Luboš Pospíšil (born 6 September 1950) is a Czech singer-songwriter and guitarist, and the frontman of the pop-rock band 5P. In 1969, he was a founding member of C&K Vocal, and since he left the band, he has released twelve solo albums. Between 1988 and 1990, he was a member of Blue Effect.
Career
Pospíšil began his musical career in 1969 as a co-founder of the group C&K Vocal, together with Jiří Cerha, Ladislav Kantor, Petra Janů, Helena Arnetová, Milena Červená, and Karel Klos. He recorded the album Generation with the group in 1975. In the 1980s, he launched a solo career and in 1982, released his debut album, Tenhle vítr jsem měl rád, which included compositions by Ota Petřina and lyrics by Kantor. His second album, Love Prayer, was recorded with the group 5P and released in 1983. His next two albums, ...a nestřílejte na milence (1986) and Jsem v tom (1987), were both credited to the band, which included multi-instrumentalist Michal Pavlík (Čechomor, George & Beatovens) and drummer David Koller (Jasná Páka, Blue Effect, Lucie). 5P also included guitarist Bohumil Zatloukal (Jasná Páka), who worked on Pospíšil's next record, Vzdálená tvář, in 1993. The two have since occasionally toured together as an acoustic duo.
Between 1988 and 1990, Pospíšil sang and played guitar in the rock band Blue Effect. His only recording with them was the 1989 single "Kampa" and its B-side, "Úhel pohledu", both of which he wrote.
In 1998, Pospíšil recorded the album Můžem si za to oba with Bio-Graf. With 2008's Příznaky lásky, he returned to 5P and has remained with the band since. In 2011, they released the album Chutnáš po cizím ovoci,{{cite web |url=http://musicserver.cz/clanek/35401/lubos-pospisil-5p-chutnas-po-cizim-ovoci/ |title=5P: Stále jsme to my |last1=Průša |first1=Honza |date=2 August 2011 |website=Musicserver.cz |accessdate=20 June 2014 |language=Czech}} followed in 2014 by Soukromá elegie.{{cite web |url=http://musicserver.cz/clanek/47966/lubos-pospisil-vyda-koncem-zari-nove-album-soukroma-elegie/ |title=Luboš Pospíšil vydá koncem září nové album "Soukromá elegie" |last1=Menčík |first1=Milan |date=2 September 2014 |website=Musicserver.cz |accessdate=27 September 2014 |language=Czech}} Pospíšil's latest record, Poesis Beat, was released in 2021.{{cite news|title=Luboš Pospíšil pokřtí Poesis Beat |url=https://www.radiobeat.cz/cs/1/18767/lubos-pospisil-pokrti-poesis-beat/?q=Vojt%25C4%259Bch+Lindaur |website=radiobeat.cz |date=13 May 2022 |access-date=11 December 2022 |language=cs |trans-title=Luboš Pospíšil christens Poesis Beat}}
