Moti Special Greatest Hits 1985 - 2006

oti Special was a German new wave band, formed in 1981 in Hamburg, by Danish guitar player Nils Tuxen, Romanian keyboard player Michael Cretu, bassist/vocalist Manfred "Thissy" Thiers and drummer Reinhard "Dickie" Tarrach. All of the members had previous experience as session musicians. Thiers decided on the name of the band after visiting an Indian restaurant in London together with German-Israeli artist Moti Argaman, where they had the "special" (extra spicy) dish of the house.

It was not until 1985 that the band became successful.
Their debut hit "Cold Days, Hot Nights", was a major hit in Europe, reaching number 3 in Germany.
The second single "Don't Be So Shy" made it to number 9. The band's first album, Motivation, reached number 20 on the charts in that same year.

Michael Cretu left the band to pursue his solo career, and production work with various artists, including his wife, 80s pop sensation Sandra.

Nothing was heard of from the band again until 1989, when a new single, In Love We Stand, was released.
The album, along with its title-track, Dancing For Victory were not that well-received as the first album was.
Two new members had also been added: Frank Adahl – vocals/keyboards and Anders Mossberg – basses.
They were both session-musicians from Sweden. By then, Tuxen and Tarrach were the only original members still in the band.
