From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Marek Grechuta (December 10, 1945 Zamość, Poland - October 9, 2006 Kraków, Poland) was a Polish singer, composer, and lyricist from Zamość.
He studied architecture at the University of Technology in Kraków, and debuted in 1967 in the student cabaret Anawa. In that same year he was awarded second place in the VI Nationwide Contest of Student Singers (VI Ogólnopolski Konkurs Piosenkarzy Studenckich) and also received an award for the song Tango Anawa, written by him, with music by J. K. Pawluśkiewicz. From 1968 he won several awards at the Festival of Polish Music in Opole.
He wrote many hits, which were often characterized by the use of poetic and literary elements. He co-authored (along with P. Birula and K. Szwajgier) the music for Exodus (written by L. A. Moczulski) at the STU Theater in Kraków (1974) as well as the musical Szalona Lokomotywa (Crazy Locomotive) by Stanisław Witkiewicz (along with K. Jasiński and Jan Kanty Pawluśkiewicz) (1977).
