David Hasselhoff

Who does not know it, which in his speaking car on man hunt goes to naive, almost two meters large curl tuft, how he, in black leather jacket dresses. “Knight Rider” is called the TV serial, which gives to the career of David Hasselhoff an ignition without same and which a canvas character Michael Knight and its four-wheeled Kumpan K.I.T.T raises into the status from icons, which also still years flicker later over the canvas. In the USA particularly as actors in the series “Knight Rider” and “Baywatch” arrived at fame, comes Hasselhoff into Europe also as a singer to doubtful honours. With the success producer Jack White at the side and the single “Looking For Freedom” in the luggage erklimmt Hasselhoff 1989 the point of the German Charts.

From Germany also the ancestors originate from Dolores and Joe Hasselhoff, which hold her son David in the arms on 17 July 1952. Together with his four sisters the small David probably grows up. At the tender age of seven years he discovers his love for the looking plaything after an attendance of the play “Rumpelstilzchen”, if one may give faith to the myth. Later in the Highschool time he pursues his plan to become actors consistently further and creates it into the “Troup OF American college Players”, a combination of the best American Jungschauspieler. Finally its way leads it into the “city of the angels”, the metropolis of the film industry.

There it writes itself at the “California institutes OF drama TIC kind” and financed its study with all kinds of opportunity jobs. The large break-through takes time meanwhile. But the Hüne come into Baltimore to the world works itself upward persistently, until it is finally gecastet and engaged 1973 for the role of the Snapper Foster for the DAILY Soap “The Young and The Restless”. Altogether six years plays it the good-looking physician and convinces with the time also the largest Zweifler. First feature offers (“Pleasure Cove” and “star Crash”) and a musical offer strengthen its position in Hollywood.

The ascent into the first league takes place to 17. March 1981, when the first flap falls to “Knight Rider”. In the USA and Europe the series swings 80's to the Topseller up and makes for Hasselhoff aka Michael Knight the year icon. 1984 follow with the album “Nightrider” in the USA a first going attempt in the role of the singer. Europe must wait further five years, until Hasselhoff at the side of the success producer Jack White seizes again to the microphone. White had already vibrated before it hits like “beautiful Maid” from the sleeve and had led artist such as Tony marshal, Pia Zadora or Engelbert Humperdinck to success.

David Hasselhoff, which visited whole four concerts in its life, with its success album “Looking For Freedom” and the Gassenhauer of the same name, which stand for weeks at the point of the Charts, surprises 1989. Also in musical regard the Sunnyboy forms itself as a streamlined all star, that arrives just as good with the toothless Omi with 70 years as with kreischenden dte-sneezes. While the Europeans the singer Hasselhoff hofieren, the rescue float series of “Baywatch” starts in the USA, in which the skillful star leads for the first time also direction.

Meanwhile also the successor sells itself to “Looking For Freedom” in the best way in Europe. “Crazy For You” pours new oil into the collective Davidmania. Only in the middle of the 90's becomes gradually a certain weariness of the musical output of Hasselhoff apparent. It is located nevertheless in Germany still more highly in the course than in the USA, where the new edition of the Baywatch concept under the title “Baywatch Hawaii” floppte and was not radiated only at all on this side of the Atlantiks.

Obstinacy and persistence did not leave David Hasselhoff meanwhile, and so it fights courageously at many fronts at the same time. Also it did not hang the singer career long to the nail. 2004 it publishes its CD “David Hasselhoff sings America”, its completely personal, Hommage compiled from 15 Coverversionen to the American dream.
