Roland Kaiser (born Ronald Keiler; 10 May 1952) is a German Schlager singer.[1] He is one of the most successful German-speaking Schlager singers.[2]
Kaiser was born in West Berlin.[3] He was working as a marketing executive in a car firm[3] where he was discovered by German music producer Gerd Kämpfe [de].[4] In 1974, he released his first single under the stage name of Roland Kaiser, titled "Was ist wohl aus ihr geworden?",[5] and in 1976 he got his first chart placement with "Frei, das heißt allein",[6] which reached under Top 20 on the West German top list.[7]
In 1980, he competed in the West German trial for the Eurovision Song Contest but did not win.[8] In the same year, he had his greatest success on the lists so far with the song "Santa Maria [de]" (by Oliver Onions/Guido & Maurizio De Angelis),[9] which maintained its first place in West Germany for six weeks.[10]
