C. C. Catch all musics (video clip)

When we talk about a good song can not remember the boom of music 80's and 90 's. Let us recall bands like Modern Talking , C.C.Catch, Sandra , Bad Boys Blue, Samantha Fox , Joey group were continuously hit musical programs on television and radio . These songs were turned into permanent hits and discos are just spinning the songs . These songs were hits my youthful times. And today I want to write about one of them is -C.C.Catch(Caroline Catherine Müller). Carolina had a parents of different nationalities. Father Jurgen, a German, living in Germany, and Corrie mother, a citizen of the Netherlands, lived with her daughter Caroline in Holland.

It is not known whether childhood Carolina typical disco singer, but it was not easy - that's for sure. The family moved from place to place, Osse, Geffen, Bunde. Varied classmates, friends. After graduating from elementary school (in the Netherlands is 6 classes, then you can choose), Caroline went to the housekeeping school. They learn everything that has to do with housekeeping. Disassemble the vacuum cleaner, learned to cook and wash clothes. Also taught the seller, such as the fact that the best things in the store are always right.

Up to 14 years old Carolina rarely saw his father, mother, Corrie was always looking for a way to connect family. Moving in Bünde and, accordingly, family reunion Mueller held. Carolina with my mother liked Germany. Caroline Joy took when she went to the 9th grade primary schools, where instruction was unknown to her then German.

After high school, she began to learn from the designer (clothing manufacturer) and to work in a sewing factory, it was a nightmare for her. The atmosphere was terrible. Chef always shouting and all exhausting. Most of the work by the piece. Carolina still studying - made buttonholes and sew sleeves. The director was almost with a stopwatch and only did what he said: "Faster, faster." The headmistress set people against each other. Who would not want to voluntarily work on Fridays longer laid, it oppressed. During overtime, too, there was nothing, even output. Chef was never satisfied with her efforts. About that time Caroline left the darkest memories.

One evening in the music pub in Bünde, she met with the musical group. She was asked whether she had the desire to dance and if she could not sing by accident. Caro has studied all this for some time secretly in her room, while she just sang contemporary hits. But she had not even dreamed of performing in public, is now Caro knew exactly what it should be: a singer.

Carolina beginning purposefully build his career, he took guitar lessons, went to Bad Oeynhausen on jazz dance and has participated in all the competitions of talents, held not far from the house. Because of her appearances on the work clothes factory suffered more. There was a scandal, Caro was ill. We had to make a decision. Muller Family gathered together, and my parents decided to support Caro career as a pop singer in every way. Caro's father left his profession clinker grinder, bought their own business 20 000 DM and founded the agency "Orbita" to organize the competitions most talent and help her daughter's career. Six months later, Caro left the hated work.

Caro: "If I had a better job, I would have never left."

She interrupted her studies and has experienced many false starts before reached a breakthrough. Carolina focused on talent shows and attracted the interest of people who imagine themselves the producers, she was offered to sign a personal contract with various record labels. In fact, the would-be producers just wanted to cash in on young and inexperienced Carolina.

One of them, for example, came up with a creative name of "Carol Dean," he promised a recording contract records and disappeared. Caro's father calls them fools: "Many only boasted But Caro had three ideal qualities:.. She could sing, look good on the stage and move I knew that it ever will open the real producer, but had to work hard on." Carolina Potential project SAROL DEAN has not yet been revealed, the song "Queen of Hearts" (Jess Newton), "C'est la vie" (Emily Harris) did not bring her success. But the door to attracting, and at the same time dangerous world of show business, was already open. Carolina this time preferred sorority, created a group called OPTIMAL. (Producer Peter Kent).

