Viktor Klimenko (born 24 November 1942) is a singer who made himself known as the "Singing Cossack". ==Biography== A few years after Klimenko's birth in Karelia, his family moved to Finland. There, he became a musician and appeared in several films, mostly appearing as himself. The Eurovision Song Contest 1965 was his first appearance outside of Finland; his song didn't earn any points in the competition. In 1970, Klimenko released the album ''Stenka Rasin'' across Europe. The album, containing Russian songs, went gold in the Finnish market—the first record to do so in Finland. Later, it was certified platinum. This success was followed by a decade of concerts around the world. Klimeno had nine more gold records and one more platinum record. In 1973, he played in the Norwegian "comedy-humour-musical" ''Kofferten'' (Swedish: ''Ryck mig i vaskan''), a co-operation between Sveriges Radio, BBC, YLE, and NRK. Klimenko rebranded himself as a Gospel singer in 1980, after having a personal religious revelation. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Viktor Klimenko (singer)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
