DAVID

David's 5th studio album, titled, "David" would be released in 1991 on the BMG Music label. Following the success of his previous 2 albums, David ventured into a bit of a new style of music with this record. The albums first track "Do The Limbo Dance" is a great, feel good, dance track that David still enjoys performing in concert to this day. Other singles from this album include "Gipsy Girl", "Hands Up For Rock N Roll", and "Are You Still In Love With Me". This album was released on LP, CD, and cassette, and would also be released, minus 2 tracks, under the title "Close To Heaven", which is also a track on the album. Although this one is out of print, its worth getting your hands on, as there are some really great songs on this one!

THE BEST IS YET TO COME

"The Best Is Yet To Come", from the 1993 album "You Are Everything", was released as a cd single and 45rpm. This song, a favorite of David's, was also the name of his 1993 concert tour, and has been performed live in several of his concerts, including his 1994 pay-per-view US concert. The single/45 features the radio edit of the track and the B-side "Hot Shot City.

NOBODY BUT YOU

In the 1992 film "Ring Of The Musketeers", David portrays modern day musketeer, John Smith D'Artagnan. The action comedy which also stars Cheech Marin and Corbin Bernson, features a scene in which David's character has a rock concert in order to lure the criminals into town. During that concert, David performs the song "Nobody But You". Although this film/European series did have a soundtrack, this track was unfortunately not on it. I have been able to get my hands on the demo performed by Keith Landry, however, the only known release of David's version this cool track is in the film itself!

YOU ARE EVERYTHING

David’s 7^th studio album, “You Are Everything”, was released in Europe in 1993 on the BMG label. This album was a huge contrast from his previous album “Everybody Sunshine”, in that this album would feature several soft rock songs produced by such well known producers as Bruce Swedien and Rene Moore. The albums first single, and the lead track on the album is “Dance Dance D’amour”. “If I Could Only Say Goodbye”, “Wir Zwei Allein”, & “Miracle Of Love” are just a few of the popular and well known tracks from this album. Several of these songs would not only go on to be released as singles, but were also a part of David’s 1995 self-titled album released in the USA. In addition to the albums singles, the song “Tighter And Tighter” was also featured on an episode of Baywatch. David also recorded a song called “Hit And Run” for this album, but it was not released. The only way to ctach this one is on the “Behind The Scenes” video released that same year. All in all, this is 1 Hofftastic album that you need to get your hands on. It was released on cd and cassette, and in 2 different versions. Version 1 contains the song “Wir Zwei Allein Heut Nacht” and version 2 has the English version “A Star Looks Down Tonight”.

FISH HUNTER

David recorded the campy tune "Fish Hunter" for the soundtrack of the film Piranha 3DD in 2012. Playing himself in this crazy sequel to the 2010 hit Piranha 3D, David really turns it up a notch with this crazy song and video which is found at the end of the film!

FEELING GOOD

Although he has yet to release a recording of "Feeling Good", David has not only performed the song on America's Got Talent, and his Hoff Is Back dvd, but has performed this song live in several of his recent concerts. The song was written by Anthony Newly and Leslie Bricusse for the musical The Roar Of The Greasepaint - The Smell Of The Crowd in 1964. David always takes this one a step further and really puts a show into his performance, to go with his stellar vocals!

TRUE SURVIVOR

Released in 2015 with the underground HIT film Kung Fury, David's single "True Survivor" was a world wide smash. The song has over 23 million views on both YouTube and Vevo. David has said on record that he is proud to have a been a part of this project, and that this is his favorite song that he has ever recorded. We can only hope that it leads to more 80's style music in the near future! The song is available worldwide on iTunes, and was released on the albums vinyl soundtrack, as well as a 45 rpm.

WATCH OUT FOR HASSELHOFF

"Watch Out For Hasselhoff" is a compilation album released in Nov. of 1999. The album features 4 different versions of "Looking For Freedom". The original album version kicks off the album. We also get 3 remixes of the song throughout the album. Other hits such as "Do The Limbo Dance", "Crazy For You", and "Torero - Te Quiero" are also included on this one! Although the albums title is a take on the "Baywatch" name, it is a different album then "Watch Out For The Bay", which was released in 1995.

IS EVERYBODY HAPPY - ALBUM

The compilation album, "Is Everybody Happy", was released in Europe in 1995 on the Ariola Express label. The album features singles and album tracks from the albums, "Looking For Freedom", "Crazy For You", "David", & "Everybody Sunshine". This is a hard one to find on cd or cassette, but the tracks are readily available on iTunes from other albums and compilations. If you can get your hands on it, be sure to add it to your collection!

