Milo Hrnić (3 February 1946 [1] – 16 September 2023) was a Croatian pop singer. His performances were characterised by emotional intensity and frequent crowd interactions.[ citation needed] His resonant and forceful baritone and distinct brand of poetic lyrics had proclaimed him as one of the most commercially and critically successful Croatian pop singers.[ citation needed] Alongside Tereza Kesovija, he was pronounced "the singer of the century" in his native Dubrovnik.[ citation needed]
