# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born 14 July 1939, Gott built a career that spanned the Cold War's hardest years and outlasted the state that first made him famous. He released over 100 studio albums and another 100 compilations, moving between Czech, German, and Russian repertoires with enough fluency to win the Goldene Stimmgabel three times by 1995. Sales estimates run between 50 and 100 million records worldwide — 23 million in German-speaking Europe, 15 million across Czechoslovakia and its successor states. He last took the Český slavík in 2017, two years before his death on 1 October 2019, the vote a final confirmation of a grip on popular affection that never really loosened.
