In the 1960s and 1970s, he performed with the Troubadours band and was already very popular at that time. This was evidenced not only by numerous awards at festivals, but also by his later solo career. He even gave concerts in East Germany, where he also recorded two singles, and finally left for the United States, where he lived with breaks for many years. It is impossible to count all his hits from the 70s and 80s. But in the early 2000s, after returning from the States, he was rather associated with the disco polo trend and being a “Polish Presley”. – The biggest failure was returning to Poland in the 90s, when people had already forgotten about him a bit, and he had nothing to live on – recalled Maria Szabłowska in an interview. To be able to make a living, he decided to sing in the disco polo trend, which many fans could not forgive him for a long time.

No wonder the Bosnian musician wanted a rerun. Initially, he hoped for a duet with Czesław Niemen, but nothing came of it, as the artist could start work in three years at the earliest. – If it was not possible to recruit Niemen for the project, now find me a vocalist who has a powerful voice, was once very popular, collapsed and is now treated as embarrassing – ordered Grzegorz Brzozowicz, as recalled in the pages of . Krzysztof Krawczyk was immediately proposed and it turned out to be a bull’s-eye. In 2001, they released their album “Give me a second life”, whose biggest hit was the song “Mój Przyjacielu”.
It was Krawczyk who wanted the song “My friend”. The music video was “a bit” inspired by the cult film
Bregović did not want to record the song in the original by Serbian musician Momčilo Bajagić. However, the song was chosen by Krawczyk together with the record company. After persuasion, Bregović agreed, albeit reluctantly, because the song was not his. – The artist’s ego was quite swollen at that moment – recalled Krzysztof Krawczyk on the air. The words were written by Daniel Wyszogrodzki, and the final version of the song was recorded in Belgrade. The popularity of “My friend” was also influenced by the music video, which turned out to be the most expensive in Krzysztof Krawczyk’s career. – The idea for the clip was a bit taken from the movie “The Godfather”. My cheeks are stuffed with cotton, I play cards. It was done very well,” said the musician.
