Thomas Anders is a pop singer from Germany and his name did say much to me until the other day when I came across some of his videos on youtube. He used to have a very very long ponytail back in the 1980s! In the late 80s there was an attempt to introduce him to the American public and he recorded some songs in English for the American market.
There some videos from 1989. In the first one there are some glimpses of his ponytail.
In this video you can see his long hair at 3:10. It is awesome!
But what interests me even more than his ponytail is the fact that long hair is traditionally associated with particular style of music. We see lots of rock / metal musicians with ponytails but you have to agree that a pop singer (singing silly songs) with a ponytail is rather unusual.
Yes great looking hair there. Does make you wonder if he was ashamed his people seeing his hair on the video and keeping it tied back.
Aweful songs though!

Yes, definitely unusual, and especially so in 1989, before male ponytails became more commonplace.
Thanks for the links!
