Formed and led by guitarist and vocalist Momčilo Radenković, Zlatni Prsti were a prominent act of the Yugoslav rock scene in the 1970s.

In the late 1970s, with the emergence of Yugoslav new wave scne, the band changed their name to Nokaut (Serbian Cyrillic: Нокаут, trans.

Knockout) and made a slight turn towards new wave sound, but failed to maintain their popularity and disbanded at the beginning of the 1980s.

[1] During the same year, the band performed on the sixth BOOM Festival, alongside Cvrčak i Mravi, Leb i Sol, Tako, Suncokret, Zebra, Buldožer, Tomaž Domicelj, Parni Valjak, Smak, Vatreni Poljubac and other acts.

[1] They tried to keep up with younger acts with new wave-influenced songs published on 7-inch singles, but only their ballads saw moderate success, mostly thanks to Momčilo Radenković's raspy voice.

[1] In the late 1980s, Momčilo Radenković, Batalo and Trajković played on two albums by folk singer Boban Zdravković, Klinka (Little Girl, 1988) and Praštam ti, dušo (I Forgive You, My Darling, 1989), and the albums were released under the Boban Zdravković & Zlatni Prsti moniker.

[5] In 1999, Raglas Records released the compilation album Zlatna kolekcija (Golden Collection), for which some of the songs were rerecorded by Momčilo Radenković.
