Modern Talking
was formed in Germany in 1984. It consisted of two members:
Dieter Bohlen
and Thomas Anders.
Their first single You're My Heart,
You're My Soul was released late
in 1984 and by early 1985 it was a huge hit in Germany as well
as in most non-English speaking European and Asian countries.
The hits kept following one another for the next couple of years.
Among the more noted ones were: Cheri
Cheri Lady, Brother
Louie and Geronimo's
Cadillac.
What
made this group popular (they sold millions of copies of
their albums!) was the fact that Dieter knew what people
wanted, namely, emotional, easy to listen dance songs. His music
combined with an angelic voice of Thomas produced a fail-free
recipe. Unfortunately, Modern Talking lasted barely three years.
After misunderstandings between Dieter, Thomas and his wife
Nora, the group split up in 1987 after their musical contract
had expired. Dieter concentrated on his new project Blue
System and Thomas went solo.
To
really appreciate their music, one would have had to live in
Europe in that period. Even though some might say that their
music is naive and simple and, may be, lacks substance, it is
still one of the great things that happened in the Disco era.
Eastern European and Asian countries still adore their music,
people still buy their CDs, Dieter and Thomas still hold concerts
in Moscow (not together though). In other words, Modern
Talking is very much alive and, I think, will be for a long
time yet.
