   So...it wasnt in the German musicians best interest to sing in their own language? Huh? Why? Because of success?

I found a lot of singing in the 70s to be questionable..but I assume that wasn't important to anyone of consequence. 

I thought Robert Plant was a lousy singer and I found it repulsive that a record executive or a manager would want you to sing like him. 

The music business in America was all about being commercial and or having a pretty face. Chi Coltrane had a pretty face and she turned her back on their demands. Years later she became a fan of Dream Theater 😃 

In America the music business is a joke.
