The Austrian one-hit-wonder, real name 
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
Johann Holzel, topped the British charts in 
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
1986 with his superb Rock Me Amadeus. This 
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
ludicrously ambitious song coupled spiky 
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
electro beats with dramatic strings and a 
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
vocal that sounded like Max Headroom being 
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
strangled. A memorable Top of the Pops 
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
performance featured Falco, a true 
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
Renaissance man, breakdancing in full 18th-
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
century garb. Falco died in a car accident in 
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
1998. He won’t be forgotten.
