Writers: Bernd Meinunger, Peter Schirmann, Peter Wagner

Marianne Rosenberg was the most successful German-speaking singer of the 1970s. Born in Berlin, she was discovered at the age of 15 and immediately landed a hit with her first single "Mr. Paul McCartney". Between 1971 and 1980 alone, Marianne released 17 albums. From 1984 to 1986, she appeared in several films, for many of which she also composed the soundtracks. After two more albums, her first English-language album "Set the night on fire" is released in 1993. In 1997, she is the first German musician to present a song exclusively and free of charge on the Internet.

In the early '00s, Marianne makes her debut as a TV presenter and continues to release several albums. In 2001, Marianne begins starring in musicals. Thisl sidestep into a new genre encourages her to first appear on a Berlin revue stage with her own production and develop "La Vie En Rose", which was celebrated by fans and critics at many successful concerts in various German cities. At the same time, she worked with artists such as Xavier Naidoo, Nena and Fettes Brot. Many of her newly produced tracks remained in the charts for weeks. On top, she scored a nomination for Germany's biggest music award, the Echo, in the category "Best National Female Singer - Rock/Pop" and had her most successful German tour to date, which was sold out in almost all major cities.

Marianne wrote all the lyrics and composed all the songs with her partners. During song production, she was able to enter into a perfect and almost symbiotic working relationship with musicians and producers. She has taken up elements from disco music and the Philly sound of the seventies, with current grooves and sounds that she likes today. Her new music continues to top airplay charts, including No.1 chart rankings, registering several million streams and clicks. Likewise, her music videos garner millions of views.
