plans, especially since a surge of interest in music has begun all over the world
1980s.
The eighties of the last century are the years of the era of crazy "disco". In fact, this style of music appeared a little earlier, in the 70s, but it was ten years later that its apogee happened. He took over the whole world.
And for us, residents of the post-Soviet space, it is also a reminder of the turning point of eras, because it was during the years of "disco" that the period of stagnation and restructuring fell. The country has changed dramatically. How have our idols changed?
SANDRA
German by mother and French by father, she became famous all over the world after her first hit “Maria Magdalena” appeared in March 1985. It became a hit number 1, Sandra began to be called the "European Madonna". And along with fame, she also found personal happiness: she married her producer Michael, they settled in Ibiza and gave birth to two children.
In 1990, Michael started a new project - "Enigma", where Sandra's vocals were used as an accompanying voice.
After a divorce from her husband, she gave up her musical career and only from time to time performs at festivals with her old hits.
SAMANTA FOX
In fact, the parents were seriously involved in raising their daughter and expected gratitude from her in the future in the form of a good diploma and a prestigious position.
But everything turned out that Samantha made a scandalous and at the same time dizzying career. Which began with a photo for the yellow British newspaper Sun, on the third page of which pictures of British beauties were published. Then naked Samantha was filmed for advertising, she appeared on television and became an international model.
For a long time he met Australian Peter Forster, they adopted the boy Simon, but he died, having drunk a bottle of alcohol by mistake. Samantha and Peter never got married. And then there were rumors about her unconventional sexual orientation.
SI SE KETCH
After leaving school, she went to work at a garment factory: her parents wanted her to devote her life to tailoring and considered it promising. Would they imagine what prospects a musical career opens up!
Once, at a music competition, the German composer and member of the Modern Talking group Dieter Bohlen became interested in her voice, invited her to his studio to listen - and away we go!
Several years ago, in an interview with Komsomolskaya Pravda, Si Si Ketch shared the secret of how she manages to look so stunning despite the years: “The secret of my beauty is love! To look good, you have to fall in love more often! Love is the most important thing in life, whoever this love is, whatever it is for you "
DIETER SICK AND THOMAS ANDERS (MODERN TALKING)
Who would know where you will find, where you will lose! In February 1983, Dieter went to a recording studio and asked if there was a suitable artist for one of his compositions. Thomas answered. And their friendship stretched over many years.
Although, how to say friendship is rather cooperation, and even competition, because over time they began to pull the blanket each over themselves, there were many disputes, and subsequently Dieter even spoke unflatteringly about Thomas in his book, after which he achieved substantial compensation through the court for unproven insults and removal of the most controversial passages from the book.
Over time, Bohlen took up the production of C.C. Ketch. And he became famous for such a juicy detail that twice ... ahem ... he broke his penis. Both times during sex, which he honestly admitted in his book.
SABRINA
Once this pretty Italian girl pulled out a lucky ticket: she won a beauty contest and became "Miss Liguria". Then she received an invitation to one of the TV channels owned by Silvio Berlusconi. Subsequently, it was he who helped Sabrina break into show business.
Or maybe it's her non-standard appearance after all. With a height of 155 cm, the girl had a large chest of the fourth size.
Several incendiary hits and thousands of candid photos on the covers of magazines and in the cabs of truckers did their job - Sabrina became the star of the 80s.
LIZ MYITCHELL (BONEY M)
The lead singer of the group, as well as the co-author of some of the group's songs, was born in Jamaica, but has lived in England since childhood. Who knows how her fate would have developed if her parents had not emigrated to Europe. So she got into the Caribbean music quartet, which won about 200 gold and platinum discs, was entered in the Guinness Book of Records for sensational sales in the UK and some other countries.
Currently, Liz officially owns the rights to perform under the Boney M brand and continues to tour. is actively involved in charity work through its fund to help children and adolescents from disadvantaged families. The singer also spends a lot of money on supporting education.
NATALIA GULKINA
In Russia - or rather, then the USSR - also had its own "disco" stars. Electroclub, Forum, Tender May, Fairy, Combination, Freestyle, Kar-man, Mirage ...
The last group is one of the most famous, and from time to time they still give concerts. Over the years, many vocalists have changed, but Natalia Gulkina was the first to appear on the stage with Mirage's songs.
A couple of years later, she gave way to other soloists, and she started her own project - the "Stars" group, in which "Disco" became the most popular composition (in the video below).

" Tears ran down her cheeks. “What's wrong with her? Maybe someone died with her? " - whispered sympathetic parishioners, looking at the upset beauty. They were right. The girl cried, having lost the one whom she had dreamed of for so long - the child.
Due to nervous breakdowns, her pregnancy was interrupted in the fifth month ...
Get out of hell
My name is Carolina. Caroline Katharina Müller, a 14-year-old green-eyed girl, modestly stopped at the doorstep of her new class.
Your German is disgusting, Fraulein Müller, ”her teacher said sternly. - You will have to work hard on yourself to achieve positive results. Until then, sit down at the last desk.
Carolina passed, sat down. For the love of this school, this city and this country, she will still have to fight!
