Heino, born Heinz Georg Kramm on December 13, 1938, in Düsseldorf, Germany, is a distinctive baritone singer widely recognized for his blond hair, dark sunglasses, and his repertoire of traditional German volksmusik (folk music), Schlager, and popularized renditions of German folksongs. His theatrical image and deep voice have become cultural staples in Germany and have contributed to his status as an enduring icon in the German music scene.

Starting his career in the 1960s, Heino achieved widespread fame with hits such as "Blau blüht der Enzian" and "Die schwarze Barbara." His music has appealed broadly, crossing generational divides and celebrating German culture through song. Over the years, Heino has adapted his style to include other genres, including rock and pop songs, which demonstrated his versatility as an artist. Celebrating over half a century in the music business, Heino has released numerous albums, including the commemorative "55 Jahre Bühnenjubiläum," reflecting his extensive career. With his 2018 album "...und Tschüss (Das letzte Album)," Heino suggested a farewell to studio recording, though his legacy continues to be celebrated through albums like "BIG BOX - Legendäre Original-Alben - Heino," which compile his legendary works. Whether singing seasonal classics in "Mit weihnachtlichen Grüßen" and "Deutsche Weihnacht und festliche Lieder (Originale)" or duets in "Unsere schönsten Duette," Heino has marked his place in the pantheon of German music giants.
