Help finding German singer: Marie Luise/Marie Louise

Marie-Luise is a German prename, has bee quite common some time ago.

Especially in southern Germany andI suppose, quite a few singers there have that prename.

(And "yes": we pronounce Luise very similar to the French "Louise".)

After some research, I must admit, I even couldn't a cd with those titles (they seem to be cover versions - perhaps various from German rock albums).

Sorry - but nevertheless welcome to A2K!

Tina Louise???

Tina Louise as "Ginger Grant" on Gilligan's Island.Tina Louise (born February 11, 1934) is an American model, singer, and film and television actress, best known for her portrayal of Ginger Grant on television's Gilligan's Island.

She was born Tina Blacker, an only child, to a Jewish family in New York City, and attended Miami University. She started her career as a model and nightclub singer while she studied at the Actors Studio.

In 1957, she and Julie Newmar made their Broadway debuts in Li'l Abner. Her album It's Time for Tina was also released that year, with songs such as "Embraceable You" and "I'm in the Mood for Love".

She made her Hollywood film debut in 1958 in God's Little Acre. She became an in-demand leading lady for major stars like Robert Taylor and Robert Ryan often playing somber roles quite unlike the glamorous pinup photographs she had become famous for in the late 1950's. Further roles followed, on Broadway and in films in Italy and Hollywood, but they failed to accelerate her career.

In 1964 she was cast as "movie star" Ginger Grant on the television series Gilligan's Island. Louise finally achieved a level of fame and recognition; however, she was unhappy with the role and worried that it would typecast her. The role did make her a pop icon of the era and in 2005 an episode of TV Land Top Ten ranked her #2 as television's all-time sex symbol, second only to Heather Locklear. She also appeared in SST: Death Flight.

After the series ended in 1967, she continued to work in films and made numerous guest appearances in various television series. She appeared as a doomed suburban housewife in the original The Stepford Wives (1975), and both the film and her performance were well received.

Despite this success, she has declined to participate in any of the reunion television movies and specials for Gilligan's Island, but did appear on a TV Land award show with the other surviving cast members. In the 1990s she was reunited with costars Bob Denver, Dawn Wells, and Russell Johnson in cameo appearances on an episode of Roseanne. Her relations with series star Denver were rumored to be strained but in 2005 she wrote a brief affectionate memorial to him in the year-end farewell issue of Entertainment Weekly.

Louise appeared as a semi-regular character in the prime-time soap opera Dallas and made an appearance on Married... with Children. In 1985, Tina played the second and final Taylor Chapin on the syndicated soap opera, Rituals

May I doubt that she appeared as a singer of German songs in 2004 in a beergarden in southern Germany? :wink:

Marie Luise
I dont' know...I kind of don't think they're covers - unless they're all from the same artist? And can you sell an album if it's a cover for another band? Copyright laws? In case this helps at all, (although it probably wont...) here are some lyrics for Halb so schlimm

....es ist fuenf Uhr,
muss aufstehen, und frage mich wie (?sounds like scharf?) ich dafur,
ein neue Morgens, Arbeit gehen,
bin so muede, kann kaum auf meinen beiden Beine stehen
ich (?) 'ne kalte Dusch, eine Tasse Kaffee
bevor ich ueberhaubt andenk, aus dem Haus zu gehen

does that help anyone??

Not me. Sorry.