LET'S DANCE TONIGHT

David's single "Let's Dance Tonight" was released in early 1991, and was featured on his 1990 album "Crazy For You". The song was originally recorded in 1984 by Pia Zadora, and was the title of one of her albums. David's version of the song has often been performed live at his shows around the world, and is often a crowd favorite. The song was released as a 12" vinyl single which included a long version, and instrumental version, and the album cut of "One And One Make Three". It was also released as a 45 rpm, and a cd maxi single with the same tracks. You can also find the digital download of this one on iTunes.

ARE YOU STILL IN LOVE WITH ME

The single "Are You Still In Love With Me" was released in 1991. The song is from the 1991 album "David". This awesome ballad was also featured in an episode of Baywatch. This one was only released as a 45rpm with the B-side "Gipsy Girl". You can still find this track on several compilation albums as well as digital download.

JE T'AIME MEANS I LOVE YOU

Released in 1989 on the album "Looking For Freedom", the song "Je T'Aime Means I Love You" was David's third single from the album. This song would go on to become a hit that David still performs live in concert around the world. There were a few different versions of the track released as a single. It was released as a 45 rpm with the B-side "Torero Te Quiero", as well as a 12" vinyl single and a cd maxi single. There was also a 45rpm and a 12" vinyl single released with the B-side "Yesterday's Love", which is extremely rare and hard to find. The song also features a very cool music video which can be found on the DVD "Live And Forever".

NIGHT ROCKER - SINGLE

Although the album itself was released in 1984/85 worldwide, there was a 45 rpm single of "Night Rocker" released in 1987. The 45 was released in Holland and is extremely rare. It features the album version of "Night Rocker", and the B-Side "She Cried".

HOLD ON MY LOVE

This rare 2 track cd single, "Hold On My Love", was released by Polydor Records in 1997. The song is from the album "Hooked On A Feeling". A cool feature of this one, is that it was not in a regular plastic cd case, but rather a cardboard picture sleeve. Track 2 is the album version of "I Live For Love".

DARLING I LOVE YOU

"Darling I Love You" taken from David's 1992 album "Everybody Sunshine" was released in Europe as a 45rpm. Although this one was the B-side of "The Girl Forever", it did get its own released as well, with its B-side being "It Feels So Right". Like many releases that are only released as a 45, it is difficult to track down. However, you can still find the song itself on the "Everybody Sunshine" album, as well as digital download.

TORERO - TE QUIERO

Torero - Te Quiero was originally released on David's 1989 album "Looking For Freedom". The song, written by Jack White and Mark Spiro, was recorded by Englebert Humperdink in 1986 with the title "Torero (She Brings Him Spanish Roses)". David's version was a hit in 1989, and would become a song that he would perform live for many years in concerts around the world. The single was released as a 45rpm with the B-side being "Is Everybody Happy (US Mix)". The song was also featured on the cd maxi single of "Je T'Aime Means I Love You". Additionally, it can be found on several compilation albums released over the years.

WIR ZWEI ALLEIN

David's 1993 album "You Are Everything" brought with it quite a few hits. The biggest of them being "Wir Zwei Allein" , or as listed on the album, "Wir Zwei Allein Heut Nacht". This song is a duet with European music star Gwen Obertuck. Gwen had several hits in Germany, and sand several songs for Disney before dueting with David. This beautiful song is a conversation between and father and his daughter discussing the mother's passing and the love they all share. The song was recorded by David and Gwen  in both German and in English as "A Star Looks Down Tonight". It was released as a maxi-cd single which included "A Star Looks Down Tonight", and "San Pedro's Children", as well as a 45rpm. David would also record the song in French, "Au Ciel, Une Etoile" with Nadge. He also discussed recording the song in Spanish, but no known recording has ever been released. David still performs this song in many of his live concerts around the world.

NIGHT ROCKER

In 1984, at the height of Knight Rider, David entered the recording studio with producer Joel Diamond, to record his first studio album "Night Rocker". The album's cover featured David holding an electric guitar on top of a Pontiac Trans-Am. This album would be made up of both rock songs and ballads, some of which would be featured on the Knight Rider episode, Let It Be Me.


With rock tracks like the title cut "Night Rocker", "the duet "Our First Night Together", & "No Way To Be In Love", David shows that even early on in his music career, he knew how to rock! There are also awesome tracks such as "No Way To Be In Love" and "Any Kind Of Love At All" which showcase David's vocals on ballads as well. David also delivers his version of the Jay & The Americans classic "She Cried", and the Hofftastic "Crazy On A Saturday Night".


