Eddie Cochran was his favorite idol.
Finally at age 17, he joined a talent search, where Heino Gaze discovered him and offered him a record contract. The same year, his first record came out.
Drafi and his band played beatmusic in the German language, which was not really appreceated by the German media. For a while Rock'n'Roll concerts were even forbidden. Though he had many hits in the English language, under which many covers, the German "Marmor, Stein, und Eisen bricht" was his biggest hit, that brought him fame even outside German speaking countries.
Beside singing, Drafi also composed songs for other artists like Demis Roussos, Nino De Angelo and Tina Rainford.
Drafi Deutscher passed away on June 9th, 2006.

Drafi Deutscher Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cinderella Baby, komm und gib mir deine Hand.
Nachts träum' ich von dir im Mondenschein,
doch am Tag da bin ich so allein
Cinderella Baby, lass die Träume Wahrheit sein.
Ich hab' gedacht, dass es dich nicht gibt,
bis ich dich heut gesehen.
nun darfst du nie mehr gehen.
Cinderella Baby, Mädchen aus dem Märchenland
Cinderella Baby, komm und gib mir deine Hand.
Nachts träum' ich von dir im Mondenschein,
Doch am Tag da bin ich so allein
Cinderella Baby, lass die Träume Wahrheit sein.
Wär' ich ein Maler,
dann malte ich dich in einem weißen Kleid.
Trag es am schönsten Tag für mich,
auf unserer Traumhochzeit.
Cinderella Baby, Mädchen aus dem Märchenland
Cinderella Baby, komm und gib mir deine Hand.
Nachts träum' ich von dir im Mondenschein,
Doch am Tag da bin ich so allein
Cinderella Baby, lass die Träume Wahrheit sein,
Cinderella Baby, lass die Träume Wahrheit sein.

Das wunderschöne Lied "Cinderella baby", gesungen vom unvergessenen Drafi Deutscher, weckt in mir schöne Erinnerungen an meine Jugendzeit in den 60er- Jahren. Meine + Mutter besaß eine umfamgreiche Schallplattensammlung; darunter befand sich die Schallplatte mit diesem Lied. Gelegentlich singe ich es noch im Alter von 70 Jahren.
