Peter Siegfried Krausnecker (born March 18, 1939 in Munich, Germany) is a German singer and actor. His style were covers of Rock’n’Roll songs with German lyrics such as ‘Tutti Frutti’ (originally by Little Richard) at first, but he soon found his own style.
 

After his first single, a cover version of Little Richard's "Tutti Frutti" had been released in 1955, he became Germany's first rock'n'roll and teen star.

Having several hits between 1956 and 1964 including "Susi Rock" (1957), "Sugar Baby" (1958) and "Tiger" (1959), he has sold over 17 million records to date.

Although only appearing in two movies with Cornelia Froboess, they were considered the "dream couple" of the German entertainment industry in the early 1960s.

Received an Amadeus Austrian Music Award (2004) and an ECHO Award (2006) for his lifetime achievements.

Also a successful painter, whose work has been exhibited in Switzerland.

Lives with his wife Ingrid, a former model, on Lake Lugano in Switzerland.
They have a son, Michael. Their daughter Gaby - from a prior relationship of Ingrid - died of breast cancer.

Son of Austrian actor and cabaret artist 'Fred Kraus'(Krausnecker).
