Howard Carpendale is a German singer-songwriter who was born in 1947. He has released more than 30 albums and sold more than 100 million records worldwide.
Howard Victor Carpendale was born on January 14, 1946, in Durban, South Africa, and became one of Germany’s most popular pop singers in the 1970s and 1980s. When he moved to Europe in 1966, Howie, as he is fondly known, was working as an Elvis impersonator, residing first in the United Kingdom. When he was given a recording deal with Electrola Records in 1969, he went to Germany and had immediate success on the German pop charts with a version of the Beatles’ “Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da.” Carpendale, on the other hand, was unable to build on his success, and by the early 1970s, his time with Electrola had come to an end.
In the 1970s and 1980s, the singer resorted to composing his own material, frequently with the assistance of guitarist Joachim Horn, and resurrected his career, hitting the German pop charts several times and attracting a huge following with his live performances. In 2003, he left the music industry and pursued a career in acting. Carpendale’s hiatus was short-lived, and by 2007, he’d returned with a new record and a sold-out tour. With his newfound fame, the singer’s second album, Stark, debuted at number two on the German charts in 2009. Carpendale’s late-career renaissance continued with Das Alles Bin Ich in 2011 and Viel Zu Lang Gewartet in 2013.
