Who Are Those Singers & Musicians? ~ Mary Roos

 

Mary Roos was born (Marianne Rosemarie Schwab) on January 9, 1949, in Bingen, Germany. She is the elder sister of Schlager singer Tina York (Monika Schwab) Growing up in a family that embraced the arts, her passion for music blossomed from a young age. By the time she was nine, she recorded her first song "Ja die Dicken sind ja so gemütlich," marking the beginning of her enduring love affair with music. This early exposure to performing--combined with her childhood appearances in singing competitions--laid a strong foundation for her eventual career. The multicultural atmosphere of her upbringing fostered a deep appreciation for diverse musical styles, all of which contributed to her connection with vinyl records as she grew older. The warmth and nostalgia of vinyl would later play a significant role in her music collection, reflecting her journey through life and artistry. Mary has carved out a remarkable career, peppering the charts with hits like "Das Hat die Welt Noch Nicht Erlebt," "Blauer Montag," and the iconic "Arizona Man," in collaboration with the brilliant Giorgio Moroder. A proud representative of Germany in the Eurovision Song Contest, she made her mark in both 1972 and 1984. Her impact on the music industry extends beyond her chart-topping singles, uniquely connected with vinyl culture through her extensive collection of beloved albums.
