Johan Hölzel was born on the 19th February 1957 in Vienna, Austria, but he was better known under his stage name FALCO, which he took in tribute to the East German ski jumper Falko Weißflog. He had a short but successful music career in Austria and also abroad. He died after a car accident on the 6th February 1998 and was buried on Vienna’s central cemetery (Zentralfriedhof). Even today fans still flock to his grave and leave flowers, so what better way to commemorate his birthday than with some of his best songs:

I have to say Rock me Amadeus – made me feel very nostalgic, brilliant song! Happy belated birthday #Falco, wherever you are!
Yes, it makes me feel nostalgic, too – still a great song!
I like this song about Amadeus as well. But do you know
“Der Kommissar” ? It is brilliant!
