:''For the town in the Netherlands see [[Heino (Netherlands)]].''
'''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]].
