Jürgen Drews is a mainstay in the German music scene, renowned for his contributions in the Schlager genre—a style characterized by catchy instrumental hooks and straightforward, sentimental lyrics. Born on April 2, 1945, in Nauen near Berlin, Drews' musical journey began with his fascination for the banjo, and he soon honed his talents to become a significant force in the European pop world.

His career took flight in the late 1960s when he joined the Les Humphries Singers, a group that enjoyed considerable fame with their mix of gospel, R&B, and pop elements. However, Drews truly became a household name in Germany as a solo artist with his 1976 summer hit "Ein Bett im Kornfeld," a cover of "Let Your Love Flow" by the Bellamy Brothers, which has since become an enduring anthem of the Schlager genre. Over the decades, Drews evolved without losing the essence of the upbeat and feel-good nature of his music. His more recent releases, such as "Mein größtes Geschenk" and "Geil war's... Danke Jürgen!" continue to celebrate the vibrant and jovial spirit that has come to be expected from his work. With a discography that celebrates longevity and an unwavering connection with his audience, such as seen in collections like "Das ultimative Jubiläums-Best-Of" and "Drews feat. Drews (Die ultimativen Hits)," Jürgen Drews stands as an icon of German pop culture, still thrilling fans with his energetic performances and charismatic stage presence.
