In September 1984, “You’re My Heart, You’re My Soul” was released as a single, thus beginning the success story of Modern Talking. The record started out as a hot tip on the play list of West Germany Radio DJ’s, entered the Radio Charts, then stormed every possible hit parade in Europe.
Within the space of a few days, record sales were being counted in their hundreds of thousands. The unpretentious title of their album début, namely “The First Album” was to take the unbelievable success of Modern Talking to even newer heights, becoming the number-one-selling album in Germany and other countries in the world. It also yielded another monster hit “You Can Win If You Want”, which immediately replaced “You’re My Heart, You’re My Soul” in the chart at the pole-position.
The third hit “Cheri Cheri Lady” repeated the sensational sales figures of the previous records, and the second album “Let’s Talk About Love” confirmed their status as a worldwide super group. From such a basis, Modern Talking has proved that belief in an intelligent musical concept can be the foundation of professional acceptance in the world of music, but still more importantly, acceptance by fans, who are the deciding factor.
“Ready For Romance”, the third album features two chart-topping hits, “Brother Louie” and “Atlantis Is Calling (S.O.S. For Love) ”, and underlines the musical qualities of this unique pop formation: harmonious rhythm, subtle understatement and a contagious vitality which would turn many superstars green with envy. The competition for the No.1 position in the charts all over Europe was simply useless and unfair because this one smashing MT-hit could not be surpassed except only by another MT-smash-hit.  дальше »
