Heino
A Festive German Christmas
Peters International - PLD 7064
1969


Heino is the most successful German folk (Volksmusik) singer of all times. His characteristics are the blond hair, the omnipresent dark shades and the clear, baritone singing voice.

He has sold more than 30 million records in the last 30 years and has become one of the most beloved and famous persons in the German speaking part of the world (98% of all Germans know him - only surpassed by Chancellor Helmut Kohl - 99%).

This album was released in 1969 and it's an epic.  Side one is one gigantic Christmas medley (nineteen songs - nineteen minutes in length, all in German!).  Side two is a collection of religious Christmas songs (all in German again).

The Blonde One recently went on a farewell tour so who knows if we've seen or heard the last from him.

Glückliches Hören…  (aka Happy listening...)

As creepy as Heino looks on this album sleeve, this is not the creepiest photo that I've seen of him.

Thanks for the share.

Thank you ever so much for this record. I've been wishing for a records with Heino for so long. Yes there are a number of interesting pictures of him and if you (I used one at my blog http://juligen.blogspot.com/2007/11/christmasparty-at-club-sunkit.html).
