Biography



Early years: 1950–1968


Cho Yong-pil was born in Hwaseong, South Korea and spent part of his childhood in Seoul. He and actor Ahn Sung-ki were schoolmates at the now-defunct Kyungdong Middle School in Seoul and remained friends even though they attended different high schools.[6][7] When Cho was seven, he happened to listen to Ray Charles playing the harmonica, and this inspired the young Cho to become a musician. Initially he was a guitarist in various bands but became a solo artist.


Atkins and Five Fingers period: 1969–1971


Cho formed a band called Atkins, a country & western group, and played for the United States Army. Later, he founded Five Fingers, which played music by black artists.


Kim Trio: 1971


In 1971, Cho joined the band, Kim Trio, which motivated him to perform rock music. Members of Kim Trio were Pa Kim (guitar), Dan Kim (drum) and Sun Kim (keyboard).


Commercial success: 1980–1992


His first single, "Come Back to Busan Port [ja]," brought him national attention when it was released in 1975, later becoming a hit in Japan. Cho then made a Japanese-language version of the song, and sang live in Japan. His first album, Chang bakkui yeoja 창 밖의 여자 (The Woman outside the Window), was released in 1980 and has been followed by many others. In 1980, he had a concert at Carnegie Hall in the city of New York, the first Korean singer at Carnegie Hall. With a total of 19 albums, he has received numerous awards such as the KBS and MBC Best Artist Award (1980–1986), Ampex Golden Reel Award (1982) and the CBS-Sony Golden Disc Award (1984).


Commercial decline and concerts: 1992


His commercial success declined after the appearance of the renowned group, Seo Taiji and Boys and many other young musicians. His studio albums released after 1992 were not so successful. Noticing this, he announced that he would stop appearing on television, concluding that he would hardly make any hits. Subsequently, he focused more on concerts and music performance. In 1993, his Busan concert attracted an audience of 1 million, a record for South Korea. In 2005, Cho performed a concert in Pyongyang, North Korea, an extremely rare event for a South Korean singer. He performs over thirty concerts per year. However, he attempted to compose diverse kinds of pop music, including rock music. In the end, he composed a great hybrid album based on pop and classical music, which revealed his inherent ultimate musical sense, comparable to that of famous western musicians. Such gifted musical talent is a major driving force to maintain great live tours at the World Cup Soccer Stadium in South Korea, even at the age of over 60.


19th album "Hello": 2013


In April 2013, Cho released his 19th album titled "Hello," which debuted at No. 1 on the Korean pop charts eclipsing Psy's "Gentleman" On April 25, 2013, he came back to TV via the showcase 'Hello'. This show was also broadcast live on YouTube.[8]

MBC Show! Music Core also gave the top award for the same song on May 4.
