 Sandra has thousands of music video's on YouTube/Bing and other sources...Sandra was coined..."The Queen of YouTube"many times over by her fans and thousands of music professionals.I am not sure of the total number,but if you add in all of her music video's and live performances that actually date back to 1976 with the tune..."Andy Mein Freund"that she sang in German:www.youtube.com it is an unfathomable number of music video's!By the way,she was ONLY 14 years old in that Disco sounding tune about a beloved dog of hers.That WAS her very first single after she was discovered by a recording artist in Saarbrücken,Germany at the Young Star Festival in 1975.Only one year later at age 14,she had her very first recording contract by 1976!But it was not until a few years later and by 1985,that her fame and popularity exploded to Supernova levels.Out of all the thousands of music video's of Sandra,it is actually hard for me to give you the ones that were my absolute favorites,but below,I will list a few that to me represent her best.Most of my favorites are her "studio versions",not as much her live versions due to sound studio quality over live versions.Live versions of her do offer the excitement of the crowds and their claps and screams,but many of those fans in those live music video's of hers were that ecstatic DUE TO first listening to her earlier recorded studio versions! Again,I will add just a few more in time.But here are just a few of the favorites of her Pop classics that I deem worthy of topping my list below.They are NOT in any order of specific yeras or which ones place higher on the music charts than others.Have a great journey! |

Some were made by the professionals,others by the fans. Here is one remix of hers,produced in 2006,yet her original was in 1986!!!! Take a peek at this gem: www.youtube.com Innocent Love modified from her original. Produced for nightclub dancing. |

Above....I mentioned about Arabesque and Asia!Sandra started with that band when she was only 17 years old!Those females with perfect harmony were especially famed and popular in Japan and the Soviet Union as Russia was called back in those days.Sandra stayed with that Disco band a few years,but after Disco music started to disappear in popularity,starting in and around 1980-1981(if not earlier),then Sandra left Arabesque to pursue her Pop career and the music SHE KNEW would bring her fame!By 1985 a new Queen has arisen from the ashes of her prior Disco career. But it is always a pleasure to bring back those memories of her in the very early stages of her world fame!Welcome to the sounds of Arabesque!: www.youtube.com 1980 High Life www.youtube.com 1980 Make Love Whenever You Can |

That is absolutely true and their are many official reports to confirm that!But see,fame is many times relative to "tours"!Arabesque was a bunch of 17/18 year olds who were not going to travel the world yet.They remained in Europe and went as far as Japan,but not much further.So,in the USA,ABBA became more famed than Arabesque due to ABBA touring the USA 14 times,before returning to Europe.So,keep in mind that if and I say IF ABBA never had toured the good old USA,then most Disco fans in the USA would have tossed them aside or never heard of ABBA! Did you ever wonder if and I say IF the Beatles had never came to America starting in 1964? Do you honestly think that the USA fans would have taken them nearly as seriously as they became?The answer is:NO!So,some food for thought when you chat about the famed Beatles and others!Arabesque never toured the USA until much later and after Sandra had left them. And by that time,Disco music in the USA had mainly faded in popularity. But to the music pro's...brilliancy in Disco or Pop music has NO geographic boundaries!!! While the Kings of Disco back in the 1970's was without question... "The Bee Gees",.... Arabesque was a refreshing change from the constant bombardment of the Bee Gee's tunes being played over and over again in the nightclubs of Europe and the USA!Many had called Arabesque the "Euro Queens of Disco"!!Indeed,Euro Disco was definitely different than American Disco!!And that,my friends is what makes the classics interesting! |

Sandra's fame and popularity was so massive already and in so much demand throughout most of continental Europe...that she had no big need or desire to tour the USA like ABBA did to augment ABBA's fame!Sandra was as BIG as you can fathom,especially between 1985-1992 and she was many times rated #1 in the majority of the world!!!!!That IS a fact! |

For my quick listen...while I beat you on the chessboard... www.youtube.com 1989 Around My Heart Have you discovered yet...why countless millions around the world have become her cult fan worshipers?Indeed,she has one of the largest fan following of any classic Pop star in the world.When you can answer that....then and only then,will you become a true connoisseur or purist of the Pop classics. |
