The Rainbows were a 1960’s German beat band from West Berlin. Their single “Balla Balla” was internationally successful and today it’s published as “My Baby Baby Balla Balla.” The members are Hartmut Munster (vocals, guitar), Rolf Schroder (vocals, guitar), Heinz-Dieter Heinze (drums), & Horst Lippok (bass).
They reached 3rd on the weekly German single charts with “Balla Balla” in 1965 and 16th place on the annual charts. In 1966, the band received the bronze Bravo Otto award from the youth magazine Bravo behind both the Beatles and the Rolling Stones due to their popularity in Germany .
At the beginning of the 1980s the Rainbows played again with new members in addition to the two founders Hartmut Munster and Hans Dieter Heinze came three other musicians of the Berlin scene: Burkhard Hamburger, Rudolf Fischer and Darko Presicek.
“Balla Balla” is an excellent re-working of Sam The Sham’s Wooly Bully & Ju Ju Hand is an excellent interpretations of the Sam The Sham’s 1965 hit of the same name.
