Actually, I take that back, my mom was in love with the Thriller album. She had a brand new 315i and we rocked that on the Blaupunkt.
There is a lot of music that’s “overseas” (to me, anyway) which is widely unknown in western culture, but is just mind blowing.
Right, now, most people haven’t heard of this guys, he sings in like 13 different languages and just keeps blowing my mind. And you never hear a word about him in the music community. He has a tight knit group of people that listen to him, and he actually had a concert in New York, at the Barclays center, right before the pandemic, and it sold out.

Nice info. Thanks. Greatly appreciated, I can somewhat relate. But I'm only a (Flying) Dutchman(when I jump out of a three floor window, sorry I hate the landing part.)
So you're saying your folks were 'overhere' in Germany(in the(US) army) overhere back then?
Anyway:
Jeff Lynne looks like one of our daughter's dogs
And still does....
