==Music== In 1961, he first appeared on the trio OK Singers. Most of his recordings were pop versions of traditional folk songs; for example, "How Blue Blooms the Gentian" ("Blau ~~Blüht~~blüht ~~Der~~der Enzian"), an adaptation of the folk song "The Swiss Maiden" ("Das Schweizermaedel"). His stage name comes from his sister Hannelore's difficulty pronouncing his given name "Heinz Georg".<ref name="Official Web Site" /> In February 2013, Heino released a new album, called "Mit freundlichen ~~Grüssen~~Grüßen" (''Yours sincerely''), which topped the German album charts. The record is a collection of cover versions of popular German songs from [[Die Ärzte]], [[Peter Fox (musician)\|Peter Fox]], [[Rammstein]] and others. It is as such a Pop-Rock/Metal-record instead of Heino's typical Schlager and Volksmusik style. The album earned Gold for being sold over 100,000 times. In December 2014, Heino released a new album, "Schwarz blüht der Enzian" (''[[Gentiana\|Gentian]] blooms black''), referring to one of his greatest hits "Blau blüht der Enzian" (''Gentian blooms blue'') and to the Rock-/Metal style of the record in which some of his own songs and traditional German [[Volksmusik]] are covered.
