So much more than porn music...
Born in Baden in 1941, Klaus Harmony was the foremost German composer of erotik film scores in the 1970’s, crafting music for over ten classic movies in just thirteen years. In collaboration with filmmaker and long time friend, Friedrich Wohlfäht, he expanded and thrust the genre beyond its known limits.
Together they created seminal classics such as Elektrische Lippen (1969), Die Sins des Apostles (1972) and The Ladies Man (1977) which made stars of actors, Jürgen Klampf and Lola Schlipp, who was to become Klaus' fourth wife. In 1974 he released the album of instrumental music, Brown on Brown which gained cult status among his fans. Following the death of Wohlfäht in 1981, Harmony continued to write movies scores, eventually retiring in 1982. In 1984 he disappeared after an unexplained explosion during a visit to a second-hand music store in London’s east end.
"...some people on the internet - including the know-it-alls at Wikipedia - believed this moustache-sporting playboy is a spoof. Ridiculous."

"If you'll excuse us, we're going to annoy the neighbors for the rest of the day by turning up the speakers and gettin' down to these nasty beats. We think Klaus would have wanted it that way."

"He may look like Jeff Foxworthy, but how can you not love the guy who scored Wundercrotchen and, better yet, the brilliantly titled Who Needs Dialogue? ... we’ve been grooving to these sounds all morning. All we need now is a wondercrotch, a few Swedish nurses, and a camera crew."
