Freddy Quinn (born Franz Eugen Helmut Manfred Nidl, 27 September 1931, Niederfladnitz, Austria) is an Austrian singer and actor whose popularity within the German-speaking world soared in the late 1950s and 1960s.
Similar to Hans Albers two generations before him, Quinn adopted the persona of the rootless wanderer who goes to sea but longs for a home, family and friends.
Quinn's Irish family name comes from his Irish born salesman father, Johann Quinn.
His mother, Edith Henriette Nidl, was an Austrian journalist.
He is often associated with the Schlager scene.
