Neznámy pár (en|An Unknown Couple) is a duet by Marika Gombitová and Karel Gott released on OPUS in 1987.[1]
The composition wrote Gombitová herself upon a request from František Polák, editor of the pre-filmed live show called Abeceda, created by ČST. Lyrics provided Kamil Peteraj, and the composition was presented on television on 1 November 1987. During the night show, both artists sung also "Hrajme píseň"), a trio recorded in collaboration with Czech actor Josef Laufer.
The duet itself was officially released on Gombitová's studio album entitled Ateliér duše (1987), and received a nomination for Zlatá nota, awarded by publicists of the Melodie magazine.
Later on, "Neznámy pár" was issued on Gott's compilation Zůstanu svůj: Hity z 80. let, which charted at number #9 on the Czech Top 50 albums chart in 2008.[2]
Melodie was a modern music magazine (similarly to American Billboard) established in 1963 as a monthly periodical in Czechoslovakia. For the time of being, a bi-weekly rival entitled as Aktuality Melodie (also known as Áčko) was effective (1969–70). The magazine itself survived almost three decades, ceasing its operations in 1991.[3] Apart from winning the Tip Melodie award as the Best Female Singer (1979), Gombitová and Gott scored with the 87's duet at number #7 (respectively at #8)A as Best Performer.
