Алла Борисовна Пугачёва (Alla Borisovna Pugacheva or Pugachova -more accurately reflecting Russian pronunciation-) born April 15, 1949, is a Soviet and Russian musical performer. Her career started in 1965 and continues to this day. For her clear mezzosoprano and a full display of sincere feelings, she enjoys an iconic status across the former Soviet Union as the most successful Soviet performer in terms of record sales and popularity. In 1991, she became nominated a “People’s Artist of the USSR” honorary title.

Pugacheva started her career after having finished college in 1966 and started touring with the group Yunost’ (Youth) in Western Siberia. The following year she started to work as a piano accompanist in the State Circus Musical college. She provided the leading vocals to a number of bands, including Novy Elektron (New Electron), part of the Lipetsk State Philharmonic Society, in 1966, Moskvichi (Muscovites) in 1971, Oleg Lundstrem’s band in 1972–73, and Vesëlye Rebjata (Merry Folks) in 1974-75. Throughout the period, she recorded songs for numerous movies. In 1974, she became 3rd in the All-Union competition of musicians, which was somewhat of a disappointment for her. In 1975, she received the Grand Prix of the international contest “Golden Orpheus” performing the song “Harlequin”. The Amiga label released her winning song as a single in East Germany. Subsequently in Bulgaria, the Balkanton label released the live recording of “Harlequin” from the festival as a single. Next year, Pugacheva returned to the “Golden Orpheus” to perform a concert outside the competition.
