Modern Talking, consisting of producer / songwriter Dieter Bohlen and vocalist Thomas Anders, was formed in 1984 in Berlin by Hansa.
The studio line-up (80s) also included Luis Rodriguez, Ralf Stemmann, Rolf Köhler, Michael Scholz, Detlef Wiedeke and Birger Corleis.
At the end of 1987, Thomas Anders & Dieter Bohlen went their separate ways. In 1998 they reunited.
They split for good on 21.06.2003 (the date of their last concert after earlier announcement by Dieter Bohlen on 07.06.2003 during concert in Rostock).
How does the album version of "You're My Heart, You're My Soul" differ from the Extended Version of the song? They sound identical to me. Also, has the original 7" version of the song been remastered and included on a CD?
EVERY russian household had MT's records back in 1986/88. Slightly altered versions of their 2nd and 3rd album were released by state-running Melodiya label. That was giant leap of Glasnost and Perestroika that the modern western pop come to communist state. Millions were pressed, because everybody wanted to buy those records. I presume that no less than 50.000.000 of their albums were sold in USSR alone.
Let's Talk About Love was in argentina,quadruple gold maintaining the top spot in sales of all Latin America, (as happened in the next 5 albums), and maintaining the top spot in sales of all Latin America, as happened in the next 5 albums, Greetings!!! for 1 month "Cheri Cheri Lady" was in first place in the chart of Argentina. Greetings!!! Greetings!!!
I had the opportunity of purchasing my first 7" at the time these guys released "You can win if you want". They were my favourite group at a stage. They were also featured on a lot of South African compilation releases, proving just how obviously popular they were. Years had gone by and the "Back For Good" album set the stage for other artists like CC Catch, Fancy & others to rehash their work. As a DJ playing to audiences with patrons having varied preferences, they have been the most popular with their hits remixed. Even with Dieter Bohlen's work under the guise of Blue System, their popularity was in one word still HUGE!
