Zlatni Decaci (The Golden Boys) were formed in 1962. Their first name was The Tigers but advised by Nikola Karaklajic - famous Yugoslav international chess player and journalist - they change it into Zlatni Decaci. In the beginning they played on parties. Beat music was taboo in early 60s for many radio programs. So, they made beat covers of 4 classical music parts just to be played on radio. Their friend and big fan - Nikola Karaklajic brought those recordings to Holland. Fontana put it out as 7"EP of Golden Boys. Next year the same record comes out in Yugoslavia. Very soon they become popular and their next single is sold out in 100000 copies. In 1966 they are going as young chess players to England with their big fan Nikola - as chess players they didn't have many problems to get visa's for U.K. There they play few gigs - mixing famous beat and Yugoslav folk covers. After that they record one of the best selling 60s records in Yugoslavia together with famous singer Miki. "18 zutih ruza" EP was sold out in 200000 copies. On that EP they covered "The House of the Rising Sun". They split up in 1967 after Beogradsko prolece festival.
