Biography

Showing the Discogs bio

German poet and songwriter, born 14 April 1910 in Krefeld, Germany, died 2 August 1982 in Pollença, Majorca, Spain. He wrote more than 3500 song-lyrics and worked as a producer from 1951 to 1982. His production company "Musikproduktion Feltz" had the short cut MPF. Additionally, he also acted as screenwriter.
Kurt Feltz was an ambiguous personality during his most popular period. He was known to play his own songs on the radio channels, he was musical director.
He was sacked for this at NWDR in 1949, but soon made similar things on self-founded channels (MPF-based). He also started to use aliases in order to gain more money for airplay of his own songs, as in that time, the number of airplays per week per songwriter was limited.
