Viktor Savvich Klimenko (born 24 November 1942) is a singer[1] who made himself known as the "SingingCossack".

Biography

[edit]

Klimenko was born inKarelia, to a RussianKuban Cossack father, Savva Klimenko, and a Russian mother, Olga Glotova. A few years after his birth, his family moved to Finland. There, he became a musician and appeared in several films, mostly appearing as himself. TheEurovision Song Contest 1965 was his first appearance outside of Finland; his song didn't earn any points in the competition.[2]

In 1970, Klimenko released the albumStenka 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. Klimenko 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 betweenSveriges Radio,BBC,YLE, andNRK.

Klimenko rebranded himself as aGospel singer in 1980, after having a personal religious revelation.
