Bernd Spier (born April 6, 1944 in Ludwigslust , Mecklenburg ; † December 30, 2017 in East Friesland ) was a German pop singer .

Live and act

Spier was the son of the musician Robby Spier , who was the conductor of the Hessischer Rundfunkorchester in Frankfurt am Main for many years and who sang a record in 1955 with the title Two Blue Eyes . There and at the Goetheschule in Dieburg , Bernd Spier also attended school and grammar school and completed his Abitur. At this time he often accompanied the morning radio broadcast Frankfurter Wecker as a background musician , in which Peter Frankenfeld and Hans-Joachim Kulenkampff also appeared. As a result, the record company CBS became aware of him in 1963 . His first record Today with me , however, was a failure. It was only with the publication of the song Das You Can't Forbid Me produced by Hans Bertram in December 1963 that he achieved his breakthrough on the pop market. In 1966 he and his brother Uwe recorded the singles Mir geht's wunderbar and Come to me .

The emerging “hard” beat music soon made the “soft” songs of the freckled singer with a wild reddish head of hair take a back seat, and apart from a small comeback in 1969 with Pretty Belinda , he had little success in the hit business. Sometimes Charly "Caputnic" Gottschalk acted as his manager.

Bernd Spier lived as an occasional producer in Rödermark , Waldacker district until 2005 . After his career as a pop singer, he worked as a real estate agent and built a middle-class existence.

He died on December 30, 2017 at the age of 73 from complications from a heart attack . Bernd Spier's final resting place is in the cemetery of Ober-Roden , a district of Rödermark, in the Offenbach district .
