MINISTAR BIŠKUPIĆ UPUTIO BRZOJAV SUĆUTI OBITELJI VICE VUKOVA
Poštovana obitelji,
u ime Ministarstva kulture i u osobno ime upućujem izraze iskrene
sućuti i poštovanja prema uspomeni na gospodina Vicu Vukova, uglednog
pjevača i saborskog zastupnika.
Svojim javnim djelovanjem na nacionalnoj kulturnoj sceni obilježio je
jedno veliko i vrlo značajno razdoblje hrvatske glazbe, a pamtimo ga
po nezaboravnim i jedinstvenim interpretacijama. Na njegov repertoar
od više stotina pjesama, pobjede na značajnim festivalima,
diskografsku produkciju te mnogobrojne koncerte i onaj posljednji iz
2005., danas nas sjećaju antologijske izvedbe pjesama Mirno teku
rijeke, Zvona moga grada, Pismo ćali, Bokeljska noć, Evo san ti doša,
Dobro mi došel, prijatel, Suza za zagorske brege ili Dalmatinska
elegija te Tvoja zemlja, koje su za njega, kao simboli ljubavi prema
domovini, imali najdublje osobno značenje.
Ostaje nam sjećanje na umjetnika izuzetne karijere i životne sudbine,
našega suvremenika kojemu je glazba obilježila život i učinila ga
jednim od velikana hrvatske glazbene scene.
