Here comes edition 3 of the Music genre to mention famous Germans. Modern Talking is probably the Band in Germany 99% of the population will deny they ever bought a record or listened anything of them. Hence interestingly they are the best selling German Act of all times. Dieter Bohlen was producer and guitar player and is the most successful producer/songwriter in German music biz with more than 500 gold and 50 platinum records.
