Biography

Following the dissolution of his successful dance-pop duo Modern Talking, composer and producer Dieter Bohlen turned his attention to a new solo project which he dubbed Blue System; also assuming vocal chores, he debuted in 1987 with the single "Sorry Little Sarah," soon followed by the full-length Walking on a Rainbow. While early Blue System efforts like 1989's Body Heat, 1990's Obsession, 1991's Seeds of Heaven and 1992's Deja Vu were all produced with the aid of longtime collaborator Luis Rodriguez, beginning with 1994's X-Ten Bohlen took total creative control, heralding a shift away from the Eurodisco of past records to move into techno and house. Forever Blue followed a year later, but after 1996's Body to Body Bohlen officially reunited with former partner Thomas Anders to reform Modern Talking, with the duo issuing Back for Good two years later. ~ Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide

Blue System was a German pop group that was founded by Dieter Bohlen in 1987 after the break-up of Modern Talking.

The group consisted of Dieter Bohlen (composer, producer, leadvocal), Rolf Köhler (leadvocal), Michael Scholz (backingvocal), Detlef Wiedeke (backingvocal).

On stage: Joachim Vogel (rhythm-guitar), Jeanne Dupuy and Frank Otto (drums). In 1988 Frank Otto was replaced by Michel Rollin. After that in 1991 a new keyboardist joined - Achim Striben. In 1992 Dirk Sauer, Rene Engelman and Fritsch Wolfgang joined the group, while Joachim Vogel left.

Some of the group's singles such as "Sorry Little Sarah" and "Magic Symphony" were very popular and entered German dance charts. The group released a lot of video clips (21) of their songs, which were shown on major German TV channels. Blue System also gave a lot of concerts in Germany and outside (in Russia).
