Joseph Kobzon — how much is contained in this name. He was an amazing person, a politician, an artist, but most importantly — a man with a capital letter. For him, there were no other people's troubles, each had its own. He gave all of himself to the people around him, always finding time for everyone.This book is for those who knew Kobzon personally, for those who would like to get to know him better today, belatedly, and for those who listened and still listen to his songs. The memories of many people who knew Joseph Davidovich personally are collected inside. These are famous artists, musicians, actors, politicians, cosmonauts, scientists, doctors and the most devoted fans. They will tell a lot of interesting stories, reveal behind-the-scenes, and not only secrets, and add new touches to the portrait of the legendary singer with world fame.
