Born Drafi Richard Franz on May 9, 1946, in Berlin, Drafi Deutscher began active in talent competitions by the time he was 11, commonly belting out Little Richard's "Tutti Frutti" with fervid ardor. He was a member of the group Charlie & the Timebombs in his teens, moving on to the Magics in 1963. That same year he was signed as a solo behave to Decca Records, and his first base unmarried for the label, "Itty-bitty," effected him on the German bug out charts, a position he became accustomed to through the remain of the decennium. Deutscher sour increasingly to writing and producing as his calling evolved, working with Tina Rainford, Peter Orloff, Peggy March, and others, often cathartic sides under diverse aliases. He died on June 9, 2006, in Frankfurt as a resultant role of pneumonia and a hurt heart.
