Ivo Robić (1923–2000) was a Croatian vocalist and songwriter who enjoyed success on the international music scene, especially in the mid-20th century. Known affectionately as "Mr. Morgen" after his 1959 international hit of the same name, Robić was one of the pioneers of popular music in the former Yugoslavia and the first to achieve substantial chart success outside of it. His velvet-toned voice and the charisma that came through his recordings made him a beloved figure in the realm of schlager music and beyond.

Robić's career was marked by a series of releases that not only earned him fame in his native Croatia and the broader Yugoslav context but also in Germany and the United States. With songs like "Morgen" (German for "Tomorrow") and "Mit 17 fängt das Leben erst an" ("Life Begins at 17"), he appealed to a romantic and nostalgic sensibility that transcended borders. Over the years, Ivo Robić released numerous albums, including "Pjeva Vam Ivo Robić," "Golden Star Collection," and "100 Originalnih Pjesama," with a repertoire spanning from the traditional Croatian ballads to the universal language of the pop ballad. His legacy is reflected in the myriad of compilations and remasterings released posthumously, such as the "Ultimate Star Collection" and the remastered edition of "Pjeva Vam Ivo Robić" from 2023, which stand as a testament to his enduring influence.
