Solovyov-Sedoi composed the music for many songs such as "Moscow Nights" (Russian: Подмосковные вечера) and "Nightingales" (Russian: Соловьи).[2][3] He also wrote music for numerous films. Originally named Solovyov, when he entered the Union of Soviet Composers he added the suffix "Sedoi", meaning grey-haired, to avoid confusion with another composer with the same surname.[2]
