Meine Welt is the fifth music album by the American singer Peggy March to be produced in Germany . The work contains six titles each in German and English , including works by well-known composers and songwriters such as Burt Bacharach , Tony Hatch , Otis Redding , Rodgers and Hart and Jimmy Webb . The album was released in 1970 as a long-playing record on the Teldec Decca label (order number: SLK 16647-P). The six German-language tracks on the album Meine Welt were re-released on CD in 1996 .

History of origin

Since her US hit I Will Follow Him from 1963, Peggy March was also regularly featured in the local hit parades with German hits. She also recorded songs in nine different languages ​​and toured the world. She had her final breakthrough on the German-speaking music market with the title At 17 you still have dreams , which landed on first place at the German Schlager Festival in 1965 . By 1969, her first music label RCA Victor published the four German-language long-playing records Diary of a 17-year-old (1965; RCA LPM 10014), Laß mir mein Träume (1966; RCA LPM 10088), Hello Boys! (1966; RCA LSP 10141) and Hey, this is music for you (1969; RCA LSP 10257).

Towards the end of the 1960s, March's music producer Wolf Kabitzky realized that the former teenage star's earlier commercial successes could not easily be built on. From 1969 the singles of Peggy March were released on the Decca label of Teldec, where the singer was able to record another success with the single In Carnaby Street . After the release of the following single ( Vor dem Buckingham-Palast / Tschau Amore Goodbye ), the vocal recordings for the album Meine Welt , sung in German and English, took place in March 1970 in the Teldec Studios (today Teldex Studio ) in Berlin-Lichterfelde . Producer Kabitzky as well as the orchestra leaders and arrangers Henry Mayer and Peter Jacques wanted to break new ground with Peggy March. The twelve titles mainly include current and sophisticated pop songs and ballads . In purely commercial terms, the long-playing record was not very successful. Nevertheless, the LP Mein Lied for Peggy was to be created in the same year based on the model of this album .
