Joseph Davydovich and I have been friends for many long years and I am proud of it. The songs he sang became part of our country’s gold reserves, and they do not age, on the contrary, they gain in value with time. Joseph Davydovich is an exceptionally reliable person. Gentleman’s word as a bond is becoming an increasingly rare commodity these days. If you have Kobzon’s word it is as good as done. Only strong and courageous people have this quality and Kobzon is of the breed.
