Peter Kraus is an Austrian-born singer and actor who became one of the symbols of the youthful rebellion of the 1950s and 60s, essentially embodying the German-speaking equivalent of the "rock 'n' roll" fever that took America by storm. Born on March 18, 1939, in Munich, Germany, Peter Siegfried Krausnecker rose to fame with his athletic looks and his charm, quickly becoming a teen idol in post-war Germany and neighboring countries.

With an extensive career spanning decades, Kraus's discography reflects his perseverance in the music industry, with a significant focus on the rock 'n' roll genre. His release of "Sugar Baby" marks a nod to his classic hits, while albums like "Für immer in Jeans" and "Rock'n'Roll Is Back" underscore his commitment to the style that initially brought him fame. Throughout the years, Peter Kraus has shown versatility, moving between music and his work on screen while also engaging in live performances, captured in recordings such as "Live - Das Beste kommt zum Schluss." While modern releases like "L.i.e.b.e." and "Idole" showcase his adaptability to new trends and sounds, he is often celebrated for his nostalgic contributions to the genre with collections such as "BIG BOX - Legendäre Original-Alben - Peter Kraus." His music continues to resonate with generations of listeners who appreciate the rich legacy of early rock music and its cultural impact.
