Artist: Udo Lindenberg & Das Panik-Orchester
LP: Sister King Kong
Song: "Udo On the Rocks"
[ listen ]
Udo Lindenberg and his sexy long legs were born in Gronau, Germany in May of 1946. He began drumming at an early age and hooked up with Germany's first folk-rock group, The City Preachers, in 1969. Udo went on to release a string of LPs throughout the 1970s and beyond; he also wrote and published a book in 1975. Now living at the Hotel Atlantic in Hamburg, Lindenberg remains active in music, though his voice has reportedly taken on a raw and gravelly quality—the result of excessive cigarettes and booze. Earlier this year, Udo Lindenberg designed two postage stamps for his native Deutschland, which I've included below along with photos from the inside and back of his 1976 "Sister King Kong" LP.

ps. Judging by the signature on his artwork for the stamps, my LP is a genuine autographed copy!