The future pop star was born and raised in Holland, in the town of Oss. When the girl was 8 years old, the family moved out of town - to the small village of Geffen. And then there was a whole string of transfers from place to place - almost every year. The girl's father, Peter Müller, worked in Germany: there, in the 1970s, there was an active construction of housing throughout the country. And Peter worked as a grinder of clinker products - the material from which bricks and tiles for pavements were made ... He kept leaving for the next construction site, and after him his wife began to collect suitcases. To the requests of her daughter, who did not want to part with her friends, she only answered: “Honey, the family should be together. Well, how are we without dad? "
So they finally ended up in the city of Bünde in North Rhine-Westphalia. Karolina really liked it here - quiet beautiful streets, friendly people. But the school ... She always liked English - this language was spoken in her family. She understood a little French. But German, my father's native language, was not given in any way! The diary was full of failures, classmates scoffed, slipping dead frogs and spiders into the bag of "stupid" Karo ...
At home, the girl cried with resentment, her mother sighed, and dad calmed his baby. “You’ll show them all,” he said. "You will definitely achieve a lot!" And he held out a microphone to his daughter.
My father had a tape recorder and a bunch of phonograms "minus one", that is, the melody of the song without words. Every day the girl arranged solo concerts. The parents believed that their baby would definitely become a singer.
But after graduating from school, Karolina entered the Faculty of Design and Design of Clothes at the University of Cologne: she liked drawing no less than singing. And at the same time, she began to earn money at a garment factory. Later, having already become a star, she recalled that time as the most nightmarish in her life: “The bullying of classmates was just laughter compared to the atmosphere in the factory. We were constantly shouted at, we worked 15 hours a day. "
“Hey you, how are you there,” the shop manager once asked her. "Today you will be sewing buttonholes." Carolina silently set to work, carefully drawing out each stitch, and he stood with a stopwatch and urged: "Faster, even faster, mediocre!" Karo finished her work, packed her things and left, never to return to this hell. She worked at the factory for three years.
The whole world learned about her!
On the day when Carolina left the factory, she did not want to go home - and she looked into the bar where her friend Madd worked.
How are you, baby? - He asked, handing the girl whiskey and cola.
Disgusting, - said Caroline through tears.
Relax, we have great musicians playing today. Do you want me to introduce you?
She asked for more whiskey. The alcohol warmed up the girl. She famously danced to the songs of an unknown German group. Oh, how she danced, how she sang! After the concert, a guy approached her:
Baby do you wanna sing and dance in our group?
Of course, - answered Caroline and left him her phone number.
The next day she felt bad. She realized two things: that she would never drink again in her life and that more than anything in the world she wants to become a singer!
The girl began to build her career: she enrolled in guitar courses, took up jazz dancing and began to take part in all competitions for young performers. Parents supported their daughter in everything. The father left his previous job and became the manager of Carolina. He even opened the Orbit-music agency, which organized concerts and competitions for young talent.
At competitions Karo was noticed, encouraged in every possible way and even offered contracts. But when the girl and her father came to the office of the record companies and read these contracts, it turned out that the conditions in them were completely unfavorable for the singer. The producers just wanted to cash in on it. And then Carolina went to work for producer Peter Kent in his Optimal quartet. Four girls, who had known each other since the talent contests, sang simple songs. The people liked them, they were often invited on tour. The girl group released two singles in Germany - "Er War Magnetisch" and "The Goodbye" and toured the country.
Before Carolina (second from left) became C.C. Ketch, she sang in the Optimal girl quartet (rare archive photo, Germany, 1984)
Once the voice of Karolina was heard by one of the founders and soloists of the already famous group Modern Talking Dieter Bohlen. He asked: "What is this birdie with a diamond voice?" It turned out that Dieter had been looking for a suitable "material" for producing for a long time. “This is our little Caroline! Golden girl! - answered Peter Kent. "Don't you dare offend her!"
Dieter Bohlen helped C.C. Ketch achieve world fame
The next day, Karolina came to Dieter's studio to audition. And an hour later she signed a lucrative contract. Together they came up with a pseudonym. Carolina wanted to keep in her stage name C C - the first letters of her name are Carolina Katarina. And Dieter added "Catch" (translated from English - to catch. - Approx. "TN"), deciding that this word in its sound is ideal for the name of the future queen of the stage.
On May 31, 1985, the first single of the future pop star, written by Dieter Bohlen, was released. The song instantly hit the European charts. About S.S. Catch was recognized by the whole world!
She was 21 when she met her first love. It was in Berlin on the set of one of the television programs. Karolina was the first to notice the guy in tattered jeans and asked the make-up artist who it was. “The drummer from the Aquamarine group. It seems his name is Frank, ”she replied.
Their happiness lasted three years - until Frank betrayed her (with music producer Frank Freund, 1988)
After filming, Caroline approached Frank. They spent this evening together. Two weeks later, he moved to live with her, and a month later became her music producer. He was her first love, the first man, the first to leave a scar on her heart.
