Thanks for this excellent selection!

You asked for suggestions. Here is another glamour swimmer who was hugely popular in his day. Here's an interesting question, is being an ethnic-German enough to qualify for inclusion on the German-Trail?

Johnny Weismuller (born as Johann Peter Weißmüller) was an Olympic Swimming champion who went on to become the sexy yodeling Tarzan -- imagine he starred in 10 Tarzan films!

Thanks for the suggestion - I do think his background qualified indeed to become covered here! Thanks a lot!

Glad to hear that! So I bet we'll also see Peter Maffay here one of they days.

Peter Maffay is one I did not think of yet but another good suggestion but please remind on the next musician post then :-)
