OLIVER MANDIĆ (born 13 July 1953 in Titovo Užice, Serbia, Yugoslavia) is a Serbian pop musician, composer, and producer - very prominent and popular throughout the 1980s. In 1985, he triumphed at the MESAM festival with folkish track "Pomagajte drugovi". He used the widely publicized festival appearance to promote his third album "Dođe mi da vrisnem tvoje ime", produced by Peter Taggart. In addition to the title track, the album brought further hits that flirt with folk. The same year also saw him take part in YU Rock Misija, Yugoslav contribution to Bob Geldof's Band Aid. For all intents and purposes, this is when Mandić's solo recording career ended, at least in the classic album-tour-album sense, as he began keeping a noticeably lower profile on the pop scene. He got an executive job at the PGP-RTB record label, where he stayed for most of 1986 and 1987, before releasing a greatest hits compilation "Sve najbolje" that marked the 10th anniversary of his solo career. The same year, 1987, saw Mandić team up with Nikša Bratoš to produce Boris Novković's second album "Jači od sudbine", which sold very well. Mandić also received an offer to produce Plavi Orkestar's second album "Smrt fašizmu", but turned it down. For the remainder of the decade Mandić recorded an album of children's music "Deca bez adrese" with popular children's entertainer and TV personality Branko Kockica, and in 1989 he again collaborated with his old friend Dušan Prelević who wrote a screenplay for the movie "Poslednji krug u Monci". Mandić recorded the movie's title track "Odlazim, a volim te", which became a sizable commercial hit. The song, along with some other material that Mandić used in the movie, all came from the recordings he made with different musicians such as Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, and Pat Metheny while staying in the United States during the late 1980s.
