First formed at the end of 1984 (Anders was 21), they unexpectedly became immensely popular with their standalone disco hit "You're My Heart, You're My Soul", which was then followed by "You Can Win If You Want" and "Cheri, Cheri Lady". They released two albums a year from 1985 to 1987 while also promoting their singles on television all over Europe. After splitting up in 1987, the duo reunited in 1998, at first only testing the waters with new versions of hit singles and again reaching the top of the charts unexpectedly. Bohlen and Anders split again in 2003 due to irreconcilable disagreements (they had never been friends in the first place). Thomas Anders started another solo career immediately, while Bohlen had by now begun devoting most of his time to new talents, especially those he discovered on the German edition of the TV show Pop Idol/American Idol.
Global sales of Modern Talking records were 120 million units, according to BMG in June 2003, and they have become the biggest-selling German music act in history, so far outselling even Frank Farian's projects Boney M and Milli Vanilli, Michael Cretu's Enigma, Sandra, the Scorpions, Snap! and Rammstein.
Modern Talking were successful in Europe, Asia, South America and some African countries. In the United Kingdom they reached the top ten only once with the song "Brother Louie" (in 1986, #4 UK). They did not feel very good about promoting their singles there due to being marketed in England as a gay group like Erasure and Culture Club. Indeed, in the UK "Brother Louie" is regarded by those who remember it as nothing more than a novelty record by a one-hit wonder.
They were almost unknown in North America by mainstream standards, never appearing in the charts there, and due to lack of backing from a record company and lack of time did not go there to promote their music. Composer Dieter Bohlen employed mood-evoking lyrics and intellectually-designed, synthesizer-based music which was out of vogue in the U.S. before Modern Talking even formed.
In 2006 Bohlen included a secret message in his song "Bizarre Bizarre" which was played backwards: "There will never be an end to Modern Talking". However, Bohlen said "he meant to say that the music of Modern Talking will live forever" [4]. Anders has kept the Modern Talking songs in his repertoire and produced songs in a similar vein for his solo records ("Independent Girl"). In 2006 he produced an album of Swing and Jazz versions of popular songs (including Modern Talking's first hit). Bohlen has written two autobiographical books, one of which also detailed Modern Talking's history from his perspective, and sold a million copies in Germany. The sequel was heavily criticised for his unfairness towards the people he worked with. As a result of that, he withdrew from the public for a year until 2006, when he said he regretted putting out the second book. Anders had not been the only one pressing charges against Bohlen and demanding that sections of the book be modified.

Modern Talking Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There is so much sorrow, she has to be strong
She needs all her power, for helping the poor
Showing heaven to you
There's something to live for, oh what makes you glad
Oh she can't see it, if people are sad
A new star in heaven, she helps everyday
Hope she lives forever and a day
She has a heart, heart of an angel
She has a heart, heart of gold
It is more and more than a lonely heart can hold
She has a heart, heart of an angel
She lives thousand lives in one
She is the queen of hearts, for her I sing this song
Heart of an angel
She gives everything, she helps everyone
Sometimes it's easier, oh said than done
She wears love like heaven and she knows no fear
She lives between a laugh and a tear
She has a heart, heart of an angel
She has a heart, heart of gold
It is more and more than a lonely heart can hold
She has a heart, heart of an angel
She lives thousand lives in one
She is the queen of heart, for her I sing this song (for her I sing this song)
She has a heart, heart of an angel (heart of an angel)
She has a heart, heart of gold
It is more and more than a lonely heart can hold (oh)
She has a heart, heart of an angel (heart of an angel)
She lives thousand lives in one (one)
She is the queen of heart, for her I sing this song (for her I sing this song)
One heart of gold
Heart of angel
