Though band leader Dick Brave claims to be canadian, the project actually marks the unlikely evolution of german pop singer Sasha - a frequent guest in the pop charts during the 1990s with hits like I Feel Lonely, If You Believe or Young Deenay's Walk On By.

Sasha Schmitz was born and raised by his single mother in Soest, Germany. His musical career started when he became lead singer of a school band called Junkfood. The group recorded several demo tapes together, but attracted no label interest and the band soon split. At the same time the producers of the German rapper Der Wolf engaged him as background singer for the hit single "Gibt's Doch Gar Nicht", a success improved upon by his first official appearance, on "Wannabe Your Lover", a top 10 collaboration with newcomer Young Deenay.

In 2002 Sasha switched his stage name to Dick Brave and began performing with The Backbeats. Originally conceived as a humorous lark, their success encouraged the group to record a whole album together, and "Dick This!" eventually became the singer's first number 1 record. It also featured a successful remake of 1961's "Take Good Care of My Baby", originally written by Carole King and Gerry Goffin and performed by Bobby Vee. In November 2004 the project was discontinued. However, alias Dick Brave's continual presence had earned Sasha an older audience for the first time.

In 2011 Dick Brave and the backbeats stage a comeback with the release of a new album and tour entitles 'Rock Theropy'!

My tears are falling
'Cause you've taken her away
And all it really hurts me so
There's something that I've got to say

Take good care of my baby
Please don't ever make her blue
Just tell her that you love her

Make sure you're thinking of her
In everything you say and do

Take good care of my baby
Don't you ever make her cry
Just let your Love surround her
Paint a rainbow all around her
Don't let her see your cloudy sky

Once upon a time that little girl was mine
And if I've been true I know she never be with you
So take good care of my baby
Be just as kind as you can be
And if you should discover
That you don't really love her
Just send my baby back home to me

Oh, take good care of my baby
Be just as kind as you can be
And if you should discover
That you don't really love her
Just send my baby back home to me

Take good care of my baby

Take good care of my baby
Take good care of my baby
