You don't catch birds of paradise - a tribute to TAMARA DANZ with WOLFGANG MARTIN (author) & MANUEL SCHMID (Stern Meissen)
When the news agencies and radio stations announced the death of rock singer Tamara Danz on July 22, 1996, it became a sad certainty that what she had so poetically written from her soul in one of the most beautiful Silly songs would not happen: "Bye-bye, my Love" "I'll be back when the meadows bloom". One of the most important voices in German rock music had fallen silent forever.
In 1978, Tamara and like-minded musicians founded the Silly family, which was renamed Silly in 1982. From then on, they unstoppably stormed the German-speaking rock Olympus, with songs and LPs that are now described as "cult" and "classics", and Tamara Danz and Silly were stylized as "rock legends". All of her records from the 1980s were celebrated as "rock album of the year" by the GDR youth media: Mont Klamott, Liebeswalzer, Bataillon d'Amour, February.
With the support of the two Silly musicians Uwe Hassbecker and Ritchie Barton, music expert Wolfgang Martin remembers the extraordinary singer and woman, and in contributions and interviews allows companions such as Toni KrahlIn articles and interviews, music expert Wolfgang Martin remembers the extraordinary singer and woman and allows companions such as Toni Krahl, Werner Karma and Dirk Zöllner to have their say, selecting original texts and photographs from all phases of Tamara Danz's life for the book - the result is a moving tribute to a unique artist.
