Have to over a certain age to know of him. Bit of a musical legend in his own way(middle-of the-road big-band arrangements), very popular.

Not really that much age, if you are into German pop music... he was really a great dude.

His music might have been hated by the critics, but a lot of it are real masterpieces - Kill Bill would have been only bloody without his music.

Should have guessed he would be in demand as a producer! Known best here for his concerts.

Well, he was really never a producer... but he was also a prolific song writer for other artists, including Elvis Presley.

(And one of the best bass players in Germany)
