Julie - Daniel

21 years after buying 'Julie' by Daniel, I bought it again... but this time it's the original Yugoslavian single, which features the original version 'Džuli' that went missing on the international release for some reason. This single came to me directly from Croatia, since I bought a couple of singles from a Croatian dealer on Discogs.

Even after almost three decades, this song is still as infectious as ever, although it may sound dated to some.

My collection: 7" single no. 6510
Found: Discogs.com, received 17 November 2021
Cost: $3
Tracks: 'Julie' / 'Džuli'

Julie - Daniel

Daniel was born as Milan Popovic on October 29, 1955 in Titograd, Yugoslavia. In 1977 he moved to Zagreb, to try and forge a career in pop music. In 1983, he was elected to represent his country in the Eurovision Song Contest with the song 'Džuli'. He finished on fourth place, equalling the country's best placing in the Contest in 1962.

The English version of the song, entitled 'Julie' was an international hit. In the Netherlands, the song peaked at number 3, outperforming that year's winner Corinne Hermes, who only made number 19.

My collection: 7" single no. 3218
