Ryszard Riedel Biography

Ryszard Riedel is one of the most popular and richest Singer who was born on September 7, 1956 in Chorzów, Silesian Voivodeship, Poland.

Ryszard Henryk Riedel (7 September 1956 – 30 July 1994) – was the original lead singer of blues-rock band Dżem (Polish for ‘Jam’). He is often regarded as one of the most popular and well known Polish vocalist, along with an occasional collaborator Czesław Niemen. Riedel’s legacy is remembered by an annual festival, bearing his name, held in his home town of Chorzów, which was moved from Tychy in 2009. He has become one of the most powerful vocalist of Polish music just after Czesław Niemen.

Riedel’s direct cause of death was cardiac insufficiency due to a long time opiate drug abuse — especially a type of crude-prepared heroin known as “kompot”.

Ryszard Henryk Riedel was born on 7 September 1956 in Chorzów. He was the second child of Krystyna and Jan Riedel—his sister Małgorzata is one year older. He finished his education after the 7th grade of primary school. He was a self-taught vocalist and he had never attended a singing course. His wide musical influences included bands like Free (Paul Rodgers was Riedel`s favourite vocalist), and later, Bad Company, Cream, The Allman Brothers Band, and The Doors. At the beginning of his career he was asked to join Kombi, but he turned down the offer. In December 1973, at the age of 17, he joined Dżem. During the band’s initial years he was instrumental in keeping it together. His lyrics contained many autobiographical pieces, because he used his life as the inspiration for many, if not all, of his songs. Throughout his career he collaborated with many Polish artists: Rysiek Skibiński, Leszek Winder, Józef Skrzek, and bands Nocna Zmiana Bluesa, to name a few. In the later years of his singing career he became a heavy drug user (mainly heroin), which led to numerous arguments within the band, and subsequently resulted in Ryszard living his life as an outsider: he skipped rehearsals many times, and even managed not to show up for his concerts. This lifestyle was the inspiration for the 1993 song “Autsajder” (Outsider), in which he states that he will never change: “Ja już nigdy się nie zmienię” Despite his deteriorating health condition, the band continued to collaborate with him until he was forced to attend another failed drug detoxification (detox) campaign in 1994. His last Concert with the band “Dżem” was on 16 March 1994 in Kraków.
