Blind Date was a nine-piece pop band that was founded in Frankfurt am Main in 1984 .

Career

The initial formation of Blind Date consisted of Uwe Schlürmann († July 11, 2013 ) ( vocals and guitar ), Peter Koch ( percussion ), Matthias Baumgardt (guitar), James Michael Griffin ( keyboard ), Amy & Elaine Goff (vocals), Mark Austria (guitar, bass and vocals), Roman Müllenbach ( saxophone ) and Bruce Kent ( drums ). From 1986 the band was reduced to four members: Amy & Elaine Goff (vocals), Uwe Schlürmann (vocals and guitar) and Peter Koch (percussion). These were temporarily supported by the studio musicians Christian Felke (saxophone, later played for Rainhard Fendrich, among others ) and Lothar Krell (keyboards, both live musicians of the band Supermax from 1978 ).

The name of the band goes back to the fact that its members met by chance. The debut single Your Heart Keeps Burning became a hit in Germany in 1985 and reached number 17 in the single charts. In 1986 the LP Dreamworld was released . Most of the tracks were composed by Peter Koch and Matthias Baumgartner. James Michael Griffin wrote the music for three of the tracks, and Amy & Elaine Goff wrote the lyrics. Both follow-up singles How did You get to Me and " Hit the Road Jack " flopped, whereupon the band breaks up. In 1992 another remix of Hit the Road Jack was released, with only moderate success.

Amy and Elaine Goff became background singers with Meat Loaf , Christian Felke studio saxophonist and has been a member of the rock jazz band Scales since 1998. Uwe Schlürmann has been the lead singer of the country band Tumbleweed since 1996 .

The German dance project Lazard covered Your Heart Keeps Burning in spring 2007 and was thus able to place itself at the top of the German dance charts.
