Peter Griffin (singer)

Peter Griffin (1939-2007) was a German disco musician.

Biography

Born Peter Kamp, he was the owner of a German discotheque called Griffin's, in the city of Baden-Baden. In 1979, he released "Spiderman" as his first single. Shortly thereafter, the extremely danceable 12-inch-version was released and the song became a major club hit that year.

He had two other club hits between 1980-1981. The songs were "Step By Step", which was originally released on Electrola Records of Germany. The song gained popularity as an import, and the fledgling Moby Dick Records picked it up for U.S. release, issuing a remixed version. The following year Electrola issued "Inside Out", another up-tempo number. No American company opted to license it, yet it still received good club exposure.

He is the father of actress/model Alexandra Kamp, born 1966.

Peter Griffin died January 2007, in Baden-Baden, Germany, at the age of 66.
