BACCARA - Biography 1977-1982
With hit singles such as "Yes Sir, I Can Boogie", "Sorry,
I'm A Lady", "Darling", "The Devil Sent You To Lorado" and
more than 25 million records sold, BACCARA were one of the
world's most popular duo in the late 70's. The original
line-up consisted of two beautiful Spanish ladies, Mayte
Mateos who was born on February 7th, 1951 in Logrono (La
Rioja/Spain) and María Mendiola who was born on April 4th,
1952 in Madrid.
In 1972, Mayte, who graduated as a teacher from the "Royal
Spanish Academy for Arts, Drama and Dance", was selected
to join the Alberto Portillo Ballet of TVE, Spain's national
television. This is where she first met María. Both girls
left the ballet in 1976 and formed a duo named Venus. Their
first television appearance as a duo was in the Spanish
show "Palmarés".
Their dancing act was slightly inspired by the Kessler Sisters
from Germany. Venus signed a deal with a theatre located
in Zaragoza, Spain. The owner reckoned their performances
were way too elegant for his theatre and their contract
ended after one week. María had contacts in the Canary Islands
and both girls were engaged to perform at the "Tres Islas"
hotel on the Spanish island of Fuerteventura. Very soon,
their energetic and lively show had become the absolute
highlight of the evening. "But we also performed classic
flamenco pieces", lead singer Mayte remembers, "since 90%
of the guests were from Germany and they loved flamenco
music."
And so did Leon Deane (record manager at RCA Germany), Patrick
Krevitz (DJ) and Fred Dieckmann (who later became BACCARA's
manager) who were on holiday in the same hotel. They were
so fascinated by the show they saw on January 17th, 1977
at 11pm that they spontaneously invited Mayte and Maria
to come to Germany.
Mayte & María arrived in Hamburg in the middle of March
1977 for the first recording sessions with German composer
and producer Rolf Soja. The bosses at RCA Hamburg were so
impressed by their talent and their voices that only six
days later their first single, "Yes Sir, I Can Boogie",
was recorded. "It took us quite some time to find the right
name. We had no idea how things would turn out. For all
of us, it was a gamble, like Baccara! It's only later on
that we made the connection with the most beautiful and
most expensive rose".
"Yes Sir, I Can Boogie" was released as a single in May
1977. It was written by composer & producer Rolf Soja &
lyricist Frank Dostal. In June 1977, it took the German
Top 50 by storm, topping the chart for eight weeks. 25.000
copies of the single were sold daily in Germany. The peak
was 48.000 copies sold in one day! On June 2nd, 1977, BACCARA
made their TV debut on ZDF's show "Starparade" hosted by
Rainer Holbe. "Yes Sir, I Can Boogie" reached the #1 spot
in 18 countries and sold more than 16 million copies worldwide.
It was the first single performed by a female duo to reach
number one in the UK single chart as well as the first one
by a Spanish act.
BACCARA got registered in the "Guinness Book of Records"
as the female musical duo that had sold the most records
to that date. The follow-up single, "Sorry, I'm A Lady"
was released in August 1977. It started to chart in September
1977, was #1 for 7 weeks in Germany and soon became a worldwide
hit reaching the #1 spot in the Netherlands, Belgium, Austria
and Norway, #2 in Switzerland and #3 in Sweden. On September
30th, 1977, Mayte & María received the "Goldener Löwe Award"
(Golden Lion Award) of RTL Germany for "Yes Sir, I Can Boogie".
In October 1977, the self-titled debut BACCARA album was
released.
The record was arranged and produced by Rolf Soja, like
all the other BACCARA records until 1981. The sales of the
first album were massive and exceeded all expectations at
RCA. It went to #1 in all Scandinavian countries (remaining
at the top of the album chart for 12 weeks in Norway and
8 weeks in Sweden. In Finland this album still is the fifth
all-time best selling International album!) and #13 in Germany.
