Short biography of Alla Borisovna
This talent was born on April 15, 1949 in Moscow (Russia). Her mother, Zinaida Arkhipovna Odegova, decided to name her daughter in honor of her beloved actress Alla Tarasova. Dad, Boris Mikhailovich Pugachev, was a strict and serious man, but he did not oppose his wife's decision. Alla Borisovna became the second child in the family after her brother Gena. His family Pugachev lost due to a terrible disease - diphtheria.
Acquaintance with music
Alla had a love of music even before the girl went to school. At the age of 5, she met a man who helped discover her singing talent. So, Zinaida Arkhipovna brought a music teacher to the house. It was he who informed the family that they were lucky. After all, they are growing a real future star. After that, the life of little Alla Borisovna radically changed. She was enrolled in a piano class at a music school. Every day, the girl spent three hours at a musical instrument. Despite such a successful start in music education, Alla knew that she would become a singer. In the dreams of Pugacheva, the discography of a successful and world-famous artist was clearly visible.
After three months of training, the future star appeared on the stage together with famous artists of the Soviet Union. So at the age of 5, Alla first tasted the glory.
School years
In 1956, our heroine went to school. She had a fighting character and was able to fend for herself. Despite this, Alla was an excellent student and even managed to help her peers with her studies. Teachers kept making comments to her, but her parents were not upset. They knew that their daughter knows the line and knows how to behave with dignity.
A music teacher in school years prophesied to Alla Borisovna the great future of the famous pianist. But she resisted and believed in her dream of a career as a singer. Being an eighth-grader, the girl received a diploma of graduating from music school and realized that she could not live without it.
After graduating from school, the future star submitted documents to the Ipolitov-Ivanov school and was a second-year student when she was invited to a tour with artists from Moscow.
Creativity Alla Borisovna
Returning from the first tour, Pugacheva gave people the first song called “Robot”. It was first broadcast on the show "Good morning." After that, the girl was noticed, and the most famous producers began to invite her to cooperate. Despite the many already popular and famous people who surrounded her after her first success, Alla Borisovna preferred the composer Vladimir Shainsky. At that time, the man was just starting his career and was little known. It was he who continued a good start for the development and prosperity of such a talent as Primadonna. Shainsky supplemented Pugacheva’s discography with songs such as “Do not argue with me” and “How would I not fall in love”.
Agitation Brigade "Youth" and difficulties in obtaining a diploma
Further, Alla Borisovna acted as part of the Yunost propaganda team. Together with the team, she traveled all over the Far North and the Arctic. I had to speak not only in front of large halls, but also in front of ordinary workers, as well as miners and drillers.
Despite the fact that Pugacheva’s discography was gradually replenished with more and more new works, on the other front of science she had problems. Given the many omissions, the teaching staff decided not to allow the “absenteeism” to exams.
Alla Borisovna was punished for such behavior and went on an internship to one of Moscow schools, where she worked for exactly six months. The disciples loved her, although they called her Alcoy-chanting: she had a loud and pungent voice. After practicing, Pugacheva was still awarded a diploma. But before, she was allowed to pass state exams.
After graduation, Alla Pugacheva never stopped dreaming about discography of a real star. It was for this reason that she did not begin to look for work in her specialty. The girl immediately got a job in a circus variety school, with which, as a soloist, she traveled to many villages and small provincial towns.
An important role in the creation of Alla Pugacheva’s early discography was played by the period when she became a soloist of the New Electron band, then of the Muscovites, and after that she was invited to the famous “Funny Guys”. Thanks to the latter, our heroine bothered with the first Grand Prix in her career for the song “Harlequin”.

Leaving the "Fun Guys"
At a time when the discography of Alla Pugacheva began to rapidly replenish with new works, the remaining members of the Cheerful Guys collective began to express their dissatisfaction. They considered this attitude of the girl towards them unfair and self-serving. Alla herself did not share their opinion and came into conflict with the leader of the ensemble. It was he who served as the reason for breaking all kinds of relations between these people.
The beginning of the solo career of Pugacheva
A. B. Pugacheva decided to go solo swimming and create her own full-fledged discography by the end of a busy 1976. Then she literally immediately received an offer to speak at the beloved by many “New Year's Eve”. At the concert, Alla Borisovna performed with the song "Very Good."
