A bard sings his poetry accompanied by a simple instrument. Combine into one person the American bards Bob Dylan, Phil Ochs, Leonard Cohen, Tom Paxton, and others. Add the mass popularity of Elvis Presley and the Beatles. This will give you something approaching Vladimir Vysotsky. His creative career spanned the 60s and 70s. A few of his songs were released on official recordings. The many albums released after his death in July 1980 were compiled from numerous private recordings. No books containing his work were published during his life. Many began appearing after his death, including a definitive 8-volume collection published in Germany in 1994. He wrote more than 700 songs.