Over the years, there have been several compilations and variations of this album released. Some latter version contain an added medley and extended blaster mix of "Night Rocker". This is the one that started it all!

YOU'RE NOT GUILTY

Well known DJ Peter Presta collaborated with David Hasselhoff to release the maxi-cd titled "You're Not Guilty". Released in Switzerland, this song again demonstrates David's awesome talent range, as this one, a club hit, is again a departure from what we're used to hearing David perform. There are 3 versions of the song on the cd, all worth checking out!

LIFE IS MOSTLY BEAUTIFUL WITH YOU

"Life Is Mostly Beautiful With You" was released as a 45rpm single by CBS records in 1987. The song appears on the album "Lovin' Feelings", as well as several other compilation cd's and LP's. The B-side of the record is "How Deep Is Your Love". This record was released in the Netherlands, and is extremely hard to get your hands on. However, the song is readily available on both cd and digital download around the world. This one is a country tune, in which David vocalizes his feelings towards the woman he is with. He has performed this one live in concert, as well as televised appearances.

CLOSE TO HEAVEN

Following the release of his 5th studio album "David" in 1991, the album "Close To Heaven" was released in Europe. This album would be a reworking of the "David" album, containing 10 of it's 12 original tracks. Missing from this one are "In Stereo", and " Feeling So High". "Close To Heaven" gets its title from one of the albums tracks, a ballad about a relationship coming to an end, but with the hope if it being saved. This album was released on LP, cd, and cassette on the White Records label. If you search hard enough, you may be able to track this one down!

AM I EVER GONNA SEE YOUR FACE AGAIN

Released in 2013, with proceeds of sales going to charity to benefit the songs writer and Australian music legend Doc Neeson of The Angels, the song "Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again" was released worldwide on iTunes. David and several musicians recorded this awesome track for Doc in just 2 takes. The songs added racy lyrics that normally accompany it in live performances were replaced with 'no way you'll touch our Doc'. David also performed this one live during his recent Australian tour, as well as with the late great Doc Neeson himself! Be sure to download this Hofftastic track today!

EVERYBODY SUNSHINE

David's 6th studio album, titled "Everybody Sunshine" was released in 1992 by Ariola/White Records. This album would be a departure from the style that we were used to from David's previous albums. It would also mark his final album produced by Jack White. There were 3 singles released from this album, as well as a number of tracks that David would go on to perform live throughout the world.


The title track "Everybody Sunshine", which would go on to become the Official Song of the 1993 International Youth Games, is feel good song, that David still performs live to this day. "The Girl Forever", the albums second single, has also been performed by David in concert, and on television. The album version is also a completely different studio recording than the single release. This song in particular, as well as a host of others from this album have a country theme. David adapts easily into the country genre and carries this song, as well as the album as a whole, beautifully.


The album does feature some ballads that are Hofftastic as well. The Laura Branigan cover "Foolish Lullaby", and "You're All I Want" are also 2 memorable tracks from this one. A standout to me, and my favorite song from David to this very day is the country style ballad "Somewhere In A Dream". Many of David's fans around the world share the same feeling on this tune, and are hoping to see it make a resurgence down the line.


With 12 tracks, including a remix of "Is Everybody Happy", this one is a must own for Hoff fans. It was originally released on LP, CD, and cassette.

THE BEST HOFF - 3 CD COLLECTION

Shortly after the release of his 2011 album "A Real Good Feeling", Ariola Music released what is, in my opinion, the best David Hasselhoff box set compilation to be released as of yet. The collection titled "The Best Hoff" is a 3 cd set containing lots of songs from David's earlier released on the Ariola label. Not only do we get the classic hits and singles like "Looking For Freedom", "Crazy For You", & "Do The Limbo Dance", but we also get tons of great album tracks that were not released as singles, and up until this point were very hard to track down if their albums were no longer available.




The first disc of the set contains the song "Somewhere In A Dream" from the "Everybody Sunshine" album, which had never before been released on any compilation. We also get "Sheltered Heart" which was only available on "Looking For Freedom", and its Ariola Express version. "Was It Real Love" and "Foolish Lullaby" are also included in this set.




Although this one was limited in it's release, it's worth going the extra Hoff mile to track it down and add it to your David Hasselhoff music collection!

CALIFORNIA GIRL

Taken from his 2011 album "A Real Good Feeling", "California Girl" was the second single released by David from his comeback album. The single, released on the Ariola label features "Lonely Days & Lonely Nights", also from the album, as track 2. It is extremely rare to find, and was only available for a short time as a promo single. David sings about finding a girl, from anywhere in the world and bringing her back to America to be his California girl. The video was also released that same year, and was filmed on location in California. You can check out this song on either version of the album "A Real Good Feeling".

