Miroslav Ilić (Serbo-Croatian Cyrillic: Мирослав Илић; born 10 December 1950) is a Serbian singer. Born in the village of Mrčajevci near Čačak, he made his recording debut whilst still in elementary school. Ilić came to prominence upon the release of his 1972 single "Voleo Sam Devojku Iz Grada".[1][2]
Referred to as the "Nightingale from Mrčajevci" (Slavuj iz Mrčajevaca), Ilić is known for referencing the ethos of his native region, Šumadija, in his songs.[1] With sales of over eight million records in the former Yugoslavia, he is one of the most commercially successful Serbian folk singers of all time.[3] Moreover, his 1982 album was sold in 900,000 copies, becoming the third best-selling studio album from the SFR Yugoslavia.[4]
In December 2022, Ilić celebrated fifty years of his career in music by performing two consecutive concerts in the Belgrade Arena.[5]
In addition to music, he starred in the 1981 film Sok od šljiva and served as a judge on the singing competition Pinkove Zvezde (2014-2016)
