Die Nilsen Brothers
Josef "Pepe" Ederer, Gerd Gudera, and Walter Leykauf rose to fame after winning
a contest on Peter Frankenfeld's show on Bayerischer Rundfunk, leading to their
first contract. In 1959, they released a German version of "Tom Dooley" by The
Kingston Trio, topping sales charts for seven weeks. In 1965, they created "Aber
dich gibt’s nur einmal für mich" which became a schlager classic, covered by
artists like Stefanie Hertel and Die Flippers. The Nilsen Brothers disbanded in
1972 but reformed with new members, releasing an album in 2005 that included new
versions of their hits.