Girls (Sabine, Claudia, Silvia, Caro) knew how to rival another talent competition, where each performed a solo. Girl-band has released two singles in Germany "ER war magnnetisch" and "The goodbye" and toured Germany. Yet fortune smiled. In 1985, during a speech at the Young Artists Competition quartet "Optimal" was seen by a producer and member of the band "Modern Talking" Dieter Bohlen. He immediately said "brilliant" vocal of one of the participants of the Quartet - Carolina Muller. Despite the fact that at that time, in 1985, Modern Talking duo was at the height of success, Dieter found the time for a new project. The same evening Dieter invited the actress to audition in the studio, and after a while asked her to sign a very lucrative contract. Caro agreed. In the same 1985 Bohlen became her producer, he also came up with the name of the future of the project.

A new group called C.C.Catch by capitalization of its name "C" "C" and the word "Catch" as a synonym hit idea. Later, the group will join the kings of rap and dance Captain Hollywood & T.T.Frech.

In the summer of 1985, on the birthday of Caroline, the group's debut single was released S.S.Satch: "I Can Lose My Heart Tonight". The debut song immediately attacked the charts. Since then, the case Caroline Catherine Muller, received by Dieter Bohlen label C.C.CATCH, went up the hill. However, her name and identity for many people until the next release remained a mystery, as there was nowhere on the record indicated no real name or photo.

In early 1986, a second single, "Sause You Are Young", and soon the whole of Europe was fascinated by light as a summer breeze, the voice of the singer. The curiosity of the public was granted - on the cover shows a beautiful girl, and on the back of the plate given her name - Carolina Muller. The second song has become even more popular than the first and 86th debut album was released in the wake of the popularity of the spring. All songs on the album were written by Dieter Bohlen, he came up with the album title "CATCH THE CATCH" (get, say, result). S.S.Satch became her pseudonym, turning nepodrozhaemym Carolina with her voice in the disco queen. The cover disk favorite black cat - Morty. Cats - her favorite animals. Her father once said: "If you want to make my girl nice, give her a cat made of wood, glass, plastic - she collects them, and their houses a whole bunch."

The debut album immediately went platinum in Germany, gold in Spain. This is despite the fact that the album was only eight original songs, seven of which are shown in maxi versions.

My favorite song from the first album, the hit "Jump In My Car". Just with this song is connected mysterious story.

In one collection, published in Germany immediately after the release of the first album, there is a mysterious name SARO K. Another alias ??? Either he did not catch it, or something else, but this fact is, I think, had no effect on her future career and a great song about a car I really like.

By the way, Caroline knows how to drive a car, and at the beginning of the career she had two accidents.

First - Carolina went with his father from a studio in Essen, in Osnabruyuk car skidded, and she landed in a tree. "Peugeot" crashed, his father was so scared that Carolina had to pull his own, because the car could explode.

The second incident occurred on a country road, when Caroline was returning from a friend in Bilefilde. Slippery roads powder with snow, and turn red "Passat" has fallen into the ditch, wheels up.
In 1986, the "Hansa" record company has released a few more singles - "Strangers By Night", "Heartbreak Hotel". In the same year, Carolina won the title "Queen of Disco", which although a little tarnished by the lack of contenders, but just anyone and it is not appropriated. On Christmas Day 1986 the second album - "Welcome To The Heartbreak Hotel", and the disc has broken all records Long-play, the title song reached the eighth place and lasted eight weeks in the top 30. In the sale also receives and fresh single "Heaven And Hell" . As a result, he was named the best single ever released by the German record company. The song "Heaven And Hell" was held in the first place "Top 10 German" three weeks. Hits C.C.Catch long led the charts in Belgium, Spain, all the Nordic countries and Eastern Europe, well, the Soviet Union's popularity Carolina could not measure nor any charts. That's just the Soviet press did not indulge his attention, one of the most advanced editions of the Soviet Union, he wrote: "Hobbies - aerobics, dressmaking. My favorite color is black. For everyday wear prefers pale blue jeans and a jacket, combined with a yellow trousers men's shirt. By his attire is lush hair. "

Fans waited for the third single from the album - "Tears Will not Wash Away My Heartache". However, the drive for some reason did not come out.

