Gerd Günther Grabowski (born 4 December 1949), better known by his stage name G. G. Anderson, is a German Schlager singer,[1] composer, and music producer.

Life and career

[edit]

Gerd Grabowski was born on 4 December 1949 in Eschwege, Hesse, Germany.[2][3]

After completing his apprenticeship, he became an electrician,[4] while composing, arranging, and singing. His musical career began at age 15 in 1964 as a member of "The Rackets", a band emulating The Beatles,[3] in 1968 he sang with the Blue Moons at the Burg Herzberg Festival, and from 1970 to 1972 in the band "Love and Tears" (Michael Holm's backing group). In 1973 he became a solo artist under the name "Alexander Marco", from 1977 to 1979 as "Tony Bell" and since 1980 has performed under the name "G. G. Anderson".[5]

His success as a singer began in 1981. His most famous titles are "Mama Lorraine", which reached Number 10 on the German charts,[6] "African Baby", "Am weißen Strand von San Angelo", "Nein heißt Ja", "Sommernacht in Rom", "Sommer, Sonne, Cabrio", "Rosalie", "Mädchen, Mädchen",『Wenn Tirol am Nordpol wär』and "Weiße Rosen schenk' ich Dir". In 1988, he was fourth in the German preliminary decision for the Eurovision Song Contest with the song "Hättest Du heut’ Zeit für mich?". The folk music duo Wildecker Herzbuben emerged from his backing group, for which Anderson also composed hit titles. He celebrated his 60th birthday in 2009 with a gala concert, Das große Wunschkonzert spezial, televised by NDR.[4][7]

He has composed for a number of singers, including "The Spanish Night is Over", a hit for Engelbert Humperdinck.[3]

Anderson has been an honorary citizen of the city of Eschwege since July 1997. Among his other awards are Belgischer Rundfunk's Goldene Antenne (1992),[8] the Goldene Stimmgabel, and seven ZDF-Hitparade wins.[4]

Personal life

[edit]

Anderson married his second wife, Monika, in 1987.[9] He has two children;[2] his son Philipp is mentally disabled and autistic.[10]
