Dschinghis Khan
Dschinghis Khan is a German pop band originally formed in 1979 to compete in the Eurovision Song Contest. The group's name was taken from the title of their song, "Dschinghis Khan", which was written and produced by Ralph Siegel with lyrics by Bernd Meinunger. In 1980, the group's song, "Moskau", topped the Australian charts and remained #1 for six weeks. While the group broke up in the mid-1980s, the German video for "Moskau" was a part of the show Disco on ZDF; as was their similarly staged number "Dschinghis Khan". Louis Potgieter, the star of Dschinghis Khan, died of AIDS. He was 42 years old when he died.
