Otto Herman Max Brandenburg (4 September 1934 – 1 March 2007) was a Danish musician, singer and actor. He is often credited as Denmark's first Rock and roll singer and was considered a teen idol in the 1950s and 60s. Brandenburg released music and performed as an actor in Denmark, Sweden, and Germany. Some of his records in Germany were released under the pseudonym Ole Brandenburg. Over the course of his career, he performed in around 60 films and series. Brandenburg learned to play the violin at an early age and played in the Danish Youth Symphony Orchestra. He eventually left the orchestra to focus on singing and learning the guitar. Brandenburg briefly performed with Ib Glindemann's swing orchestra before forming the vocal quartet Four Jacks between 1955 and 1956, alongside Poul Rudi, John Mogensen and Bent Werther. In 1958, Brandenburg left the group to pursue a solo career producing Danish rock. Initially, his style borrowed heavily from Elvis Presley's softer material and his debut as a solo artist, "I believe", has been compared to Elvis' gospel-inspired songs.
