Freddy Quinn: Freddy Quinn - Die Autobiografie

(Edition Koch) Paperback, German, 264 pages, with numerous private photos of Freddy Quinn, 240 x 138 x 20 mm

‘I was everything—except a lonely sailor!’

You should never call Freddy Quinn a pop singer. It makes him grumpy. He is much more than that: a trained singer, circus artist, actor, presenter, and entertainer. With his unmistakable voice, Freddy Quinn shaped the attitude to life of an entire generation. Twenty-three top ten hits, major films, and unforgettable moments on stage made him one of the most dazzling figures in German show business. But there is much more behind the legend of the lonely sailor—and that is exactly what Freddy Quinn now wants to reveal for the first time, more than 15 years after he retired from the stage.

From circus artist to superstar

Quinn's youth was marked by a thirst for adventure and discovery. He fled from his stepfather and left high school to go abroad, joined the circus, and even served in the Foreign Legion before finally being discovered at the Washington Bar in Hamburg—the starting point of his phenomenal career. The 1950s and 1960s became his golden decades: Freddy Quinn filled concert halls, his songs told of longing, home and wanderlust. He sold more than 60 million records, shared the stage with legends such as Johnny Cash and Jerry Lee Lewis, and became a celebrated film star.

Honest insights into an eventful life

Freddy Quinn was always in the public eye, but rarely did anyone know what he was really like inside. His private life was a well-kept secret. Only now, at the age of 93, is Freddy Quinn ready to tell his whole story: his most beautiful and important moments, but also the deep valleys he has gone through—such as his trial for tax evasion. His wedding at the ripe old age of 91 is part of his late happiness. And his final farewell to the public.
