After the performance of the compositions “These Eyes is in advance”, “Witchcraft”, “Eternal Spring”, “Eastern Song”, after the performance of the compositions “these eyes are most popular”. The peak of the popularity of Valery Obodzinsky came in the years of the last century. Songs in his performance sounded literally in every house, his concerts took place with a full house, not everyone could get a ticket on them.

He had an amazing voice, the magic of which brought the audience in full delight. Valeria was often called the singer of love, he knew what it was, he loved fiercely and demanding. Childhood was born Valery Obodzinsky on January 24 in Odessa. The boy’s father - Pole Vladimir Obozdinsky and mother - Evgenia Kazanenko, Ukrainian, went to the front. Valera remained with the grandmother of the house Kuzminichnaya, who also raised her own son Leonid, two years older.

Valery Obodzinsky as a child Leonid was 5 when he stole a sausage from a fascist officer, and instantly ate it. The furious German put the boy against the wall, and was about to shoot him.

Together with him, the fascist set up a one and a half year old Valera. The boys began to roar, Domna rushed at the feet of the German officer, kissed his boots and asked to have mercy on two uninterested ones. A minute later, the German calmed down, and forgave the disruptions. The biography of a popular singer could break off so ridiculous and tragically.

The boy's childhood was in the post -war years, it was hungry and difficult, so there was no talk of music. Although he showed remarkable abilities that could not be noticed. Valery independently mastered the guitar, along with other boys performed on Primorsky Boulevard. Valery Obodzinsky in his youth had to somehow earn a living, so Valery began to work very early. He was immediately taken by a stokers, then he was engaged in the manufacture of mattresses and furniture fittings.

Then he tried the strength as a mass-machine on the ship "Admiral Nakhimov", went on one flight. The first acquaintance with the world of art took place in Valery at the age of seventeen. He was lucky enough to participate in the filming of the painting “Black Sea”, where he appeared in the episodic role of the musician of the orchestra. The actor did not work out of him, but the young man realized what he was drawn to the most.

When the opportunity appeared, Okodzinsky left for Tomsk and became a student of a local music school. He learned to play in the double bass. The first time Valery was on stage in the Tomsk Philharmonic. Later, his performances were held in the Philharmonics of Donetsk and Kostroma, but already as a vocalist. Further, the creative biography of Okodzinsky crossed with the orchestra Oleg Lundstrem, where he was taken as a soloist.

With this orchestra, he toured throughout the Soviet Union. Music what is a real success, Obodzinsky learned only in m, after his tour in the Primorsky Territory and Siberia ended. Glory also increased after visiting Bulgaria, where he presented the audience with the fashionable composition “The Moon on the Sunny Beach”. By the end of X, a record appeared on sale called “Valery Ovozdinsky sings,” the entire circulation of which was sold out in the blink of an eye.

Valery Obodzinsky sings the revenue from the sale of discs, the state went to the state, and amounted to 30 million, while the contractor himself was paid a very modest fee in the amount of rubles. Valery all his life was indignant at such financial injustice, but he could not do anything. In the USSR, artists received pennies. After that, the performer recorded several more records that dispersed at the same speed as the first.

The interest in Obodzinsky was simply phenomenal, this was explained by his peculiar manner of performance, an incredible voice and lyrical timbre. It is also important that Valery never specially studied vocals, he was helped out by an innate hearing and a musical instinct. Among other things, the musician differed from other incredible ability to work and high professionalism.

It so happened that he took several hours to rehearse one verse, but this did not tire the singer, while his colleagues from the orchestra were already falling from fatigue. And, as a result, the incredible popularity of Okodzinsky, which fell on him in the years. His compositions - “these eyes are in advance”, “leaf fall”, “eastern song”, which David Tukhmanov wrote, “Marsh of the Paratroopers”, “How many Girls in the World”, composer Alexanda Zatsepin, rattled from each window.

In those years, hearing their music in the USSR was a great luxury. Valery not only sang their compositions in Russian, in his performance they sounded in a special way sensually and passionately.
