Frank Valdor

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Frank Valdor (27 May 1937 – 5 August 2013)[1] was one of the great German bandleaders having sold over 2.5 million records during the 1960s and 1970s. In particular, Valdor was popular for his intended to be played non-stop at parties. He has been called "King of Dynamic Party Sound". His discography consists of more than 80 LP's, 10 singles and 8 CD's. Valdor's record covers often have a "genius" graphical touch, where he is shown surrounded by scantily dressed women. His album King Size sold 25,000 copies in Finland and was awarded gold status.[2][3]

Like James Last did Frank Valdor had also a period during the earlier 1970s, when he was a celebrated musician in Scandinavia.[4] Mainly, but not exclusively, for those who at the time were older than 30 years old.
