Dad, Boris Mikhailovich Pugachev, was a strict and serious person, but he did not resist his wife's decision. Alla Borisovna became the second child in the family after her brother Gena. The Pugachev family lost him due to a terrible disease - diphtheria.

Introducing Music

Love forAlla was born into music even before the girl went to school. At the age of 5, she met a man who helped discover her talent for singing. So, Zinaida Arkhipovna brought a music teacher to the house. It was he who told the family that they were lucky. After all, they raise a real future star. After that, the life of little Alla Borisovna changed dramatically. She was enrolled in piano classes at a music school. Every day, the girl spent three hours playing a musical instrument. Despite such a successful start to her studies in the musical field, Alla knew that she would become a singer. In Pugacheva's dreams, the discography of the successful and world-famous artist was clearly visible.

Already after three months of training, the future star performed on stage with famous artists of the Soviet Union. So at the age of 5, Alla first tasted glory.

School years

In 1956, our heroine went to school. She had a fighting character and knew how to fend for herself. Despite this, Alla was an excellent student and even managed to help her peers in their studies. The teachers now and then made comments to her, but the parents were not upset. They knew that their daughter knew the edge and knew how to behave with dignity.

A music teacher in her school years prophesied to Alla Borisovna a great future for the famous pianist. But she resisted and believed in her dream of becoming a singer. Being an eighth-grader, the girl received a diploma from a music school and understood that she could not live without it.

After graduating from school, the future star applied to the Ipolitov-Ivanov school and wasas a second-year student when she was invited on a tour with Moscow pop artists.

Creativity of Alla Borisovna

Returning from the first tour, Pugacheva gave people the first composition called "Robot". It was first aired on the Good Morning show. After that, the girl was noticed, and the most famous producers began to invite her to cooperate. Despite the many already popular and famous people who surrounded her after her first success, Alla Borisovna preferred the composer Vladimir Shainsky. At that time, the man was just starting his career and was little known. It was he who continued a good start for the development and prosperity of such a talent as Primadonna. Shainsky replenished Pugacheva's discography with songs such as "Don't argue with me" and "No matter how I fall in love."

Agitation brigade "Youth" and difficulties in obtaining a diploma

Next, Alla Borisovna performed as part of the Yunost propaganda team. Together with the team, she traveled all over the Far North and the Arctic. I had to speak not only in front of large halls, but also in front of ordinary workers, as well as miners and drillers.

Despite the fact that Pugacheva's discography was gradually replenished with more and more new works, she had problems on the other front of science. Given the many gaps, the teaching staff decided not to allow the "truant" to the exams.

Alla Borisovna was punished for such behavior and went on an internship at one of the Moscow schools, where she worked for exactly six months. The students loved her, even though they called herAlkoy-shouter: she had a loud and caustic voice. After working off, Pugacheva was awarded a diploma. But before that, she was allowed to take state exams.

After receiving a diploma, Alla Pugacheva did not stop dreaming about the discography of a real star. It was for this reason that she did not look for a job in her speci alty. The girl immediately got a job in a circus variety school, with which she traveled as a soloist to many villages and small provincial towns.

An important role in the creation of Alla Pugacheva's early discography was played by the period when she became a soloist of the New Electron group, then Moskvich, and after that she was invited by the famous Cheerful Guys. Thanks to the latter, our heroine managed to win the first Grand Prix in her career for the song "Harlekino".

Leaving the Merry Fellows
