Heino

Heino, whose real name is Heinz Georg Kramm, is a German singer of Schlager (popular music) and Volksmusik. In his over 48 years on stage, Heino has become a legend, and even though his music is mainly popular with people over 60, nearly every German knows him. Because he suffers from Graves' Disease, his well-known trademarks have become his bright, almost white hair and his dark sunglasses, which he never takes off in public. For some critics, Heino is quite controversial because of his very conservative, sometimes even supposedly right wing attitude.
