Life

Ralf Paulsen was one of the main representatives of the Wild West wave in the Federal Republic of Germany in the 1960s. As early as 1959 he had his first success as the singer of the hit Tears in Your Eyes.

His greatest success was in 1963 with the German version of the theme song of the American television series Bonanza . He then recorded numerous western songs and hits, some of which were recorded by other performers and did not bring him the desired success. These include titles such as The old house of Rocky docky , there hangs a horse collar on the wall , Ghost Rider , Oh my darling Caroline , Mr. Ed and Tom Dooley . He also recorded some hits, such as Tears in Your Eyes , Kleine Annabell and Hohe Tannen . Ralf Paulsen was often on the road with his colleague Tex Haper when it came to music.

Paulsen also recorded country songs in the 1990s and occasionally appeared on television with them.
