MODERN TALKING “Brother Louie” /12” Maxi-Single/

The fourth Single by legendary German Dance-Pop band.
It’s the first and main Single from the band’s third full-length studio album, "Ready For Romance".
"Brother Louie" was released on 27 January 1986 and reached No. 1 on 3 March 1986 in Germany. It's the band's fourth consecutive Single to top the German Singles Chart, after "You're My Heart, You're My Soul", "You Can Win If You Want" and "Cheri, Cheri Lady".
The Single spent four weeks at the top and total of 17 weeks on the German chart. In the United Kingdom, it peaked at No. 4 in the charts and went Silver for shipments in excess of 250.000 units. "Brother Louie" was also certified Silver in France for selling over 250.000 units.
It is believed that the song was written by Dieter Bohlen about producer Luis Rodríguez, as he was a close associate of Bohlen and worked on many of the Modern Talking songs.
In 1998, not long after the duo's reunion, a remixed version of the single was released, titled "Brother Louie '98". The Single, released in a new sleeve, was also successful. It went Gold in France for selling over 250.000 units.
The music video of "Brother Louie" contains footage from the 1984 film "Once Upon a Time in America", interspersed with the band members playing on a stage.
