Kris Kelmi
Kris Kelmi (born Anatoli Arievich Kelmi, Russian: Анатолий Арьевич Кельми;[1][2] 21 April 1955 – 1 January 2019[3]) was a Soviet and Russian rock and pop musician and composer.[4] He was a member of the bands Leap Summer, Autograph, and Rock Atelier.[5] Some of his most well-known songs are Night Rendezvous,[1] Closing the Ring,[6] and Tired Taxi.[7][8] Most online sources indicated that Kelmi was a pseudonym, and the musician's surname was Kalinkin. Kelmi denied this version.[9] Kelmi believed that he most likely was Lithuanian on his father's side, explaining that there is a town in Lithuania called Kelmė, which is consonant with his last name. Kris took the nickname in 1972, after Dr. Kris Kelvin, the hero of Stanisław Lem's novel, Solaris.[10]
