Miroslav Ilić (Serbian: Мирослав Илић; born 10 December 1950, Mrčajevci, PR Serbia FPR Yugoslavia)) is a popular Serbian folk singer-songwriter. He is known for his powerful vocals and emotional lyrics. Before becoming a musician he took Electrical courses at a University of Skopje. Nicknamed Slavuj iz Mrčajevaca (The Nightingale from Mrčajevci), he has worked together with several popular Yugoslavian musicians such as Lepa Brena. In recent times, he has spoken out against the new generation of Serbian music videos, claiming that music videos are becoming more and more sexually suggestive and inappropriate for general audiences.

Discography

Ilić's first hit song was "I loved the girl from the city" (Serbian: Волео сам девојку из града) composed by Obren Pjevović, a fellow country man of Ilić, and authored by Dobrica Erić.

Pjevović first offered this song to Predrag Živković Tozovac and Predrag Gojković Cune, but they rejected it as non-commercial. In 1972, after several major record companies refused to publish, it Pjevović and Ilić accidentally, on their way to railway station in Belgrade, passed by the representative office of Diskos record company and decided to approach to them. Although this song was not corresponding to contemporary modern trends, manager from Diskos decided to take a big personal risk and publish the song. Very soon it became one of the biggest hit folk songs in Belgrade and Serbia.

Miroslav Holub

Miroslav Holub (13 September 1923 – 14 July 1998) was a Czech poet and immunologist.

Miroslav Holub's work was heavily influenced by his experiences as an Immunologist, writing many poems using his scientific knowledge to poetic effect. His work is almost always unrhymed, so lends itself easily to translation. It has been translated into more than 30 languages and is especially popular in the English-speaking world. Although one of the most internationally well-known Czech poets, his reputation continues to languish at home.

Holub was born in Plzeň. His first book in Czech was Denní služba (1958), which abandoned the somewhat Stalinist bent of poems earlier in the decade (published in magazines).

In English, he was first published in the Observer in 1962, and five years later a Selected Poems appeared in the Penguin Modern European Poets imprint, with an introduction by Al Alvarez and translations by Ian Milner and George Theiner. Holub's work was lauded by many, including Ted Hughes and Seamus Heaney, and his influence is visible in Hughes' collection Crow (1970).
