Gerhard Schöne
About
Gerhard Schöne (born 10 January 1952 in Coswig, Saxony) is a German singer-songwriter and children's book author who became the most successful Liedermacher of the GDR era. His songs - poetic, gently critical and rooted in his Protestant faith - speak equally to children and adults, and his popularity survived the fall of the Wall without a break. Since reunification he has released more than a dozen further albums on the BuschFunk label and performs regularly at Evangelical Church Congresses; he is also a UNICEF ambassador.
