at the piano for a very long time. Sometimes it goes smoothly, sometimes not so smoothly - you literally squeeze every note out of yourself. It takes time to produce a quality song," Antonov admits.

And patience, as well as persistence of the domestic maestro is to be envied! As a rule, Yuri Mikhailovich he sees it through to the end. And without the usual hackwork of many modern stars - only quality and, of course, soul in every line and note....

And this sets Antonov apart from his colleagues: not every pop artist can boast that his songs still sound the same fresh and relevant here we are half centurytouching the listener's innermost being.