The popularity of C.C. Ketch grew every day. Her debut album "I Can Lose My Heart Tonight" was well received by the audience. Singles topped the charts in Belgium, Spain, all of Scandinavia and the countries of Eastern Europe, she is adored by the youth of the Soviet Union. She did this, she earned the love not only of her country, but of the whole world. Men adored her, girls imitated her. Her cat eyes drove everyone crazy.
In 1988, C.C. Ketch changed her image: leather jackets, leggings, rivets were replaced by wide trousers and long nails, and her new short haircut became the standard for girls in the 1980s.
Before the European tour in 1988, C.C. Ketch radically changed her image. She entrusted this to the Cleopatra salon in Paris, where she specially flew for one day. Her new hairstyle became the standard for many girls in the 1980s.
“Where are we going to start, Karo? Frank asked, scheduling her future tour. " “I would like to be with Bunde,” replied Caroline.
The hall was packed to capacity - the whole town was gathered here! Karo knew that those who once poisoned her life would also come to see her. And suddenly she began her speech in front of the audience:
- My German is still bad, Frau Stolz! And I still can't sew a buttonhole in 10 seconds, Herr Limberger. But I want to say thank you to all of you - for helping me make a choice in favor of music ...
"I will destroy you!"
“Dieter, can I write some songs? I have some sketches, ”she once timidly turned to her producer Karo. "No!" - he answered sharply. He believed that all poetry and music should be under his control. Offended, Karo decided to break the contract with Dieter Bohlen.
O! It cost her a lot! The first tangible blow struck her ... Frank, who preferred to stay with Dieter, offered him a drum position in his new project Blue System. And upon learning that Karo was expecting a child, Frank said: "I have nothing to do with this." He absolutely did not want the child to tie him hand and foot. Moreover, he doubted that Carolina could be as successful without Bohlen.
And Dieter was angry in earnest. “I'll take everything from you! he shouted. - I will destroy you! You will still crawl on my knees! "
A string of ships stretched out. Dieter took away the rights to all the songs that he wrote, and attempted the stage name of the singer - S.S. Catch. Karo held on as best she could. Only her parents encouraged her at this time. “Be strong, daughter! You will show them all! " - consoled, as in the good old days, father.
Carolina defended her stage name, paying Dieter Bohlen $ 5 million. But she lost the most precious thing she had - Frank and the baby she carried under her heart.
Subsequent work of C.C. Ketch was no longer so successful. She released a new album, which reached 26th in the German charts. But the fans bought it out - by inertia. In the early 1990s, the singer first visited the USSR as a guest of the Step to Parnassus festival, then took part in the filming of the Bravo-91 program and in the Chernobyl Children - Our Children festival-action, among the organizers of which was Karolina's father. Over a hundred artists from Germany, Great Britain, the Soviet Union, Italy, Sweden and others took part in this concert. After releasing her sixth studio album, Carolina left the music industry, as it seemed to her, forever.
She moves from Germany to Great Britain, to London. She begins to engage in spiritual development, a year later she marries her yoga teacher. But after 3 years the marriage falls apart
God never sent them children, which was the main reason for the divorce.
10 years later, in 2001, Carolina decides to return to the stage. Life again confronts her with Dieter Bohlen. “I knew that you would come back,” is all that Dieter said when Karo called him.
Together they released an album of her most famous hits in a new modern arrangement, recorded two singles and ... scattered again. Returning to the big stage, Karolina began to appear on TV, her joint tour with the groups Bad Boys Blue, Fancy and Silent Circle showed that the audience still loves her and is looking forward to the release of the new album.
The singer is desired and loved, but God still has not given her the most important thing: a loving husband and children. Karo is said to be engaged to her current young boyfriend, but whether or not there will be a wedding is unknown.
... What did she do wrong?
Caroline's mom Corrie Muller accompanies her daughter on all tours (2007)
Si Si Ketch met the group "Reckless Scammers" on a tour in Siberia, in 2007
Having won the song contest "Hello, we are looking for talents!" The quartet became popular, the girls began to tour the country.
In 1985 in Hamburg, the popular German singer and composer Dieter Bohlen, the lead singer of the Modern Talking group, saw a performance. He heard Caroline and asked Peter Kent: "What is this birdie with a diamond voice?" “This is our little Caroline! Golden girl! ”- answered the producer. "Don't try to offend her!" Bohlen invited Caroline to record in his studio. The next day she arrived, began to sing - and an hour later she signed her first professional contract.
In 1985, 21-year-old in Berlin, on the set of one of the TV shows, Carolina met her first love - the drummer of the Aquamarine group Frank Otto. The singer noticed a guy in tattered jeans and asked the make-up artist who it was. And after filming I went up to him. The acquaintance grew into a whirlwind romance, two weeks later Frank moved to live with her. He also began to determine the schedule of her tour - with Bohlen's blessing, he became her music manager instead of his father.
By the way, he also brought the rising star, working with Bohlen himself, to the town of Bunde, where she was attacked by her classmates as a child. The whole city gathered for her concert! It was the moment of triumph for the singer, who had already been recognized as Si Si Ketch.

By the way, people often ask me: "Carolina, if you hadn't become a singer, then who could you have become, what profession do you still like?" Before, I always answered very categorically: "None!
