Klaus Doldinger is a German saxophonist known for his work in jazz and as a film music composer. He contributed film scores to the German U-boat film Das Boot (1981) and later The NeverEnding Story (1984). The characteristic lead melody of the soundtrack to Das Boot, composed and produced by Doldinger, became an international hit and took on a life of its own after German rave group U96 created a remixed techno version in 1991.
