@@margotdourand2507 So much wrong with your comment. First: Heino isn't blind at all. Second: He suffers from Morbus Basedow (graves disease) which is NOT an eye disease, but leads to eye bulging. Which looks quite frightening for a little kid. . Third: Really? Are you blaming a litte 3 or 4 year old kid for being prejudice? Many kids get scared, when total strangers hold them. Guess these bigoted kids just don't see the inside, or what?
I live in Australia, I was born here in 1971, but my dad was born in Bad kreuznach in 1932. He bought your music to me. My youth, through the 70's, 80's, and 90's always included your music, amongst Bruce Springsteen. God Bless you Heino, you keep the memory of my father true and real. PS he's still alive , and pumping out your tunes at 86yo !! Long live Heino !! A true legend here in Australia. Please visit within the next three years !!
I bought my first Heino record at a thrift shop, I had never heard of him before, but when I saw the picture on the record cover I thought “This has gotta be good” And it was. ❤️
Heino, ich freue mich sehr wenn ich Deine Lieder höre .Ich bin in Chile als Sohn und Enkel deutscher Einwanderer geboren. Viele diser Lieder hab ich selbst in meiner Jugend gesungen. Bin 1933 geboresn und hab die Zeir des Nationalsozialismos als junger Bengel mitgemacht . !50 prozentige Nazis waren einige meiner Lehrer . Auch am letzten Lager 1943 hab ich als der Jüngste mitgemacht. Es wurde viel , viel gesungen , u.A. auch viele Lieder die Du singst . Dieses verjüngt mich . Danke Dir herzlich.
Love the music! Wunderbar. How wonderful that he only sang German songs. That's why he is now considered a 'nationalist'. He is simply proud of his German history, as he should be.
Grew up listening to his music. My parents are German born and raised...we had them all: Heino, Freddy Quinn, Die Flippers, und zu viele mehr...Lang Leb' Heino! Long Live the Prince of Germany!
wie arrogant einige der Kommentatoren in dem Video waren, vielliecht mag ich die Musik nicht, aber warum muss ich Heino kritisieren, wenn er ein paar Menschen Freude gebracht hat. Musik = Freude - es ist nicht alles ein masterplan um das dritte reich zurueck zu bringen. Was ist schlimm daran Geschichte zu haben so lange man die schlimmen Fehler der Grosseltern nicht wiederholt? Sorry, ich bin wuetend ueber die sogenanten alternativen.
My father was a prominent D.J. in the Cincinnati Ohio German community 1975-2011 ,He and his audience LOVED Heino. I may have been named after 'Schwartze Barbara". I love his taking the parodies in stride and in German humor.
I knew who Heino was back in pre-Internet times (1978), growing up in the town of Kamloops, British Columbia, and buying imported copies of his albums at the record stores. I have no idea who that complaining petulant wannabe punk rocker is, even after having watched him sulk about Heino for the past 58 minutes.
I love what Heino has done for German folk music. For decades, it was side-lined and revered as some sort of holy relic . Heino, just like the Dubliners in Ireland, has succeeded in reviving this art-form and has given it back to the people. He is a national treasure.
I was always fascinated (and franly somewhat amused) by the audiences that sat on these shows. Just clapping their hands and staring at whatever it was they were staring at. Somehow the word "gemütlichkeit" never sprang to my mind on those occasions. This just might be a very German thing that outsiders can't fathom. I've talked to Germans about this, who acknowledged my feelings about this in hindsight, but had never thought about it in that way. But then again they were never really into this form of amusement in the first place and didn't even bother to imagine what it all might be about. Which is also very German.....
I have a photo of me with my German girlfriend and i'm wearing a tight turtleneck (green i remember) under an open shirt, that was 1967. Her sister later featured on tho RAF wanted posters in the early 70s, those were the days. I was more of a Udo Jurgens fan.
Know how I ended up here? I'm very blond and wear black sunglasses because the Florida sun's brutal.There was a German couple in a local Aldi,they must have been in their sixties or early seventies.She took one look at me and said "vas Heino!" and her husband started laughing.I got home and Googled Heino .I can think of much worse things to be called as an American nowadays.Besides,Jello Biafra was cognizant of him.
Why do half the comments make it seem like we're ashamed of Heino? The germans love Heino and even the younger generation is developing a liking for him as he was never afraid to try something new (see his metal album, see his current partyschlager hits like GMBH, Anna or Nutten, Koks und frische Erdbeeren). Some people tried to cause outrage cause he's been singing so many old timey german songs, even those made befor WWII wich were sadly instrumentalized by the Nazis but for Heino it was always about the music, not political bs so none of those attempts to "cancel" him were ever successful or taken seriously by the public or general media. Heino is a big part of german culture and we'll remember him fondly when one day he's gone.
Hey oldweirdeyes, I love your work! I'm the biggest Heino fan next to you. Would love to see your show if I make it out to L.A. Keep up the good work! Much love from Colorado
Viele Köpfe,viele Sinne.er wollte singen und kein Modell werden. Er ist ja auch mit seiner Musik außerordentlich erfolgreich geworden und geblieben. Ich wünsche ihm im weiteren Leben viele glückliche Stunden!
Heino ist ein wunderbarer Vertreter unserer deutschen Nation und Kultur. Er hält unsere Heimst in Ehren . Und vermittelt stolz auf unser Deutschland. Heino wird einmal in die Geschichte eingehen genau wie andere grossartige Sänger von Deutschland.
I appreciate Heino. I don't necessarily ever seek Heino out, but when he enters my life unexpectedly (and it's almost always unexpected), I enjoy it. Danke!
Heino- auch ein Meister der Selbstironie- großartig - ein deutscher Musiker- ganz, ganz weit weg von jeder braunen idiologischen Deutschtümelei. Love him!
What is the German folk song playing at the very end of the video, during the credits, after the needle on the record player is pushed ahead? It's the only song on this documentary I recognize but I don't know traditional German songs well enough---how about a list of songs in the video?
If you take look you will find out that there are two Heinos in this Video. One is the real Heino, the other guy was punished to say that he is the real Heino. One has the real voice, the other one is trying to reach the level of the right one, but failed. The wrong Heino is an actor or better say a comedian. The real Heino is a singer. You surely hear the difference.
Fascinating well done documentary. But I dunno...hearing full throated renditions of German folk songs make me as comfortable as a black man hearing banjo music.
