Peter Maffay music biography continued...
the Romanian town of Braºov, Maffay moved to Germany with his parents when he was a child. His career began in 1969 with the release of his first single, "Du" (You in German). It was the biggest German hit in 1970 and brought Maffay instant fame. Albums released in 1972, (Omen) 1974 (Samstag Abend in Unserer Straßeand) and 1977 (Dein Gesicht) all reached the German Top Ten. With the album Steppenwolf in 1979, Maffay became a major music star in Germany. The album sold 1.6 million copies, making it the best selling LP at that time. In 1980, the album Revanche (Revenge) broke his previous record, selling 2.1 million copies. With 1983's Tabaluga oder die Reise zur Vernunft Maffay shifted gears, teaming with children's musician Rolf Zuckowski and author Gregor Rottschalk to create a fairy-tale world headlined by the dragon Tabaluga. Books, an animated series, a live stage musical, and additional LPs expanded the franchise. Maffay holds the German record for the most number one ranked singles in the single and album sales charts, including 12 albums. In addition, most of his studio albums reached the top ten. He also holds a German record for most albums to have sold over one million copies, with 14. His latest album, Laut und Leise (Loud and Quiet), became the fourteenth.
Maffay has also used his celebrity status to become a social activist. In 1996, he received the Order of Merit for his social commitment, and in 2005 performed for German troops stationed in Afghanistan. He also donates to projects for traumatized and abused children. On the Spanish island of Majorca, he established a ranch where traumatized children from all over the world can have a free two-week holiday to help them cope with their problems. In 2001, Maffay also received a German accolade for his activism called The Golden Hen, proving to fans that he is more than just a rock star, but an individual with a tremendous sense of responsibility to the country which gave him so much.