In November 1977, BACCARA represented Germany at the 8th
edition of the "Yamaha World Popular Song Festival in Tokyo"
with the song "Mad In Madrid". Despite being tipped as favourites
by the media, their song finished in fourteenth place. By
the end of 1977, BACCARA's success was spreading worldwide.
They already had reached the number one spot in almost all
European countries and were extremely popular in Germany,
Austria, Switzerland, Scandinavia, the UK and Eastern Europe.
BACCARA were also enjoying chart hits in Australia, New
Zealand, Japan, Israel and South Africa. The public was
charmed by Mayte & María, two elegant and glamorous women
who complemented each other with their respective vocal
styles, as well as with their wardrobe: Mayte would always
be dressed in black and María in white. All European TV
channels wanted to have BACCARA on their programmes and
Mayte & María were regular guests in top shows like "Musikladen"
(NDR), "Die Aktuelle Schaubude" (NDR), "Disco" (ZDF), "Starparade"
(ZDF), "Ein Kessel Buntes" (DDR-FS), "Top Of The Pops" (BBC),
"The Sacha Distel Show" (BBC) "TopPop" (AVRO) and "300 millones"
(TVE). In January 1978, "Darling" was released as a single:
it went to #1 in Norway, #5 in Sweden, #6 in Germany, #7
in Austria and #9 in Switzerland.
On February 24th 1978, BACCARA received a Golden Bambi Award
from the Burda publishing group. With the annual Bambi Awards,
the Burda media group honours celebrities from the world
of entertainment, literature, sports and politics who have
achieved major success. On April 22nd, 1978, BACCARA represented
Luxembourg at the "Eurovision Song Contest" held in Paris
with the song "Parlez-vous français?".
Even though the Italian, Spanish and Portuguese juries gave
the maximum number of points to Luxembourg, the song ended
up seventh place with a total of 73 points. However, it
didn't stop the record from becoming a European hit. It
charted at #7 in Belgium, #8 in Sweden, #18 in Austria and
#21 in Germany. It was one of the best-selling singles of
the 1978 contest. "Parlez-vous français?" remains to this
day one of the most requested Eurovision songs. BACCARA's
second album, "Light My Fire" was released in July 1978.
It did well all over Europe and charted in Scandinavia.
In November 1978, "The Devil Sent You To Lorado" was released
as a single. It started to climb the German charts in December
1978 where it peaked at #4. This single also reached the
#4 position in Austria and #5 in Switzerland. At the same
time, the compilation "The Hits Of Baccara" was released.
It went to #30 in the German charts and sold well all over
Europe. "El diablo te mandó a Laredo", a Spanish version
of the "The Devil Sent You To Lorado", was recorded especially
for the Spanish territories and soon became one of BACCARA's
biggest hits in Spain.
The single "Body Talk" was released in May 1979. It charted
at #26 in Germany. In 1979, RCA Japan released "By 1999"
as a single. That song was originally the b-side of "Body
Talk". "Ay, Ay Sailor" was released in October 1979 and
reached the #39 spot in Germany. In November 1979, the third
BACCARA album, "Colours", was released. At the same time,
BACCARA recorded "Eins plus eins ist eins", a German version
of their song "One, Two, Three, That's Life", for the "International
Year of the Child" as proclaimed by the United Nations and
to commemorate the 20th Anniversary of the Declaration of
the Rights of the Child.
In 1980, RCA Spain released a BACCARA single with two tracks
performed in Spanish, "Baila tú" ("Body Talk") and "En el
ano 2000" ("By 1999"). Mayte & María wrote the lyrics to
both songs. Later that year, BACCARA split up after a controversy
that erupted with the release of the single "Sleepy Time
Toy". In 1981, BACCARA reunited for a while for the recording
of their fourth album, "Bad Boys", which was produced in
London by Graham Sacher. In 1982, Mayte and María decided
to go separate ways and went on to start solo careers.
