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 ↴
A fleeting glimpse of your heart losing by
From the start, no return
And things will never be the same
I feel I'm falling apart 'cause I know I've lost my guardian angel
A fleeting glimpse of your heart losing by
From the start, no return
Try to find the words that show I sympathize
Words of comfort. Words that never criticize
Though I know you simply laughing at me
I just can't stop and simply let it be
Where are all those feelin's of my yesterdays
Feelings now I have bring back those bad ole ways
Though I know you want to turn and blow
I just can't stop and simply let you go
I feel I'm falling apart 'cause I know I've lost my guardian angel
A fleeting glimpse of your heart losing by
From the start, no return
And things will never be the same
Let me see you smile once more that special way
Warm as summer on a chilly winter's day
Though I know you're simply laughing at me
I just can't stop and simply let it be
I feel I'm falling apart 'cause I know I've lost my guardian angel
A fleeting glimpse of your heart losing by
From the start, no return
And things will never be the same
I feel I'm falling apart ''cause I know I've lost my guardian angel
A fleeting glimpse of your heart losing by
From the start, no return
And things will never be the same
