History
Yuri Antonov (born February 19, 1945, in Tashkent, Uzbek SSR) is a Soviet and Russian pop singer, composer, multi-instrumentalist and actor whose career spans author-song, pop-rock, soft-rock, post-disco and AOR styles. He began working at 14 as a choir leader at a railway depot, studied at the Molodechno music college in Belarus, and later worked as a soloist with the Belarusian State Philharmonic, where his band briefly included guitarist Vladimir Mulyavin, later famous as the founder of Pesnyary. In 1969 he joined the Leningrad vocal-instrumental ensemble Poyushchiye Gitary (Singing Guitars), before playing with several other Soviet bands including Araks, Dobry Molodtsy and Aerobus. As a solo artist on the Melodiya label he became one of the USSR's most popular performers, with hits such as "Krysha doma tvoyego" (Roof of Your Home), "More" (Sea) and "Maki" (Poppies); records from this period reportedly sold more than 20 million copies. Several of his songs were later released abroad with unrelated English lyrics, with "Krysha doma tvoyego" reissued as "Look at Their Faces." He holds the title People's Artist of the Russian Federation (1997) and multiple state honors, including the Order "For Merit to the Fatherland."
