ВИА «Пламя»

Once, they drove fans crazy, girls wept over their portraits, and the younger generation dreamed of only one thing — to be just like them, musicians in vocal-instrumental ensembles. In the mid-70s, there were about 40 thousand VIAs in the USSR. This one had a scandalous reputation. The entire lineup of musicians left "Samotsvety" and formed the VIA "Plamya". Forty years later, their songs still play in concert halls, on the radio, and through smartphone speakers. After all, everyone knows, "don't be sad, your whole life is ahead of you."
