Larry Heard
Larry Heard (born May 31, 1960, Chicago, Illinois) is a Memphis, Tennessee-based musician widely known for the Chicago-based house music he produced during the mid-1980s and continues to produce today. He was leader of the influential group Fingers Inc. and has recorded solo under various names, most notably Mr. Fingers. He is regarded as a pioneer of deep house music, moving house music away from its "posthuman tendencies back towards the lush" soulful sound of early disco music (particularly that of old Philadelphia International and Salsoul records).
Biography
Born on the South Side of Chicago, Heard grew up hearing jazz and Motown at home, and could play several instruments from a young age. Before beginning his solo musical career in 1983, he was drummer, at the age of 17, in the band Infinity (a jazz fusion cover group that included Adonis). He is sometimes cited as having been a member of the Manhattan Transfer, but Heard has denied this, saying, "[I] filled in for somebody on one show." He also worked for the US government as a benefit authorizer, which enabled him to buy his first studio equipment. Although he has created much music and his career is ongoing, he is best known for recording these songs, mostly from the mid-1980s:

Leere Worte
by: Boehse OnkelzUm unsere Köpfe
Schwirrt kein - Heiligenschein
Doch wir sind immer noch reiner
Als ihr glaubt zu sein
Denn wir sind
Wir sind Teil
Eines göttlichen Plans
Wir sind Hart aber Herzlich
Phänomenal
Wir sind menschliche Tiere
pure Energie
Laßt es uns tun
Laßt uns das Land verderben
Laßt uns die Kugeln spüren
Laßt uns in Freiheit sterben
Wir sind -
Kein krankes Organ
ihr könnt uns nicht entfernen
Mythologien - brauchen
Lange bis sie sterben
Tötet mich -
Doch was tötet Dämonen?
Nichts tötet die Onkelz
Nichts kann uns entthronen
Denn -
Helden leben lange
Doch Legenden sterben nie
