Drafi Deutscher

Drafi Deutscher was a German singer who had his biggest success in the mid-1960s with the song 'Marmor, Stein und Eisen bricht.' The track, written by Norbert Schultze with lyrics by Kurt Feltz, became popular in several European countries including Austria, Switzerland, the Netherlands, and Belgium.

He had started performing earlier with a band called The Magics when he was fifteen. Other songs like 'Blumen Aus Eis' and 'Guardian Angel' also appeared in his catalog, though none matched the reach of that first major hit.

There were some controversies around his career, including a canceled American debut in 1970 that was reportedly connected to the Cuban Missile Crisis. He kept recording through the years, but 'Marmor, Stein und Eisen bricht' remained what people remembered him for.
