CC Catch: Successful cooperation with time turned into a hell from which she managed to escape.

Updated On: 18th January 2018

In the 1980s, CC Catch, a German singer of Dutch origin, was referred to as the disco queen. With her hits: “I Can Lose My Heart Tonight” or “Strangers by Night” were playing in every European club. However, the good streak did not last long .

If it was not for her father Caroline Müller , perhaps her adventure with the song would never have started. – Of the four children, I was the only daughter. Dad met all my desires. When, at the age of 13, I wanted to sing, he bought me good equipment, a microphone and … he became my manager – confessed the artist. The man did not lose hope that her talent would be discovered. That’s how it happened when Dieter Bohlen appeared at one of the Optimal concerts, the female quartet she played in. A week later, the girl left the band and started recording with the Modern Talking leader. – That’s how CC Catch was born – mentioned the singer’s father. With the popularity of her debut album, the heart of the star began to beat harder to Frank Otto, a young drummer who collaborated with Bohlen.

Everything went well until the beloved began to persuade her to greater artistic independence. When she listened to him, Dieter did not hide his anger. Soon their conflict came to the press. – She had no voice at all. Carolina did not have owe him any cash: “He treatened the work on the record like a tape in a factory. ” In a rematch, Bohlen banned Caroline from using the CC Catch nickname he invented. The court quashed the decision, but the demand for the singer dropped anyway. A trip to Great Britain together with a partner had helped her re-enter the industry. However, it did not happen. What’s more, her relationship with Frank broke up. Soon, she met an American, a yoga teacher, but she did not start a family with him. – I do not have time for children, I am constantly working – said the artist in 2005. Perhaps this caused the marriage to break up. After the divorce, the star received a house in Spanish Marbella from her former husband, where she lives alone until today. He is not bored because he still performs. Our country is the most fond of our country. – I love the Polish audience. Nobody knows my songs so well, “said the star.
