Lyubov' Zalmanovna Uspenskaya (Russian: Любо́вь За́лмановна Успе́нская), born Sitsker (Си́цкер), (b. 24 February 1954, Kiev, Ukrainian SSR, USSR) is a Soviet and Russian singer of Russian popular music, much of which is the so-called "urban romance" (Russian: городской романс, gorodskoy romans) style.
Lyubov Uspenskaya's mother died in childbirth, and was raised by her grandmother until the age of five. Then her father, Zalman Efromovich Sitsker, the director of the Kiev factory of household appliances, remarried, and they began to live with her stepmother.
From an early age Uspenskaya's father began to teach his daughter to play the accordion. Uspenskaya graduated from music school and the Kiev Glier Music College. She worked in Kiev, and recorded with Gregory Balberom . At the age of seventeen was invited by friends to work in Yerevan, Armenian SSR.
In 1978, along with her second husband Yuri, Uspenskaya emigrated from the Soviet Union. For a year, they lived in Italy and afterwards left for the United States. Only a few days after arriving in the United States Uspenskaya was invited to work in the "Sadko" Russian cabaret-restaurant. Uspenskaya lived in Brighton Beach, the Russian-Jewish neighborhood in Brooklyn. In 1985, she recorded her first album, "Beloved." In Russia, her recordings were promoted at first in the early 90's by Jeff Records and AVA Records of Ekaterinburg, and later from the mid 90's, by Soyuz Studios.
