Modern Talking was a German Dance pop duo consisting of Thomas Anders and Dieter Bohlen
|
Genre-wise they were often classified under Europop. Modern Talking, who by sales are the most successful and popular group in Germany, have had number of hit singles reaching the top-5 in many countries. Some of their most popular and widely known singles are "You're My Heart, You're My Soul", "You Can Win If You Want", "Cheri Cheri Lady", "Brother Louie", "Atlantis Is Calling (S.O.S. for Love)" and "Geronimo's Cadillac".
Their materials have been released over a period of two separate time tables, first between 1984-1987, then the duo found itself reunified in 1998 and made a successful comeback releasing another batch of materials between 1998-2003. Modern Talking's sound; however, was rather different from its original 80s sound after its reunion. The duo came back in 1998 recording their materials based on what the demand was in central European music markets at the time in late 90s, which required their original 80s mellow Europop sound to switch into 90s uptempo Eurodance.
