Владимир Качан (1947—2021)

Vladimir Kachan (Владимир Качан), a Russian theatre and film actor and a singer-songwriter, died on 7 May.

One of his best-known songs is Оранжевый кот (Orange Cat) with the lyrics by Leonid Filatov. Until today, it was the only song I knew for sure to be written by Kachan.

I think everybody from my generation (and at least ±1 generation) knew the song from Звезда пленительного счастья, but I learned only now that it was Kachan singing.

What I do remember very well was his appearance in the Soviet TV programme Вокруг смеха in a duo with Lyudmila Cherepanova (Людмила Черепанова).
