A previously unreleased song by Udo Jürgens will be released in September.
It comes from the musician's estate, according to Sony Music and Udo Jürgens Master AG. "Als ich fortging" will be released on September 20.
Jürgens had recorded the self-composed song as a so-called rough mix, he had played it on the piano and sung it. The drummer and producer Curt Cress, who used to work with Jürgens, rearranged and produced it. It is not clear when the song was written. However, it is said to be reminiscent of his music from the 1980s.
Jürgens, who was born in Klagenfurt, Austria, in 1934 and died in Switzerland in 2014, is one of the most famous German-language songwriters of the 20th century. His greatest hits included "Griechischer Wein", "Siebzehn Jahr, blondes Haar" and "Ich war noch niemals in New York".
The musician would have turned 90 on September 30. To mark the occasion, an album with 90 singles by Jürgens, compiled by his children Jenny and John, will be released on September 27.
Jürgens has composed around 1000 songs in his career, released over 50 albums and sold more than 105 million records.
