C.C. Catch ~ Heaven and Hell

Caroline Catherine Müller (born 31 July 1964), known professionally as C. C. Catch, is a Dutch and German singer. She is known for her collaboration with Dieter Bohlen (one half of Modern Talking) in the 1980s. While performing in Hamburg as part of Optimal, Müller was discovered by Dieter Bohlen.He signed her to BMG, effectively launching her solo career. Bohlen also gave her the stage name C. C. Catch, with the two "C"s standing for the initials of her first and middle names, and "Catch", which she thought was a good idea and looked good alongside the initials. In the summer of 1985, C.C. Catch released her debut single, "I Can Lose My Heart Tonight". The single entered the top 20 in several European countries, including Germany and Switzerland. Bohlen and Catch worked together until 1989, during which time they released twelve singles and four albums. Eight of those singles entered the top 20 while one of the albums entered the top 10. Catch wanted to have more creative input into her songs, but Bohlen refused. As a result, in 1989, she parted ways with him and BMG. However, she had to pursue legal action to secure the rights to her stage name. On a New Year&Eve television show in Spain, Catch met Simon Napier-Bell (former manager of Wham!&George Michael). Shortly afterwards, Napier-Bell became her manager and signed her to PolyGram subsidiary Metronome. Her first (and only) album on the label, Hear What I Say, was released at the end of 1989 and remains Catch&last album...
