Estonian (better to say, a Soviet singer) Georg Ots has been looking for himself for a long time. He realized his vocal capabilities at the age of 22, when, being at the front of the Great Patriotic War, he was invited to the front-line ensemble. It is surprising that his family, where the head of the family, Kaarel Ots, was a graduate of the St. Petersburg Conservatory and an opera singer, did not see any singing abilities in him. In fact, it happens. A child's voice is not an indicator of whether a person has vocal capabilities. Unlike possession of any other musical instrument, which requires early entry into the profession, the singing voice can truly be seen after 20 years. When age-related changes are left behind and a strengthened body is able to work on the correct sound production under conditions of stability. Georg Ots was surrounded by music in his early years, but was more interested in sports and technical knowledge. He was twice Estonian swimming champion and would like to become an architect, but was not allowed the financial capabilities of the family. Kaarel Ots admitted that his son is a real singer, but only when it became widely known. In the post-war years, they often performed together, and both were awarded the title of People's Artist. History is silent about what he thought about his myopia in relation to his son's talent. Now the father of Georg Ots in Russia (perhaps they know him in Estonia?), No one remembers, but everyone knows his son. I would like to hope for this, although a long silence about this incomparable singer could make his name unknown to the younger generation. If you turn to Yandex. Wordstat, about 18 thousand people monthly look in a search engine for information about who Georg Ots is. This is nice, but I would like this number to grow. The people must know and remember their heroes. At the beginning of May, the exhibition "I love you, Georg Ots!" Was opened at the Chaliapin Museum. We were the lucky ones to be invited to its grand opening. There I peeped in the accompanying captions what became the topic of my article.
