Formed and led by vocalist and keyboardist Boban Petrović, Zdravo were a prominent act of the 1970s Yugoslav popular music scene.
[1] Having gathered several handsome teenagers and several promising musicians from Belgrade, Petrović intended to form a band which would perform communicative disco and funk music.
[1] The first lineup consisted of Boban Petrović (vocals, keyboards), Dragan Jovanović (guitar, later a member of the hard rock band Generacija 5), Branko Kojić (bass guitar, later a member of the new wave band Grupa I), Vlastimir Cvetković (drums), and vocalists and dancers Boža Jeremić, Vladislav Kukolj, and Branko Popović.
The same year also saw ZKP RTLJ release his debut solo album, Žur (Party), recorded in New York City with studio musicians.
Although some of its tracks—"Prepad" ("The Raid"), "Đuskaj" ("Dance") and "Kupatilo je shvatilo" ("The Bathroom Realised")—became minor hits, the record did not manage the level of success Petrović had envisioned for it.
[4] In 2008, Macom Records published a new edition of Rokanje and reissued Žur with bonus materials consisting of several tracks, videos and a newsreel about Petrović made by a Spanish TV station.
