City biography
The East German rock band City was raised to cult status in their native GDR in 1977 when they released a song called "Am Fenster," which hit the charts for weeks in both German states (in fact, in 2000 it was declared "the best German rock song of the 20th century" by a survey of German radio stations). This was an exceptional occurrence as during the times of German separation bands from the eastern part of Germany were usually ignored in the West. Founded in 1971 in East Berlin with Fritz Puppel (guitar, born November 2, 1944), Klaus Selmke (drums, born 1950), Ingo Döring (bass guitar), Frank Pfeiffer (vocals), Klaus Witte (keyboards), and Andreas Pieper (flute), City initially did what most bands do at the beginning of their career: they played rock standards, among others songs of the Rolling Stones, Santana, and Jimi Hendrix, and nothing distinguished them from a dozen other bands active at that time.
