The most popular foreign singers in the USSR
Содержание
В USSR there was a lot of beautiful "his." music, but the Soviet people were also fond of foreign incendiary tunes. First it was the Beatles, but then the world was taken over by the disco maniawhich could not be avoided by such a huge country as the Soviet Union.
Gradually, fresh motifs began to penetrate behind the Iron Curtain. ABBA, Boney M. and many other bands of that time, including rock bands, were loved in our country. But they were especially popular foreign beauties: their posters hung in the rooms of thousands of Russian music lovers! So: which performers drove the whole Soviet Union crazy? We offer to remember these wonderful artists of our youth...
C. C. Catch
The USSR was very fond of C. C. Catchaka Caroline Katharina Müller. A girl from a poor working-class family put everything on the line, and she did not fail. At a tender age, Caroline faced a choice: to continue working in a garment factory or to give up everything and take up music. Mueller started singing. A short journey led to the ambitious girl being noticed Dieter Bolenand already a well-known Modern Talking star and legend! So began her solo career, which resulted in massive recognition and huge circulation....
C.C. Ketch It is impossible not to love her: talented as an artist, beautiful as a girl and nice as a person (judging by interviews). And her cat eyes and daring style of dressing made her an icon for many fans who strived hard to look like their favourite singer!
Sandra
Cute Sandra charmed the Soviet people. At first - as a most colourful and talented soloist Arabesque. And then as a self-sufficient solo star. Her hit "Maria Magdalena" became legendary, and today there is not a person who grew up in the USSR who would not know him.
In the autumn of 1989, Sandra visited our country: she gave concerts for several days! The fans were absolutely delighted. The singer herself was very liked itexcept for an unheated hotel room and a tapped phone.
Sabrina Salerno
She may not have been the most talented singer. italo-disco, Sabrina found her audience, and far beyond the borders of her homeland. She was very much loved in the USSR: not the least role in this was played by the Italian's attractive looks, which helped Sabrina to reach great heights. Of course, her hits such as "Boys Boys Boys Boys" and "My Chico."they were good. But the sexy image promoted her career and actually caught the attention of producers.
We are sure: there were enough posters with Sabrina in our country. However, the artist later decided to leave the image of a sexy diva, as she said she had never wasn't thrilled from him. Her popularity has faded since her time, and she is probably only remembered today for "Boys Boys Boys Boys". Nevertheless, in her time, she shone ....
Agneta Fältskog
We've already mentioned ABBA. This Swedish collective had a rabid worldwide popularity that can be compared to Beatlemania - only in a disco key. Millions of domestic listeners to this day re-listen to them with great pleasure "Money Money Money Money", "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!", "Dancing Queen". and many other songs by this band. And it can't be otherwise, because this is how youth sounds...
The band lasted 10 yearsand broke up on a sad note when the personal relationships of the members began to deteriorate. Nevertheless, we still remember and love the good old ABBA and the beautiful girl. Agnetha Fältskog in particular.
Samantha Fox
About creativity Samantha Fox it's hard to say. She never became a popular singer, although she had at least a few cool tracks in her career in the vein of "Touch Me (I Want Your Body).". Alas, few took her as a singer seriously.....
From a young age, Samantha worked modellingand gradually her photos became more and more explicit. When she finally got tired of the job and felt she wanted to commit herself to music, the public did not believe her. It was seen as a kind of "hype".. And producers time and again emphasised her figure and past as a photo model, which caused Samantha only annoyance ....
Donna Summer
Exotic and extravagant - all of it. Donna Summer! This beauty epitomises the disco era, as many of her songs became big hits. In fact, you can still listen to them with pleasure today.
Summer was liked by the public for her voice, her looks, and her manner of performing and with the moves on stagethat seem like something out of this world. She was very well-liked here, though perhaps not as much as Sandra or C.C. Ketch.
Kim Wilde
Well, what's not to be without Kim Wilde? She can rightly be called the folk favourite of the Soviet listener - along with the other beauties on our list, of course.
Kim Wilde is famous for her bold style and sophisticated looks, as well as for her infectious tracks that are hard not to dance to. Many of the songs are still relevant today: they are often played on the radio, which has made them a kind of classic.