I BELIEVE

The David Hasselhoff & Laura Branigan duet "I Believe" was released in 1994 on the the Baywatch soundtrack, and as a cd single. The song is known to fans of Baywatch as the theme played during the shows ending credits for several years of the shows run. The single features the title track, as well as the Hoff's awesome track "Days Of Our Love", and a song called "Ooh La La" also featured on the Baywatch soundtrack.

UNCHAIN MY HEART

One song that David has loved performing live over the years has been the classic tune "Unchain My Heart". Written by Bobby Sharp and originally recorded by Ray Charles, David has performed this one over the past several decades at live shows and TV appearances. From the Freedom Tour '90, which can also be found on the "Live & Forever" dvd, to his live show at London's O2 arena in 2012, he leaves us with a memorable performance every time.

FLYING ON THE WINGS OF TENDERNESS

Released in 1989 on the "Looking For Freedom" album, the song "Flying On The Wings Of Tenderness" would go on to become a favorite not only of David's, but of his fans around the world. Written by Jack White and Mark Spiro in 1986 and recorded in Europe by Rouven under the title "Together", this awesome ballad is one that takes listeners on a journey of a couple in love. David's vocals shine in this one, and it's catchy melody will have you singing along during and after listening. Although the song was on the album "Looking For Freedom", and released as a 12" vinyl single, 45 rpm, and cassette single, this tune is available both digitally and on several compilation albums.

MIRACLE OF LOVE

Shortly after the release of the album "You Are Everything" in 1993, the album "Miracle Of Love" was released in the UK. This album was a reworked version of "You Are Everything" minus a few songs, and with the addition of the track "Blame It On The Night". This track would only be made available on this album, and the single "Summer Of Love" a year later. Also featured is an English version of "Wir Zwei Allein" titled "A Star Looks Down Tonight". This album really has a great mix of ballads and rock songs. Originally, this was the album to be released in the USA in January of 1995, until plans changed and David released his self titled album "David Hasselhoff" on April 11, 1995.

GIPSY GIRL

The Hoff's 1991 album "David" brought us quite a few hit singles. Among them is "Gipsy Girl". The song, written by Jack White & Charles Blackwell, is a dance track with a memorable melody that will have you moving to the beat from its opening chords. David sings of a mysterious Gipsy Girl that dances with him and romances him, only to vanish and leave him searching for her. David has performed this song live quite a bit as well, including an awesome performance from the 2011 Hoff Is Back Tour.

SONG OF THE NIGHT

The song "Song Of The Night" was released by David as a single in 1989. Originally appearing on his "Looking For Freedom" album, this track was released as a 12" vinyl single, as well as a cd single. Written by Barry Mason, Jack White, & Norbert Hammerschmidt, this Schlager style tune tells the story of a man who spends his days with the girl of his dreams, only to watch her return to the arms of another when the night comes. The video was also released in 1989, and appears on the video "The Best Of David Hasselhoff".

FREEDOM FOR THE WORLD

Originally written and released by the great Paul Anka in 1987, the song "Freedom For The World" was recorded by David for his 1990 album "Crazy For You". The version recorded by David does have some different lyrics than the original recording. The song itself is a very powerful song with an important message, not just about freedom, but the state of the world, which still hold true to this day. The song was released as a cd single, 12" maxi single, and 45 rpm. There are also several live versions on video, most notably from David's 1994 pay per view US concert.

MORE THAN WORDS CAN SAY

The single "More Than Words Can Say" was released in 1997. The song was written by David along with the late Glenn Morrow and the late Wade Hubbard. David has been quoted as saying that this is one of if not his favorite song that he has recorded. There have been several releases of this song including it's original release on the album "Hooked On A Feeling", as well as a reworking of the album titled "More Than Words Can Say". The song was released as a cd single with 2 different covers, as well as a version with Czech singer Helena Vondrakova, which includes Czech language lyrics. It was also recorded in Spanish for David's unreleased Spanish album, and performed at the Vina Del Mar Festival in Chili in 2001.

LIVE & FOREVER

The Ariola DVD release, "David Hasselhoff Live & Forever" is one that Hoff fans must get their hands on! This Hofftastic dvd is a combination of the 2 videos they released in 1990 on VHS. "Live Freedom Tour '90" & "The Best Of David Hasselhoff". The dvd contains a live concert with nearly 20 songs, as well the music videos of 6 of David's early singles. If you can get your hands on a copy, don't wait!
