Biography
Training under Natalia Tagliori is recorded. The recorded working language is Russian and Ukrainian. Subjects and genres recorded for the work are estrada. Distinctions recorded are Order of Lenin, People's Artist of the USSR, Order of the Red Banner of Labour and Order of the Red Star.
Shulzhenko started singing with jazz and pop bands in the late 1920s. She rose to fame in the late 1930s with her version of Sebastián Iradier's La Paloma. In 1939, she was awarded at the first all-Soviet competition of pop singers. During World War II, Shulzhenko performed about a thousand concerts for Soviet soldiers in besieged Leningrad and elsewhere. The lyrics of one of her prewar songs, "The Blue Headscarf", were adapted so as to suit wartime realities. Another iconic song of the Eastern Front (World War II), "Let's Have a Smoke", was later used by Vladimir Menshov in his Oscar-winning movie Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears. In 1945, Shulzhenko was awarded the Order of the Red Star. In 1971, she was named People's Artist of the USSR, "the highest possible accolade for a singer". On April 10, 1976, Shulzhenko performed to an enraptured audience in the House of the Unions in what would become her most famous concert.
