Thomas And Dieter Recorded Their First Single
For Modern Talking In 1984, Called "You're My Heart - You're My
Soul". Their Biggest Selling Single Was "Brother Louie",
In 1986, From The "Ready For Romance" Album. By 1987, The Writting
Was On The Wall, Because Of Dissputes Between Dieter And
Thomas And The Cause Of Conflict,"Nora" Nora Wanted
To Be In The Limelight Of It All, Take The Interviews, Even Take Lead Vocals In
All Of The Concerts. Even When Awards For "Modern Talking" Were
Given Out, It Was EitherThomas Or Dieter Who Went To
Recieve Them, Never Both! Dieter Tried On Several Occasions
To Save The Band, But In The End He Decided It Was'nt Possible And So They Ended
A 2 Year Contract, Which Released Thomas From "Modern
Talking" And The Last Album To Ever Be Recorded By "Modern
Talking" Was "In The Garden Of Venus", In 1987.
Dieter Began A New Project And A New Band "Blue
System", Where He Produces, Writes And Even Sings All The Songs.
Thomas Went For A Solo Career, And Released His First Solo Album
In 1989, Called "Different". And It Was Different In Many Aspects:
He Ties Up His Long Hair, Into A Ponytail And Does Not Wear His Golden Chain Any
Longer. But, The Most Noticeable Differnce Was His Style In Music Had Changed -
It Was Very, Very Different! His First Hit Was "Soldier", Followed
By:"One Thing" And "Love Of My Own". The Album Which
I Will Treasure The Most Is Ofcourse:"Down On Sunset". Scince Then
Thomas Has Released At Least 5 Solo Albums And One In Spanish
(Barcos De Cristal) And Now In 1998 After Many Requests By Fans
And Many Letters From Dieter, He Has Decided To Join Forces Again
With Dieter And Record Another Modern Talking Album
Called: "Back For Good" Which Was Released In April This Year
(1998). As Many Of You Already Know Thomas Cut His Long Hair Back
In 1995 And Has Scince Departed Company With Former Wife Nora, Who
Has Another Boyfriend In L.A. Thomas Now Lives In
Koblenz In Germany. This Is Why Thomas Can Now
Finally Put Things To Rest And Reunite With Dieter To Form
"Modern Talking" Once Again, As It Was Nora That
Caused All The Conflict & If It Was'nt For Her, "Modern
Talking" Never Would Have Broken Up In The First Place.
Dieter Even Agrees That He & Thomas Were Always
Good Friends.
