Career
The Rattles performed in Hamburg, and played at the same venues as The Beatles on several occasions in 1962. In 1964, the group recorded “Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah”, which charted in the UK. In 1968, they recorded their first version of “The Witch”, with vocals by Henner Hoier. The band’s records sold well in Germany throughout the 1960s. They were featured in the 1966 German film ‘Hurra! Die Rattles Kommen!’ (‘Hurray! The Rattles Are Coming!’).
Their second version of “The Witch” in 1970, this time with vocals by Edna Bejarano, was their only international hit. It reached the Top 10 on the UK Singles Chart, the top 20 in Austria, and the Billboard Hot 100 in the U.S. It eventually sold over one million copies. […]
