Ivica Percl (1945-2007): Stari Pjer, original Croatian version of the song
| Ivica Percl (1945-2007) was Croatian singer, composer and painter, who accompanied his singing with his guitar and harp. His best known song is Stari Pjer, composed by Đorđe Novković. It is very little known that this song was beautifully interpreted by a famous Greek singer Nana Mouskouri, in French and in German. In this article we collect some of their interpretations of the song, as well as by a few other singers. As a musician, he took part in defense of Croatia with his guitar on warious Croatian battlefields, since 1991. He was a very modest and unassuming person. Ivica Percl rođen je 1. siječnja 1945. godine u Zagrebu, Hrvatska, gdje uz redovno školovanje završava i Muzičku školu Vatroslav Lisinski. Medijsku popularnost stekao je kao rock-pjevač i gitarist sredinom šezdesetih godina kada dobiva prvog protestnog pjevača u nas. Koncem šezdesetih i u sedamdesetim godinama sve se više posvećivao kantautorskom i šansonjerskom pozivu, gdje je postiza zamjetne rezultate, a čime se profesionalno bavio od 1966. do svoje smrti 2007.  Crtanjem se bavio od najranije mladosti, a od 1959. pohađao je i razne tečajeve keramike, drvorezbarstva, te slikarstva. Slikanjem u tehnici ulja na staklu bavio se od 1970. godine. Prve poduke dao mu je naivni slikar Ivan Generalić, da bi kasnije kao vanjski suradnik Majstorske radionice Krste Hegedušićaa dvije godine slikao pod likovnim vodstvom prof. Krste Hegedušića, a potom pod nadzorom slikara Dušana Maleševića. Izlagao je na više skupnih izložbi. Od 1989. godine bio je član je Društva naivnih likovnih umjetnika Hrvatske (DNLUH), Društva karikaturista Hrvatske i Društva skladatelja Hrvatske. Od mnogih javnih nastupa (uključujući i u selima) i izložaba, spomenimo samo ove dvije: 1993. Likovni umjetnici za mir, Galerija Vatroslav Lisinski, Zagreb 1993.
