Hans Hugo Harold Faltermeyer (born 5 October 1952) is a German musician, composer and record producer. He has received numerous accolades and is internationally known for film scores of Hollywood blockbusters such as Beverly Hills Cop (which includes the influential synth-pop hit "Axel F"), Top Gun, The Running Man, and the Chevy Chase films Fletch and Fletch Lives.
