I was just introduced to this song by a connoisseur of Croatian music, and my first impression is WOW! This sure beats the tortuous tunes we had to listen to as a kid at my Croatian grandma's house. Her theory of life was "Never marry a musician or a gambler!" HA! My dad was born in Zagreb, but I am totally unfamiliar with Croatian popular music - except for the Robic/Kaempfert collaborations. Very strange: Radojka looks like my aunt Mary. Certainly a trick of Croatian genetics:) Hvala lijepa!

She was neither born nor ever lived behind the iron curtain. She might not have ever visited any of the countries of the eastern bloc. She traveled all over the world. As a matter of fact she has lived in different countries and recorded for foreign record labels. As an artist she was more active outside of her homeland than at home.

@RealShadowman - this video is from 1986. The iron curtain was not removed until 1989. At the time she is singing, Eastern Bloc residents were mostly FORBIDDEN travel in the free world because defection was such a great problem. Defector is a word which only exists because of communist philosophy, because those of us in the free world are always welcome to leave the country of our birth.
I am VERY puzzled that another American would not believe the totalitarian regime that existed there.

Where did you get that information? What is your source? That is just complete nonsense.

Americans and others take note, she was a 'prisoner' of the Soviet Bloc at this time. They tried to control minds and bodies, but they could NOT take her soul, as you can hear in her voice. She is an OUTSTANDING lady, and I am hearing her for the first time tonight. I am sorry I do not speak the language of Hrvatska
She started her international career in 1969 at the age of 23. Citizens of her homeland were free to travel anywhere they wanted. Not only was her homeland not a part of any bloc, it was a founder of the non-aligned movement, whose goal was dismantling of the blocs, disarmament, peace, and peaceful coexistence.
