Captain Jack

About

Captain Jack is a German eurodance project founded in Darmstadt in 1995 by producer Udo Niebergall, built around a military drill-instructor persona. The title single topped charts in Hungary, Latvia and the Netherlands, went platinum in Germany, and the debut album The Mission reached number three in Finland. After original frontman Franky Gee died in 2005, the project reformed in 2008 with rapper Bruce Lacy, who still leads the act today alongside vocalist Illi Love.
