Otto Brandenburg

Otto Brandenburg

Born: September 4, 1934
Died: March 1, 2007
Han debuterede i 1955 i ensemblet Four Jacks, men blev hurtigt solist og udråbt til dansk rock- og twist-konge. Siden udbyggede han sit pop-repertoire til visesang og jazz og blev desuden en flittigt benyttet skuespiller. Han har udgivet plader for EMI i Sverige og Tyskland, og gik i Tyskland under navnet "Ole Brandenburg". I 1960 deltog han i Dansk Melodi Grand Prix med sangen To Lys På Et Bord, som dog ikke vandt men alligevel blev en landeplage. I 1962 deltog han i det svenske grand prix. I 1969 betrådte han nye, musikalske veje med sin egen tekst til en amerikansk melodi i julesangen "Søren Banjomus", som han selv sang til tidløs succes.

I 1970'erne dannede han ofte par på scenen med Vivi Bak, og i 1980'erne tog han sig bl.a. af Halfdan Rasmussen- og Evert Taube-repertoiret. Det blev til mange plader, engagementer i diverse shows og tv-optrædener i de år. I de senere år holdt Otto Brandenburg en lavere profil.

Scriptwriter Benny Andersen being a poet is rendering a loving portrait of a number of persons, who fail to try to make their dreams come true, possibly not being sufficiently dissatisfied with their life after all. The manager would like a bar of his own but dare not admit to it, the butcher would like to be an opera singer, the window cleaner (sorry, window polisher) is secretly in love with the bar lady, but dare not show it and the pianist willingly listens to all the different dreams being presented to him.
