Eduard Khil

Eduard Anatolyevich Khil (Russian: Эдуа́рд Анато́льевич Хи́ль; born 4 September 1934, Smolensk, Western Oblast), sometimes referred as Edward Hill or Edward Khil, is a Russian baritone singer and a recipient of the People's Artist Award of the RSFSR. After retiring from a singing career, Khil slowly faded into obscurity in his later years. In 2010, Khil reclaimed the spotlight when he became the subject of the viral "Trololo" internet meme on YouTube, featuring a 1976 video of a vocalised version of the song, "I Am Glad To Finally Be Home" (Я очень рад, ведь я, наконец, возвращаюсь домой).
