Peter Schilling is a German musician active since 1976. He's released 20 albums over his career, original and compilations, and apparently has another planned for next year. Of all of those, this song is the only international hit to come. It was released in 1983 on the Error in the System album, and is a play off a David Bowie song. Schilling formed a band in the 2000's and has been playing concerts around Europe since. There's surprisingly not much for me to write about on him despite having a long career, but I'll chalk that up to him remaining mostly on one continent rather than going international for his whole career. Regardless this song broke the barrier and is one that I think most everybody knows so enjoy.
Peace.
