Marianne Rosenberg turns 70: “Forever Young” on his 70th birthday

Already at the tender age of 15, the Berlin singer Marianne Rosenberg landed her first big hit hit with “Mr. Paul McCartney”, which in the 1970s should follow “He belongs to me”, “Marleen” and “Songs of the Night”. At the beginning of the 1980s, she confidently got out of the hit circus and still made her own thing with danceable disco sounds. In an interview with the news agency Spot On News, she explains why this exit was so important to her and reveals which music will run for her 70th birthday at her party.

Marianne Rosenberg: Somehow incredible – we all thought at 30 that we are now old and that life will be over in a few years.

Rosenberg: Maybe Alphaville “Forever Young” or too cher that will be 80 next year.

Rosenberg: Not a bit wistful, why too? However, the many 5s have done it to me. I was born in 1955, I am on stage for 55 years and one of my biggest hits is 50. By the way, 55 was a good year and every year and decade has its special charm and miracle, even with the 7 ahead.

Rosenberg: Very, very important for me as a person and as a musician was that after the 70s I stopped the carousel and got out, learned to work, compose and text independently as a woman. Friends from the Berlin subculture and later friends like Rio Reiser helped me a lot. In this respect, I am proud that I took this step and exchanged the throne of the hit princess for a self -determined life and work. For me, it is meaningless for me. We all make mistakes and I still make them today. But I always learn from it. For me, this becomes a positive energy from an apparently negative experience.

Rosenberg: The kick-off “Sing my Schlager” gave the impetus last year, where the colleagues interpreted my songs. That was absolutely overwhelming and touching for me. During the show, the idea matured in me to invite some of the colleagues into the studio. And what reason would be more suitable than my current anniversaries?

Rosenberg: We all know love and know that she can bring happiness and pain. In addition, love for me is not only a feeling between two people, but also something bigger: love for people, regardless of gender, what sexual orientation, origin or religion. Hate has never defeated hatred, let it be love!

Rosenberg: I ​​take the energy out of music or passion to make music. And I wanted the club tour in November because I want to feel people in my concerts. This is only very limited in large halls, but in clubs the spark can and will skip in both directions. I’m really looking forward to that.

Rosenberg: A relaxing day with my family and my best friends … What now, where I say this, will bring me the idea of ​​celebrating your birthday once a month.
