Rolf Köhler (May 24, 1951 – September 16, 2007) was a German singer, musician and record producer. Köhler initially achieved commercial success performing under the pseudonym Marc de Ville in the 1970s. As Marc de Ville, Köhler released a number of chart-topping singles, including "Annie (I Don't Wanna Talk About The Weather)", "Walking Alone in the Rain" and "California". Köhler performed with a diverse range of musicians, including Marius Müller-Westernhagen and heavy metal band Saxon. Köhler also wrote a number of commercially successful German songs, including "Wenns um Geld geht", "Tortella" and "BIFI". Köhler's most successful venture was Modern Talking, a band which used a falsetto style. Köhler formed Modern Talking in collaboration with Dieter Bohlen, Detlef Wiedeke, Michael Scholz and Thomas Anders. Köhler co-owned Karo Music Studios and produced music for artists including Kalle Trapp, Blind Guardian, Molly Hatchet, New Commix, Kentucky, Toll House, Ser, Ian Cussick band, BLUE BLIZZ, Wave (with Wiedeke) and Gnadenlos Platt. In the 1980s, Köhler worked on a number of disco productions with artists including Stag, L'Affair, C. Dorian, and Tom Jackson. Several of Köhler's disco productions, including Solid Strangers, Boo Who, Straight Flush, and Broken Dreams, achieved mainstream commercial success. Many of Köhler's disco productions are now considered disco music classics by disco collectors. Köhler died on September 16, 2007, from an apoplectic attack.〔("''Bohlen's singer is dead''" ), Obituary Stern, September 18, 2007.〕 ==Collaboration with Dieter Bohlen== Following the success of Modern Talking, Köhler was recruited as the lead vocalist of Blue System, a pop group featuring Dieter Bohlen. Although Bohlen appeared in Blue System's video clips and on stage as the group's lead singer, Bohlen was lip-syncing to Köhler's vocals. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rolf Köhler」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
