Falco was the most internationally successful pop artist ever to come out of Austria, best known for his 1986 chart-topping hit “Rock Me Amadeus.” Born Johann Holzel in Vienna on February 19, 1957, he was a classically trained child prodigy, but after graduating from the Vienna Conservatoire, he relocated to West Berlin and began fronting a jazz-rock band. Rechristening himself Falco in honor of the German skier Falko Weissflog, he returned to Vienna in time to play bass on the punk outfit Drahdiwaberl’s 1979 album Psycho Today, penning their best-known song, “Ganz Wein.” Falco began his solo career in 1982 with the LP Einzelhaft; his “Der Kommissar,” which fused techno-pop with rapped German lyrics, became a major European hit and a club favorite in the U.S., with a cover version by the group After the Fire reaching the Top Five in 1983.
