Following two
Funky Fräuleins
compilations (2009 and 2011), the time has come for the
Beat Fräuleins
. Back we go, deep into the '60s, when the beat forced its way into the innocent world of German schlager, when the rhythm grew hotter and the lyrics sharper, the drums louder and the guitar more distorted.
Beat Fräuleins
brings together 19 highlights of the era.
Brigitt
's career began in the GDR, continued in the West in 1968 and ended at the age of 28. Her track features fantastic exotica and a brave arrangement using only percussion, bass and whistles. Motown's luminaries can head to the back of the queue with
Joy & The Hit Kids
. This is soul in its finest form, with the greatest soul voice that Germany has ever produced.
Marion Maerz
was the ultimate Beat Fräulein and this track shot to number 6 on the charts.
Dominique
's track addresses the topic of youth criminality.
Anita Weibel
's track is a solid, Germanized version of
Johnny Tillotson
's "Please Don't Go Away."
Patty Pay
's track is a splendid little soap opera, penned by
Ralph Siegel
.
Caterina Valente
lands here in a feminist pose: promoting female autonomy and leaving the men no chance.
Ingela Brander
was an actress, a singer and a saxophonist.
Inga Rumpf
's
Sonny & Cher
adaptation is an example of her extra-curricular solo activities in 1967.
Conny Froboess
sings a suitably unromantic song about being jilted. The track by
Monique And The Lions
was discovered in the CCA archives. It didn't and doesn't get any more garage than this in the Schlager world. The original: "Bus Stop" by
The Hollies
.
James Last
himself composed
Dorthe
's jaunty number and
Ruth Brandin
was one of the most successful GDR vocalists of the 1960s until the Stasi wanted to enlist her. Ruth refused -- effectively ending her career.
Chris Doerk
was another hugely popular singer from the GDR, best known as one-half of the duo
Chris & Frank
, here with a laid-back organ dance number.
The Jacob Sisters
cover
The Supremes
' "Stop! In The Name Of Love" before
Simone
lets out a beat number and
Pitty Und Ihre Beatchicks
boost the merits of teenage love. Another James Last-penned track from
Renate Kern
is a real foot-stomper before
Wencke Myhre
contemplatively concludes this compilation, wallowing in a grand orchestral arrangement that is sure to melt any heart.