Summer of 1987 all European radio first hit was a brand new song C.C.Catch "Are You Man Enough?". Track Name Carolina explains: "It's about those guys who" show off "in front of the girls, with nothing to his name."

After the release of the next single, "Soul Survivor" the number of fans has increased several hundred times, and "Soul Survivor" sought to "number one" in the Euro-charts.

At the same time Thomas Anders left the "Modern Talking", and the audience begins to exaggerate rumors that Caroline Muller would take the place of  Thomas. It is often accused of that style of singing was too similar to anything that makes "Modern Talking". Dieter Songs for Caro were no less melodic, but the romance and poetry in hits C.C.Catch was less. Dieter eventually creates a new group - "Blue System". Drummer in the band "Blue System" was a friend of Otto Frank Caro. Caro and Frank met at a TV show with the exhibition Radio 85. Frank, the same age as her, just graduated from high school, he graduated from the course at the roofer, and at that time was the drummer in the group of "Aquamarine." Soon they began to live together, and before moving to Berlin Caro and her friend occupied a whole floor in the house of her parents in Rezinghauze.

The third studio album, which hit song "Soul Survivor", called "Like A Hurricane". On the cover of Carolina appeared with a slightly shocking fans short hair - to make it, with Frank Carolina specially flew to Paris (in the morning to get back in the evening), the only salon, which has entrusted Carolina to change its image, bore the name of "Cleopatra." Also changed its appearance: the rivets are gone now Carolina prefers slacks and a very long fingernails, a sort of stylish cat - a robber, and her new haircut became the model for all the girls 80s.

The album "Like A Hurricane" C.C.Catch brought even greater success, and the spring of 1988 she goes on a European tour.

In May 1988, was a collection of the best songs of "House Of Mystic Light", the single became a hit, and his dance version was included in the compilation "Diamond", but the song itself is heard rechetativ rapper Captain Hollywood. His real name is Tony Harrison, besides rap he was fond of dancing and staged dance shows for Paula Abdul and Kim Wild.

Because of criticism of the similarity of styles from Modern Talking and Blue System, Caro asked Dieter Bohlen, he will not allow herself whether to write some songs for the next album. C.C.CATCH wanted to enjoy the music and the songs embody his own ideas. Bohlen answered briefly and sharply: "No!". Since he is still a producer Caro, all poetry and all music must be under its control. At this moment Caro decided to break off all relations with Dieter Bohlen, but thanks to good relations with the help of the international directors of BMG and Ariola, the fourth album titled "Big Fun" was released.

At the end of 1988 he was released the single "Backseat Of Your Cadillac", and the album "Big Fun" was the last released with Dieter Bohlen. Super hit "Nothing But A Heartache" was the last in her career, reached the "hot decyatki". In spite of everything, Dieter and Caro worked occasionally together until the end of 1989. In total they had recorded 12 singles and 5 albums.

In the summer of 1989, when Caro was staying in London, a collection of "Super 20" was released in Germany. There was a song "Summer Kisses". The song is great, but it did not have much popularity. And again, the rumors among the fans - if something went wrong at Karo or near Bohlen. The break occurred at the initiative of Carolina, which has decided that from now on it is able to do without his help. Transformed into a brunette with long curls, Caro began negotiations with the British producers. However, problems began where Carolina least expect them. Dieter said that as a pseudonym CCCatch was coined them, he owns all the rights to it, and now Carolina must be either under its own name or under a new pseudonym. After a great battle in the court the name CCCatch left for Carolina, nevertheless the court ordered her to pay several million former producer.

