Her manager approached the Hamburg-based Telefunken label with a song he thought would be a hit. Bosses there liked it and signed the young singer immediately.

Their faith paid off. For the recording, the singer also adopted a foreign accent — no, not Spanish in keeping with her stage name, but Anglophone.

In , she attempted a move away from the saccharine-sweet material that had made her name. However, her next step, an ambitious but unlikely duet with beat singer Drafi Deutscher, Die goldene Zeit , confused record buyers and gave Manuela her lowest chart placing to date, missing the top 30 altogether.

Her rendition of ' Kansas City ' is pitiful and her dialogue with the night-club audience is pathetic.
