Krzysztof January Krawczyk ([ˈkʂɨʂtɔf ˈkraft͡ʂɨk]; 8 September 1946 – 5 April 2021[1]) was a Polish baritone pop singer, guitarist and composer.

[2] Krawczyk learned to play the guitar on his own, whereas his vocal abilities were practised when he attended secondary school of music in Łódź.

In the 1970s he recorded several successful songs such as Parostatek (The steamship), Pokochaj moje marzenia (Love my dreams), Pamiętam Ciebie z tamtych lat (I remember you from those years) or Ostatni raz zatańczysz ze mną (You'll dance with me that last time).

They released several humoristic songs around 1985, e.g. Mężczyzna po czterdziestce (The man in his forties) and Dziewczyny, które mam na myśli that borrowed melodies from Willie Nelson and Julio Iglesias' To all the girls I loved before (1984).

The 1982 LP, "From a Different Place", was distributed nationally; a single, "Solidarity", received heavy airplay in several cities, especially Chicago.

[citation needed] After a return to Poland in the mid 1980s, he underwent tonsil surgery and spent a year living in Kołobrzeg to recover his voice.

In the late 1990s Krawczyk changed his image from a "discotheque playboy" to a mature middle-aged artist who propagated family values.

He sang with other artists, such as Andrzej Piaseczny, Edyta Bartosiewicz, Muniek Staszczyk, Goran Bregović and Rod Stewart.

In 2000, Krzysztof Krawczyk performed for Pope John Paul II in Saint Peter's Square in Vatican City.
