Jupp locks
Jupp Schlösser (born July 26, 1902 in Cologne ; † February 23, 1983 there ) was a German singer and songwriter who specialized in Cologne carnival hits . Some of his High German mood songs also gained supraregional importance.
Life
Initially, Schlösser worked as a baker and tram driver before he became a buffoon poet. He was looking for a composer who could add common melodies to his text ideas. When he met Gerhard Jussenhoven through Karl Berbuer in 1938 , he made songwriting his main occupation. Based on the model of the solo lied performance , for which Willi Ostermann was the key figure, many classics of the Cologne Carnival were created, some of which were also successful nationally as mood songs. Schlösser wrote many of his songs together with Jussenhoven or Jupp Schmitz .
They both created more than 50 songs in Cologne dialect, including such well-known ones as Die Hüsjer bunt om Aldermaat (their first big success from 1938, in which the backdrop of the town houses on the Alter Markt with their medieval pointed gables is sung about ), Die hinger de Jadinge ston un spinxe (1939; about informers during the Nazi era; with the Will Glahé orchestra ), Dat Glockespill vum Rothuusturm about the glockenspiel at the town hall , Sag 'ens Blotwoosch (as a musical language test for non-Cologne “ Imis ”), D'r Molli (a critical one Depiction of the time between the two world wars) and the song Do not look at the clock (1952), which the prince leader did not like to hear . High German songs like Kornblumenblau (recorded on October 25, 1937) were also created, which have been sold 12 million times to date. The Schunkelwalzer, originally sung by Willy Schneider , was used in the German film of the same name, which was released on December 15, 1939.
