http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vice_Vukov
Vice Vukov (born August 3, 1936) is a Croatian singer and politician.

In 1960s he used to be one of the most popular singers in Croatia. He appeared at the Eurovision Song Contest 1963 with the song "Brodovi" and at the Eurovision Song Contest 1965 with the song "Čežnja". Neither of the songs was successful at the Eurovision.

In 1972, after Croatian Spring, he was branded as Croatian nationalist by Yugoslav authorities. Subsequently, he was barred from performing publicly and all his records were pulled out of stores.

In 1989 album of his new songs, albeit without his name, reappeared in Croatian music stores, signalling the political change.

After the introduction of democracy to Croatia, Vice Vukov became a prominent supporter of the Social Democratic Party of Croatia. He ran several times for the seat in Croatian Parliament, finally succeeding in 2003. In 2001 he was suggested as ambassador to Switzerland.

On November 17, 2005, while descending the stairs in the Parliament building, Vukov tripped and fell, sustaining a serious head injury. He was hospitalized and underwent surgery; as of March 2006, according to his doctors, he is in a persistent vegetative state, with no chance for recovery.

I've been listneing to a few of his songs on Youtube tonight. It's interesting to hear him sing in English. His voice is beautiful in Croatian, and I love the unique flavour his accent brings to this wonderful song.

What a voice... wonderful!

[tomovalado]

Ipak mi ljepše zvuči njegov glas kada pjeva na našem jeziku.

[moglibud]

Ja imam samo jednu stvar za reci, da je ona cula Vicea pjevati ovu pjesmu bila bi se rastopila.
