History

1980s

First formed at the end of 1984 (Anders was 21), they unexpectedly became immensely popular with their standalone disco hit "You're My Heart, You're My Soul", which was then followed by "You Can Win If You Want" and "Cheri, Cheri Lady". They released two albums a year between 1985 and 1987 while also promoting their singles on television all over Europe.

Dieter Bohlen, Thomas Anders in the 1987 "Romantic Warriors" Album

Modern Talking were successful in Europe, Asia, South America, Middle East, particularly in Iran, where all Western pop music was banned after 1979 Islamic revolution, and several African countries. In the United Kingdom they entered the top ten only once with the song "Brother Louie" (in 1986, #4 UK). They did not feel very good about promoting their singles there due to being marketed in England as a gay group like Erasure and Culture Club. In their videos and tv performances after this hit, Bohlen and Anders were usually shown standing far apart. Since 1985 Anders had also been wearing a necklace which spelled out his girlfriend's name in gold letters. Like most European pop groups, they were almost unknown in North America, never appearing in the US charts, although they did become one hit wonders in Canada when 'Brother Louie' hit #34 in 1987. Composer Dieter Bohlen employed mood-evoking lyrics and intellectually-designed synthesizer-based music which was out of vogue in the U.S. before Modern Talking even formed. Those that know of Modern Talking in North America are either avid fans of Eurodance and/or Dance-pop or one of the few DJ's that play their songs in clubs here and there.

1990s/2000s

After splitting up in 1987, the duo reunited in 1998, at first only testing the waters with new versions of hit singles and again reaching the top of the charts unexpectedly. A series of singles and albums followed. Bohlen and Anders split again in 2003 due to Bohlen having insufficient time to deal with so many projects. His involvement in Deutschland Sucht Den Superstar aka DSDS, the German edition of the UK's Pop Idol, was one of the major reasons, and he said he knew it was best to stop while still on top. Thomas Anders started another solo career immediately, while Bohlen had by now begun devoting most of his time to new talents, especially those he discovered on DSDS.

Production and sales figures

The songs before the first split were produced in a style that can be vaguely described as Euro Disco. At the time (mid 80s) central/east and southern Europeans, used to call this music style "Italo-disco". Also, many dance schools in Eastern Europe, used to teach this music style in a discofox way, so some remember it as "discofox". In 1998 Bohlen quoted the hit single "Precious Little Diamond" by Fox the Fox as his inspiration for using falsetto choruses. Further influences include German-language Schlager music, disco pop (Bee Gees) and romantic English-language songs of Italian and French origin, like Gazebo's "I Like Chopin". Some of the lyrics were reminiscent of Hot Chocolate. After the 1998 reunion Bohlen produced Eurodance (with heavy mid 90s euro-house influences), as well as American-style MOR ballads. The term Euro-Disco first used during the 70s, to describe the non UK based disco productions and artists. ... Discofox or Disco Fox is a social partner dance evolved in Europe in mid-seventies as a rediscovery of the dance hold in the improvisational disco dance scene dominated by solo dancing, approximately at the same time when hustle emerged in the United States. ...

The songs where originally recorded using up to five background singers; in live situations the songs were performed using playback. Anders did begin to perform the songs live when he toured the world shortly after the break-up. In the late 90's Bohlen and Anders went on their first official tours under the band name.

Global sales of Modern Talking records were 120 million units, according to BMG in June 2003, and they have become the biggest-selling German music act in history, so far outselling even Frank Farian's projects Boney M and Milli Vanilli, Michael Cretu's Enigma, Sandra, the Scorpions, Snap! and Rammstein.

Dieter Bohlen also worked with other artists even while Modern Talking existed, among them Chris Norman of Smokie fame whose song "Midnight Lady" (1986) remains Bohlen's most popular composition. He also wrote a large number of disco tracks for C.C.Catch ("House of Mystic Lights") using an accelerated, less romantic sound. Some English Bohlen songs like "You're My Heart, You're My Soul" were also recorded with German lyrics by Mary Roos using the same playback tracks. When Modern Talking split up in 1987, a number of tracks written for the last album were instead moved onto Dieter Bohlen's first solo album which appeared almost at the same time, among them his first solo single "Sorry Little Sarah". Bohlen's solo project was called Blue System, although it was basically him, Modern Talking co-producer Luis Rodriguez, and the familiar background singers. At the time, a lot of listeners couldn't get used to the voice "changing" while the music stayed similar. The success of Blue System in Germany declined after the third album and Bohlen later admitted that he lost touch with developments in the music scene.

Solo careers

In 2006 Bohlen included a secret message in his song "Bizarre Bizarre" which was played backwards: "There will never be an end to Modern Talking". However, Bohlen said he was referring to the existing music, and Anders also reaffirmed that the group will never be back. Anders has kept the Modern Talking songs in his repertoire and produced songs in a similar vein for his solo records ("Independent Girl"). In 2006 he produced an album of Swing and Jazz versions of popular songs (including Modern Talking's first hit). Bohlen has written two autobiographical books, one of which also detailed Modern Talking's history from his perspective, sold a million copies in Germany. The sequel was heavily criticised for his unfairness towards the people he worked with. As a result of that, he withdrew from the public for a year until 2006, when he said he regretted putting out the second book. Anders had not been the only one pressing charges against Bohlen and demanding that sections of the book be modified. Frank Farian was angered by Bohlen's literary output and released a book in which he tried to expose Bohlen as a fraud, but this didn't get down well with the public, either. Bohlen's first book was the basis of an animated comedy film called Dieter - Der Film. The soundtrack of this film contained one previously unreleased Modern Talking song ("Shooting Star") which had obviously been written for the Universe album. Anders recently had his first and Bohlen his fourth child. Frank Farian (born Franz Reuther on July 18, 1941) is a German music producer, singer, and songwriter. ... Film is a term that encompasses individual motion pictures, the field of film as an art form, and the motion picture industry. ...

Bohlen and Anders split again. Bohlen went on to the German version of Pop Idol and Anders became a musician on its own after being the "second violine" in the shadow of the flamboyant Bohlen. Pop Idol was a British television series which debuted on ITV on October 5, 2001; the show was a talent contest to decide the best new young pop singer, or pop idol, in the United Kingdom, based on viewer voting and participation. ...
