Biography
Tony Hendrik was born in Bad Bederkesa in 1945. He graduated from a high school in Rendsburg and initially founded a beat band named "Hendrik & The Luniks" that performed at Hamburg's Star-Club. In 1966, he left his hometown to study in Cologne. There he started a new band "The Tony Hendrik Five".[4] By 1970, Tony won his first success with the group—single "The Grooviest Girl in the World" became his first bestseller.
He subsequently worked for the German branch of the record label Vogue where he began producing.
In 1984, Tony Hendrik and his wife Karin Hartmann were looking for "new sound in music," and put together the band Bad Boys Blue, selecting the band members. The band was a huge success in Europe, with Henrik producing their charting hit singles "You are a Woman", "Pretty Young Girl", "Lady in Black" and "Come Back and Stay".[5]
Hendrik (under then name Dee Dee Halligan), along with his wife Karin Hartmann (under then name Junior Torello) wrote and produced "What Is Love" for Haddaway, which was released in 1993. It became one of their biggest hits, charting at #11 in USA Billboard 100 and #1 in multiple countries such as France, Austia, Nederlands, Denmark, Spain and Italy.[6]
