"Ein bisschen Frieden," "Pack die Badehose ein," or "Griechischer Wein" are songs that everyone knows: They stick in the memory of many generations just like Nena's "99 Luftballons" or Drafi Deutscher's "Marmor, Stein und Eisen bricht." From the seemingly inexhaustible supply of German hits, a jury has selected the 100 most successful and famous titles. Ingo Grabowsky and Martin Lücke present them in this book. Starting with the big hit of 2007, "Ein Stern (... der deinen Namen trägt)," the authors take a journey through time back to the beginnings of German-language entertainment music. Richly illustrated with well-known stage photos and rare images of the stars and their creators, along with original covers and autograph cards, the volume offers interesting insights into the "100 Hits of the Century.".
