Modern Talking

Biography

Modern Talking was a German pop duo consisting of arranger, songwriter and producer Dieter Bohlen and singer Thomas Anders. They have been referred to as Germany's most successful pop duo, and have had a number of hit singles, reaching the top 5 in many countries. Their most popular singles are "You're My Heart, You're My Soul", "You Can Win If You Want", "Cheri, Cheri Lady", "Brother Louie", "Atlantis Is Calling (S.O.S. for Love)" and "Geronimo's Cadillac". Ralf Stemmann was also one of the producers and can be heard playing the keyboard in their songs, especially in „Cheri Cheri Lady“. He did not get recognition for his work from Bohlen. Geff Harrison also was a writer for the first two Modern Talking albums. He filed a lawsuit against Bohlen in 1986 after Dieter did not credit him for the work he did for Modern Talking and C.C. Catch. Modern Talking worked together from 1983 to 1987, when they disbanded. They made a successful comeback, recording and releasing music again from 1998 to 2003. The duo released singles (many of which involved American rapper Eric Singleton) which again entered the top 10 in Germany and elsewhere, such as "You're My Heart, You're My Soul '98", a remake of the first version of their hit. By the duo's final break-up in 2003, they had reached 120 million of sales worldwide. After the duo broke apart, Anders went on to produce his album „Down on Sunset“ together with Stemmann in California.