During the New Year's show in Spain Caroline met Simon'a Rapier Bell (former manager of the group "Wham!" George Michael). Simon was very interested to work with her, and from that time he became her manager. This time the contract was signed with the company "Metronome" (Polygram). The singer moved to live in Britain. In London Caro recorded the song "Big Time" - it was not the first "bolenovskaya" song. The sound composition was quite different from what C.C.Catch done before - it is a mixture of funk, soul and disco.
The new album "Hear What I Say" was recorded with new producers, among whom there were Andy Taylor (ex Duran-Duran), Dave Clayton (worked with George Michael and U2) and JO Dworniak. Authorship Carolina has seven songs. Two songs from the new album "Big Time" and "Midnight Hour" became popular, but with the old hits, they could not match, although the record hit the charts, finishing only 26th place in Germany. The album was sold by inertia her fans. But at the same time, BMG released the single "Baby I Need Your Love", along with a compilation of "Classics", which were presented to old hits, written by Dieter Bohlen. When C.C.Catch spins the next new single "Midnight Hour", Dieter produces "Good Guys Only Win In Movies"! This causes confusion among fans. All this can be called a boycott of the company BMG and Dieter Bohlen's new album C.C.Catch.

Title of the first album without Dieter can be interpreted as follows: Caroline Muller wants everyone to hear what she says, but not sick. C.C.Catch trudnouznavaemym singing voice in the songs "I'm Gonna Miss You" and "Back-girl". The sound was very different, there was a style of its own.

In the early 90s the situation around C.C.CATCH became calmer, and she first visited the Soviet Union.

In 1990, as a guest, she performed at the Festival of young novice artists "Steps to Parnassus." Answering journalists' questions at a press conference held during the filming of the festival, C.C.CATCH said: "In my life there were many competitions When I started, I took part in such contests, and they helped me a lot, I learned to stand on the stage, got used to. public, of course, such festivals as your "Step to Parnassus" are very helpful to identify new talents, they are very important. "

Especially remembered her visit to our country in 1991. C.C.Catch took part in the filming of the program BRAVO-91 and festival-action "Children of Chernobyl - our children." Sports Complex "Olympic" gave her the stage for the grand show, which was held on June 1-2. More than 100 artists from the Soviet Union, Germany, England, Italy, Holland, Sweden, Switzerland, Denmark agreed to participate in these concerts, among the guests were such stars as Bad Boys Blue, Blue System, Den Harrow. The organizers of the festival were her father Peter Muller (ORBIT-MUSIC) and Mikhail Chizhikov (Ekoniks), sponsor of Mosbiznesbank.

"Arriving in the USSR, I realized that there are many problems and apart from Chernobyl. But the pain of Chernobyl - one of the most, but my mind sharp. By participating in these concerts, I want once again to get people to remember those who are so scared and innocent I hurt. I'm glad that my participation in this charity event was a kind of help to sick children. "

Released six studio album Caro left with "Metronome" and the music industry to take a timeout.

During this "break" is focused on the spiritual development, he took up writing poetry and began to draw. A few years later he began to write his own songs and also started to practice yoga and other forms of meditation.

In 1998, Carolina Mueller married her teacher of meditation and yoga, after some time parted with him.

1998! She's with us again - she comes back, and it's great !!!

In Europe, the newly awakened interest in disco music.

C.C.CATCH for some time to resume cooperation with Dieter Bohlen. She agrees to do promotional work for BMG - a new compilation "Best of 98". It turned out two singles "C.C.Catch Megamix 98" and "I Can Lose My Heart Tonight 98". After recording in 1998, the most famous hits in new modern processing - with the addition of a bit of hard and repvokala - joined the band vocalist Kenneth Lewis, aka rapper KRAYZEE. It was his cheerful voice sounds in the new versions of its super-hits.

Caroline: "It's not so much part of the rapper in the recording studio, as his presence on the stage, he makes the show more incendiary."

KRAYZEE is a protege of Dieter Bohlen - Producer and soloist "Modern Tolking" group. Kenneth at one time worked with one of Bohlen's projects - a group of "Touche", sang with them a cover version of the classic disco music Y.M.C.A.

The threshold of the new century was reflected in the artistic image of Caroline Muller. Now C.C.Catch blonde. Her eyes still sparkle green, like a cat, the lights did not see that she was older, the same flawless figure. Her movements on stage became even more plastic and energetic.
