A fabulous role model.
Mary Roos is the most versatile German singer of the last few decades. She shifts serenely and humorously between pop songs, chansons, bossa nova and pop. Child prodigy more than 60 years ago when she performed for the first time in public, celebrated in France, guest star on the Muppet Show, on stage with Marlon Brando and Peter Ustinov, constantly back in the charts; Mary Roos has achieved what no other German artist has.
Her career got a second wind as a cabaret artist with Wolfgang Trepper: their performances of Whores, Coke and Fresh Strawberries were sold out everywhere, and Mary’s impressive performance in the VOX show Sing My Song suddenly found young fans. But alongside the glamour, it wasn’t all roses in Mary Roos’s life: two failed marriages, pain and disappointment – but she didn’t let this get her down.
Today, Mary Roos is a strong, independent woman full of curiosity for what is to come. In this book, she recounts her colourful life with the support of her good friend Pe Werner.
