'''Heino''' (born [[13 December]] [[1938]] in [[Düsseldorf]] as '''Heinz Georg Kramm''') is a [[Germany|German]] singer of popular music ([[Schlager]]) and traditional [[Volksmusik]]. With his booming voice, bright [[blonde hair]], and ever present [[sunglasses]] (due to [[Graves-Basedow disease]]), Heino is considered a [[national treasure]] in his native [[Germany]], and an icon of [[kitsch]] in the English-speaking world - no doubt due to his resemblance to [[Andy Warhol]] and the [[Latin American]] themes of many of his songs lending themselves to jokes about [[ODESSA|German emigration to South America]] after [[World War II]]. ==Heino's biggest hits== <!-- Commented out because image was deleted: [[Image:Heino album.jpg|thumb|right|350px|Heino on the cover of his ''Great Hits no.5'']] --> * ''Jenseits des Tales'' (1966) * ''Wenn die bunten Fahnen wehen'' (1967) * ''Wir lieben die Stürme'' (1968) * ''Zu der Ponderosa reiten wir'' (1968) * ''Bergvagabunden'' (1969) * ''Wenn die Kraniche zieh'n'' (1969) * ''Karamba, Karacho, ein Whisky'' (1969) * ''In einer Bar in Mexico'' (1970) * ''Hey Capello'' (1970) * ''Mohikana Shalali'' (1971) * ''Blau blüht der Enzian'' (1972) * ''Carneval in Rio'' (1972) * ''Tampico'' (1973) * ''La Montanara'' (1973) * ''Edelweiß'' (1973) * ''Schwarzbraun ist die Haselnuss'' * ''Das Polenmädchen'' (1974) * ''Die schwarze Barbara'' (1975) * ''Komm in meinen Wigwam'' (1976) * ''Bier,Bier,Bier'' (1980) ==External links== {{Commons|Category:Heino|Heino}} *[http://www.heino.de/ Heino's official homepage] *[http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/5991/ The Heino Worship Page] A tongue-in-cheek look at Heino and his music <!-- Metadata: see [[Wikipedia:Persondata]] --> {{Persondata |NAME =Heino |ALTERNATIVE NAMES =Heinz Georg Kramm |SHORT DESCRIPTION =Singer of [[Schlager]] songs an German [[folk music]] |DATE OF BIRTH =[[December 13]], [[1938]] |PLACE OF BIRTH =[[Düsseldorf]]-[[Düsseldorf-Bilk|Oberbilk]] |DATE OF DEATH = |PLACE OF DEATH = }} [[Category:German pop singers]] [[Category:German male singers]] [[Category:German-language singers]] [[Category:People from Düsseldorf]] [[Category:1938 births]] [[Category:Living people]] [[Category:Schlager]] [[da:Heino]] [[de:Heino]] [[es:Heino]] [[fr:Heino]] [[nl:Heino (zanger)]]
