Freddy Quinn (born Franz Eugen Helmut Manfred Nidl; 27 September 1931)[1] is an Austrian singer and actor whose popularity in the German-speaking world soared in the late 1950s and 1960s. As Hans Albers had done two generations before him, Quinn adopted the persona of the rootless wanderer who goes to sea but longs for a home, family and friends.
