来自柏林的Modern Talking成立于1983年，团员包括作曲者兼制作人Dieter Bohlen以及当时堪称《少女杀手》的俊美主唱Thomas Anders两人，是欧洲着名的舞曲组合，许多歌曲脍炙人口，成为八○年代中期欧陆舞曲乐坛的唯一代名词。翻唱成中文的一曲“路灯下的小姑娘”当年也曾风靡全中国。

The German dance-pop duo Modern Talking was formed in Berlin in early 1983 by Dieter Bohlen, then a composer and producer employed by the Intersong label; teaming with vocalist Thomas Anders, they soon began work on their first single, 1984's "You're My Heart, You're My Soul." Modern Talking's debut LP, succinctly titled The First Album, followed a year later on the heels of their second single, "You Can Win If You Want; " the duo's sophomore effort, Let's Talk About Love, appeared in late 1985, launching the smash "Cheri Cheri Lady." With 1986's Ready for Romance, Modern Talking scored their biggest hit with "Brother Louie; " however, after 1986's In the Middle of Nowhere tensions between Bohlen and Anders reached their boiling point, and following the release of their fifth LP, Romantic Warriors, Bohlen assembled a new project, Blue System. The final Modern Talking album, In the Garden of Venus, appeared posthumously at the end of 1987, after which Anders mounted a solo career. In 1998 he and Bohlen reunited for a new Modern Talking album, Back for Good.
