Rudi Schuricke

Rudi Schuricke (born Erhard Rudolf Hans Schuricke; 16 March 1913, Brandenburg an der Havel – 28 December 1973) was a popular German singer and actor. In the 1930s he was Second Tenor with the Kardosch Singers,[1] a popular vocal ensemble of the time. When the group dissolved in 1935, Schuricke joined the Spree Revellers[2] and later proceeded to found his own vocal group, the Schuricke Terzett.[3] He also appeared as a solo singer with many popular orchestras of the 1930s and 40s. His 1949 recording of "Capri-Fischer" was a "smash hit" in Germany.[4] Even as late as the mid-1950s, he was still a successful musical artist. In 1954 alone, his song "Moulin Rouge" was the 74th most purchased single on the German year-end chart and another of his songs "Das Märchen unserer Liebe" appeared on the German Top50 chart.[5] The advent of the rock 'n' roll age, however, soon made his music out-dated.[6]

Rudi Schuricke

Schuricke tried to make a comeback in the early 1960s.[7] At the time of his comeback, Billboard Magazine referred to him as "one of Germany's hottest recording stars of former years."[4] Schuricke returned to the music charts in 1980, when a compilation of his songs, Noch einmal mit Gefühl, reached the No. 6 spot on the German albums chart. It remained on the chart for ten weeks.[8]
