He took the priority of the responsibility to disclose their actions in an appropriate manner. He was an artist, a multifaceted singer, who created and performed the original masterpieces of the twentieth century in Uzbek pop music. Botir Zokirov has managed to create masterpieces not only in pop, but also in opera, fine arts, poetry and cinema and many other spheres. He was an artist who created his own musical image, a school of performance. He has formed personality as a versatile creative person. The primary reason of this is his family environment, circumstances, and the fact that his parents were spiritually mature people. His father was an opera singer, Karim Zokirov. He was a soloist of the Uzbek State Opera and Ballet Theater named after Navoi. His mother, Shohista Saidova, worked at the Uzbek State Musical Theater named after Muqimiy. The young masterpiece creator, who often participated in creative meetings with the family, grew up in the ocean of theatrical evenings. METHODS The saying "From the very beginning of the child, it is obvious whom he will be" is not told in vain among our people. The prodigy's creative abilities began to sprout from his youth. He keeps his diary and thus his life seals his creative experiences with his own hands into the jewels of history. On the one hand, this gave him the opportunity to get to know himself better, and on the other hand, it was as if the creator was revealing his heart to his fans as if he felt he had little time. In 1952, Botir Zokirov, who began to develop fine and creative skills, successfully passed the exam in the department of vocal art. He describes this day in his "diary" with boundless joy. He was overjoyed to be engaged in his hobby. He studied the secrets and aspects of vocal art diligently and was also interested in opera. Working tirelessly, he and his sister Luiza Zokirova sang songs in foreign languages such as Azerbaijani, Tajik, Turkmen, Kyrgyz, Indian, Iranian, Afghan, and Arabic. It is obvious that the versatility of his work, his spiritual maturity, his ability to give the mood to the song he sings, reveals the uniqueness of Botir Zakirov. His musical image was also outstanding. That is perhaps because of the fact that “what comes out of the heart reaches the heart.” From this period begins a severe lung disease that has dusted the life of the singer, causing a relentless struggle between health and creativity for the rest of his life. This did not stand in the way of his own goal. In 1958, the first pop symphony orchestra began its work in Uzbekistan. Botir Zokirov and his sister Luiza Zokirova became soloists of the orchestra. In his creative years with the orchestra, he sings not only pop songs, but also classical songs and romans by famous Uzbek composers, including: Mutal Burhanov's song "Maftun bo'ldim" (I have become infatuated with you) and the novel "Namedonam, chi nom dorad", Sayfi Jalil's "Majnun monologi", “Kechalar yulduz sanab”.

Among other countries where the Uzbek people live, the Uzbek people have begun to promote their own direction and peculiarities of pop art. On the other hand, there is a special place for folklore, on the other hand, there are mature works created by Uzbek composers and performed by Botir Zokirov. Ikrom Akbarov's "Bahor fasli", "Ra’no", "Gazli", "Mahbubga", "Ketma nigor", "Qaydasan", "Yor, kel ”and“ Koshchinor ”are also unique. The artist entered the opera by writing a libretto for Ikrom Akbarov's opera "Sughd elining qoploni". I am writing about Botir Zokirov but I and my peers know Botir Zakirov only from his diary, as well as from the biblical information and articles written about him. His contemporary friends, who talked to him, walked with him can tell much about him as well. Yesterday I came across an article due to my research, which was published only a few days ago by journalist Ashurali Juraev. In his article, he quotes: “..... We have been waiting for this decision for thirty-five years. I still remember talking to Botir Zokirov on the eve of his 50th birthday to write an article for the newspaper called Uzbekiston Adabiyati va Sanati. Every meeting with Botir Zokirov was a holiday for me. "... God willing, I want to celebrate the anniversary in the Republican House of Cinematographers." There will be an exhibition of my paintings in the lobby. The songs will be performed in a large hall. There will be no compliments and praises as much as possible. People were tired of this. It is better to avoid from praise. This will be a unique summary in front of the fans. Everything will be held freely” said our great spiritual mentor Botir Zokirov. Unfortunately, his bright intentions and wonderful dreams did not come true. The great singer died on January 23, 1985, at the age of 49 due to a serious illness. After reading this article, I got to know Botir Zokirov better that I used to. I have witnessed how straightforward that man was, he was unchanged from success and he was far from "being proud of his achievements" My heart regretted the unfulfilled good intentions of Botir Zokirov. He could not even finish his studies at the conservatory because of his illness. Later he studied at the Tashkent Institute of Theater and Fine Arts (now Art and Culture) under the famous director Alexander Ganzburg. Whenever I was reading the diaries of Botir Zokirov tears welled up in my eyes. It was written in the following way: “It was January 15, alas! The operation was postponed to Friday. Hi, another disappointment! Yesterday's X-ray results came out and they were bad. I was strictly instructed to lie still in my bed. And recording the song is being postponed again and again. The relentless training was a waste. Here is a reward for my joy. The small hole in the lung has become bigger. This is the end of the last session. We can’t record the last song anyway. It's not Ikrom Akbarov's fault, it's my fault. Because we were excited and worried in vain. May the song not be recorded. I want bunch of things. The accursed patient does not obey me. But I shouldn’t leave it at that. In the evening Ikrom aka came. He was happy to see that I was healthy. All the orchestra Copyright © Author(s).

I am not well. I wrote a story during the day. This is probably my first story. I didn’t weave this story myself.
