==Career==
Ľubomír Stankovský was born on 23 August 1951 in [[Bratislava]], where he lived until his death. In 1967, he co-founded the rock band [[Modus (band)|Modus]] together with [[Ján Baláž]] and [[Miroslav Žbirka]]. Stankovský remained a member of Modus, playing drums, until 1973.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |title=Sklíčka dotykov smútia, zomrel Ľubo „Kyslík“ Stankovský, mal 72 rokov |url=https://www.rtvs.sk/novinky/osobnosti/356335/sklicka-dotykov-smutia-zomrel-lubo-kyslik-stankovsky-mal-72-rokov |access-date=2024-03-09 |website=rtvs.sk |language=sk}}</ref>
Following his departure from Modus, Stankovský continued his career as a rock and pop drummer through collaborations with a variety of artists. He recorded six albums with [[Vladimír Hronec]], [[Dežo Ursiny]], [[Milan Lasica]], [[Jaroslav Filip]] as well as the bands [[Elán (band)|Elán]], Prognóza, Burčiak and Provisorium.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Smutná správa: Zomrel Ľubo Kyslík Stankovský, spevák legendárneho hitu "Sklíčka dotykov" {{!}} Aktuality {{!}} Bratislavské noviny |url=https://www.bratislavskenoviny.sk/aktuality/79823-smutna-sprava-zomrel-lubo-kyslik-stankovsky-spevak-legendarneho-hitu-sklicka |access-date=2024-03-09 |website=www.bratislavskenoviny.sk |language=sk}}</ref>
In 1980s, Stankovský started to play with Modus again. In 1984, the song ''Ty, ja a môj brat,'' better known by the refrain lyric ''Odrazové sklíčka dotykov'' became a huge hit. The song, composed by [[Ján Lehotský]] with lyrics written by [[Kamil Peteraj]], was performed by Stankovský in an untraditional role of a lead singer. It was originally not intended as a hit single. In fact, it did not even get a [[Usic video|music video]] until 2023. Nonetheless, it became one of the biggest hits of the 1980s popular music in Czechoslovakia and remained among the most recognized Slovak songs even 40 years after it came out.<ref>{{Cite web |date=19 October 2023 |title=Spevák nesmrteľného hitu Stankovský: „Sklíčkam dotykov nikto neveril, aj po 40-tich rokoch sú stále tu!“ |url=https://tvnoviny.sk/domace/clanok/863061-spevak-nesmrtelneho-hitu-stankovsky-sklickam-dotykov-nikto-neveril-aj-po-40-tich-rokoch-su-stale-tu}}</ref>
