Everyone loves music. Everyone has their own favorite song, more often than not one. Someone prefers to listen to the classics, others like rock. And for some, creating or performing musical compositions is a job.
legendary time
There was a time when the musical performers of every country could be counted on the fingers of one hand. They were known, performed in almost the same genre. They were listened to, knowing all the songs by heart. It was something new. But at that time there was no choice.
Probably, it is precisely because of the excessive number of performers in our time that many of them are not known at all. Huge competition does not allow everyone to become famous in the world of music. In addition, not all perform in well-known genres. Some areas of modern music are simply not intended for the general public, because not everyone understands.
Between these two musical eras, there is a "golden mean".
The golden time of musical performers fell on the 80-90s. The musicians of those years are still loved by listeners, and their songs continue to be heard on the radio and at home.
Here are the most popular foreign singers of that time (list):
- Desireless;
- Melanie Thornton (La Bouche);
- Amanda Lear;
- Gloria Gaynor;
- C.C. Catch;
- Sandra;
- Tina Turner;
- Bonnie Tyler;
- Donna Summer;
- Sabrina Salerno;
- Suzy Quatro;
- Mireille Mathieu;
- Courtney Love;
- Samantha Fox.
At that time there was a certain direction of music. Fashion dictated to everyone its inimitable style of the 80s. Foreign singers of those years were on everyone's lips. Performers were loved, imitated. And their songs sounded on the dance floors of many countries of the world.
A little about the life of famous performers
Like all people, music stars also suffer from unhappy love, experience mistakes, and rejoice in achievements. But like all creative natures, these emotions translate into wonderful creations. This is how the best musical compositions were presented to the world.
Many foreign singers also starred in films. Whitney Houston not only had a unique voice, but also showed her acting prowess in the great love story The Bodyguard.
In addition to her acting career, Barbara Streisand is also engaged in musical creativity. And her composition Woman in love, released in 1980, was awarded the Grammy Award.
Singer Sandra began her musical career in the band Arabesque. After the collapse of the team, she began to perform solo. World fame came in 1985 after the release of the songs Maria Magdalena, Stop for a minute and Hi! Hi! Hi! At that time, her producer (like many other stars) was Michel Cretu. He wrote compositions for her, played keyboards. It is his voice that music lovers can hear on the backing vocals of Sandra's famous songs. He also became the husband of the singer and the father of her two sons. Creating a new project "Enigma", Michel invited his wife to it. Male vocals performed by myself. It is their voices that sound in the compositions of the world-famous "Enigma". Unfortunately, the couple broke up, then talented people began to build careers separately. At the moment, Sandra only occasionally performs with her old compositions.
By the end of the 80s and the beginning of the 90s, the musical style began to change. Previously popular disco and rock were gradually replaced by new directions with notes of electro. A new generation of performers has also grown up. And it's time for their popularity. In those years, everywhere sounded:
- Marie Fredriksson (Roxette);
- spice girls;
- Toni Braxton;
- Celine Dion;
- Bjork;
- Anita Dot (2 Unlimited);
- Mariah Carey;
- Christina Aguilera;
- Jennifer Lopez;
- Mylene Farmer.
There were also foreign singers who started their career in the late 80s, but their peak of popularity came in the 90s:
- Madonna;
- Whitney Houston;
- Kylie Minogue;
- Vanessa Paradis.
Greatest Hits
Many foreign singers were in duets or musical groups, but at the same time they were the main vocalists, whose voices are so recognizable by millions of listeners around the world.
Among the most famous hits of that time:
- Voyage-voyage of the famous French singer Desireless;
- Sweet dreams by La Bouche;
- I will survive, Gloria Gaynor;
- I can lose my heart tonight, C.C. Catch;
- Touch me, Samantha Fox;
- (I never be) Maria Magdalena, Sandra;
- Frozen, Madonna;
- Lambada, Kaoma;
- I will always love you, Whitney Houston;
- Unbreak my heart, Toni Braxton;
- My heart will go on, Celine Dion;
- Holding out for a hero, Bonnie Tyler.
Life after world popularity
Photos of foreign singers of that time are easy to distinguish from others due to the recognizable style of the 80-90s. This is bright cosmetics, tight clothing (often made of leather) and a hairstyle of lush curls. Many years have passed, times have changed, but the legendary stars are not forgotten. Many of them are still pursuing a musical career, giving concerts, releasing new compositions.
C. C. Catch, in whose success Dieter Bohlen believed in his time, continues to perform at concerts with the usual program. Which once again proves the love and inextinguishable demand for compositions of the 80s.
Celine Dion also actively continues her creative career. The Canadian singer gave us a gentle soundtrack to the world-famous film "Titanic", which received more than a hundred awards in the field of cinema. The singer herself was the winner of Eurovision in the late 80s. But the girl was the fourteenth child in the family! But this did not prevent her from gaining world fame. And all because the people who helped her develop her musical career believed in the girl’s talent.
Continues to release new compositions and Sabrina Solerno. Despite the disintegration of Baccara, former vocalists Maria and Mate were able to find other partners and perform, creating new duets. The most successful British female band Bananarama also partly continues its work. Boni Tyler not only visits many countries with concerts, but also recently took part in Eurovision.
Unfortunately, the world has lost some famous performers. Such as Whitney Houston, Donna Summer, Laura Branigan. But creative people will never be forgotten thanks to their creations. The departed singers continue to live for us in their songs.
The 80s became the era of the "New Wave" - when various genres of rock music appeared. Today, rock is still popular all over the world. Both adults and teenagers listen to it. Hits that appeared almost 40 years ago are still loved and occupy an important place in the soul of almost every person. Rock will never die.
