Adam & Eve (band)

Adam & Eve was the name of a German schlager music duo who have several hit records in Germany in the 1960s and 1970s. The group had two configurations.

First configuration

Eva Bartova (March 26, 1938, Bohemia - September 17, 1989, Chicago) emigrated to Germany in 1963, having studied classical ballet and voice in Czechoslovakia. She began recording with a group as Eve Bartova & the Bartovs, where she met John Christian Dee (February 1944, Tonawanda - August 18, 2004, London), an American who had moved to England in the 1950s. He became "Adam No. 1" in the new duo, Adam & Eve; they signed a recording contract in 1964 and released their first single in 1966. After a string of singles, some of which charted, they separated around the end of 1968.

Second configuration

Eve then joined the combo of Hartmut "Harry" Schairer (born February 23, 1946, Stuttgart), who became "Adam No. 2". They were married in 1972 and became one of the best-known Schlager duos in Germany. They divorced in 1982; Eve went on to marry the singer Jimmy Harrison for a short time, but this marriage ended as well, and Eve then moved to America, where she died of cancer. Hartmut went on to have a career as a composer and record producer.
