Vienna
as
Johann-Hans
Holzel and died on February 6, 1998 in

) was an
Austrian
pop
singer. His breakthrough was "Der Kommissar", which beat top positions in
international
charts. This song and his first two albums were produced by Robert Ponger.
His song

American
charts. From year 1985 to year 1988 he produced three albums with the
Dutch
Production Team Bolland & Bolland. "Falco 3" became his most successful record reaching number 3 of the US Longplay Charts (he recorded an album entitlet "falco").
In year 1985, Falco also had his 3rd №1 hit "Jeanny" and in 1986 his 4th ? "Coming Home (Jeanny Part 2)".
Unsuccessful
albums
like "Data de Groove" (produced by Ponger again) followed. In year 1988 he married Isabella Vitkovi?; one year later, in year 1989, they have separated. Ponger and the Bollands produced all of the albums that were released in his lifetime. To stay tuned, Falco recorded many techno songs and worked with different producers for his last album.
Falco’s successful album "Out of the dark (into the light)" was released after his death in a
road accident
