German pianist Horst Jankowski appeared from nowhere with his catchy jazzy instrumental A Walk In The Black Forest but then soon faded from view. The title track single was a top twenty hit in both the US and UK. (US:18)
"A Walk In The Black Forest has such a beat, lively and quick, makes you want to get up and jive to it."
"A delightful song, one of my best 1960s memories. Hearing it never fails to brighten my day and my mood. I can well understand why it was a 1965 million seller. Mr Jankowski was truly a rare and brilliant talent."
"What an enormous hit in 1965. Even the R & R radio stations played it every hour or so, comparable to the eternal A Summer Place. This music transcends time and taste."
"Superb, A Walk In The Black Forest was one of the most universally acclaimed instrumentals ever to last into eternity. Horst this is your gift to the music world. Ah they don't make 'em like this folks, this doo-wop/rock 'n' roll historian has heard many a song and I love 'em, but this is in a class all by itself."
"This was probably the number one 'elevator music' song of all times. I would hear it ten times a day when it first came out. Even the AM rock stations played it. This was the summer of 1965."
