Modern Talking

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 

Modern Talking was a German Synthpop duo consisting of Thomas Anders and Dieter Bohlen.^[2] Their music has often been classified as Europop.^[3] They have been referred to as Germany's most successful pop duo,^[4] and have had a number of hit singles, reaching the top 5 in many countries. Some of their most popular and widely known 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".

Modern Talking worked together from 1984 to 1987, when the band split up. In 1998 they reunited and made a successful comeback, recording and releasing music from 1998 to 2003. To accommodate central European music markets of the late 1990s, they changed their original 1980s mellow Europop sound to up-tempo Eurodance. The duo released singles which again entered the top 10 in Germany and abroad. Some of those singles were "You're My Heart, You're My Soul '98", "Brother Louie '98", and "You Are Not Alone".
