Day 19: A song by an artist no longer living

Юра Шатунов - Летные ночи

I've been obsessed with Yura Shatunov since 2008. He got his start at age 14 as one of the lead vocalists of the late-80s/early-90s Russian pop group, Laskovy May. He was a cutie. He passed away in 2022 from a heart attack at age 49. His death is rather controversial. He had been hanging out with his former bandmate, Andrey Razin, whom he had been in a legal dispute with. Sources say Andrey poisoned Yura, which I believe. Andrey is shady.

But anyway, this is one of my fave songs of Yura's solo career.
