Vassil Naydenov (Cyrillic: Васил Найденов) is a Bulgarian singer-songwriter who rose to prominence in his native country and the Eastern bloc during the late 1970s and 1980s.

[1] Naydenov was born on 3 September 1950 in Sofia, Bulgaria.

For example, he was the frontman of the famous Bulgarian progressive rock-group "Diana Express" between 1973 and 1979.

However, he is renowned mostly for his solo career, which started in 1979 with his first hit "А дали е така"(Is It Really So?).

Despite strict government regulations in popular music, his career quickly gained momentum throughout the 1980s, as he churned out hit after hit such as "По първи петли" (1980), "Любовта продължава", "Мелодия на годината", "Телефонна любов" (all three released in 1982), "Междучасие" (A break/ Recess, by songwriter Jivko Kolev/ Живко Колев), "Чудо" (both in 1983) and "Сбогом казах" (1985).
