Blue Peak changed to Blue Hill, this was also the official contemporary translation and appears in other sources. That's why I changed also the names of the two compilation albums |

Dežo Ursiny (IPA: ['deʒo 'ʊrsini]) (4 October 1947 - 2 May 1995) was a Slovak rock musician and a television and film dramaturge and director. He is considered one of the most important personalities of Slovak rock music and one of the most talented and unique Slovak popular music composers. He belongs to the wide group of the legends of Czechoslovak Big Beat.[1] He was a member of now legendary big beat bands The Beatmen and The Soulmen in the mid-sixties, a progressive rock band Provisorium at the turn of the decade, and since the mid-seventies until his death he had pursued a solo-career, composing music artistically very sophisticated and critically highly praised, but which is often difficult to define. He composed music to several films, including a popular musical Neberte nám princeznú and also shot a few documentary movies during his lifetime. He died of cancer.

Notes
- ^ Big Beat being the name used in Czechoslovakia (and some other countries of the then eastern Europe) that originally indicated the music genre equivalent to what had become known as Beat music in the early 1960s in the western world and later, by the end of 1960s had been used to indicate practically all the underground rock music. It remained in public use for at least one following decade, often referring to rock generally, but it is today used more or less to indicate all the underground rock music of the 1960s, till the early 1970s.
