Zdravko Čolić, born on May 30, 1951, in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, is a notable pop singer from the former Yugoslavia. He began his musical journey playing guitar at local gatherings with friend Braco Isović. His first significant public singing experience was in 1967 when he won second prize singing "Lady Madonna" by The Beatles at an amateur competition. Čolić joined his first band, Mladi i lijepi, and later became a member of Ambasadori. In 1970, he formed Novi Ambasadori with other musicians. His breakthrough came when Kornelije Kovač invited him to join Korni Grupa in September 1971. Čolić's career took off with the release of "Plačem za tvojim usnama" / "Zapjevaj", which sold well despite plagiarism controversies.

The popular singer followed up with original studio albums Zdravko Čolić (1988), Da ti kažem šta mi je (1990), Kad bi moja bila (1997), Okano (2000), Čarolija (2003), Zavičaj (2006), Kad pogledaš me preko ramena (2010), Vatra i barut (2013), and Ono malo sreće (2017), among many live recordings and compilations over the years.
