KAREL GOTT is probably the biggest artist ever to come out of the old Czechoslovakia. He has recorded between 500 and 700 songs in his  career. Roy van der Merwe of ESC Covers is a big fan of Karel, who represented Austria in the 1968 Eurovision song contest with a song composed by Udo Jurgens called TAUSEND FENSTER.

For a couple of weeks, we will publish several KAREL GOTT songs in  the Czech language – songs that have been big hits in English by other artists.

First up is NADHERNY CHOR which is a cover of Neil Diamond’s BEAUTIFUL NOISE.
