TOMI SOVILJ I NJEGOVE SILUETE

about

TOMI SOVILJ & NJEGOVE SILUETE was formed in 1964, in Beograd, Serbia (ex-Yugoslavia) when Tomi Sovilj left Zoran Miščević's "Siluete". In 1966 they recorded their first single for "Diskos" and in 1967 they recorded another single for same disco company. In late 60s Tomi Sovilj arrived in America and sings in american rock clubs As Lutalice disbanded in 1964 Miščević moved back to Siluete which soon achieved high success with their live performances. In the middle of 1964 Tomi Sovilj formed his own Siluete, but the members of the original Siluete sued him and he lost the right to use the name Siluete. During 1965 Siluete shocked the audience with their live performances, which secured them with huge popularity. At the time there were around 230 rock bands in Belgrade, but all of them wore short hair and tidy clothes, which were the standards Siluete changed. At the Gitarijada (not to be confused with Gitarijada festival held in Zaječar) held on January 9, 1966 on Belgrade's Sajmište Siluete performed with other popular rock bands. That evening a former member of Beduini, guitarist Dragi Jelić performed with the band for the first time. In 1967 Siluete won the first place on Gitarijada organized by Večernje novosti. They released their first single with songs "Tvoj rođendan" (cover of Small Faces's "Sha la la lie") "Keti", "Najdraži san" (cover of The Searchers' "When You Walk in the Room") and "Uhvati vetar" (cover of Donovan's "Catch the Wind") and sold more than 45,000 copi
