Musical career
Barbara Kist belongs to the first post-war generation of German pop singers who shaped popular music in the early 1950s. She began her career in 1951 as a duet partner of Carl Niessen and René Carol at the record company Electrola . In a short interlude with Polydor in 1952, she recorded the successful song Rote Rosen, Roteippen, Rote Wein with René Carol . 1954 followed several recordings with Camillo rims , including the jukebox success The last word . In the same year Electrola also released Barbara Kist's first solo records, including a cover version of the 1920s hit When the White Lilac Blooms Again .
She achieved her first success as a solo singer in 1957 with the cover version of the Doris Day hit Que Sera, Sera . The music magazine Automatenmarkt rated the title eighth and listed it for twelve weeks. The song experienced an even bigger career in the hit evaluation "Musicbox" of the youth magazine Bravo . There was Que sera, sera conducted from February to July 1957 for 22 weeks, reaching as the best quotation second place. After that, Barbara Kist was unable to build on her success, although she sang several solo records until 1959. In the same year her first duet record came out with the Dutch entertainer Lou van Burg , which was followed by four more singles by 1961 . With the title I would like to spoil you so much , the two reached the German hit lists in early 1960. In the hit parade of the music magazine Musikmarkt the duet reached number 24, in the top 10 of the Bravo Musicbox the song came in at number ten.
In addition to her solo and duet productions, Barbara Kist was also a member of several singing groups, such as the Hula Hawaiian Quartet , the Kolibris or the Singing Wanderers. With the Hula Hawaiian Quartet, she had a number one hit in Germany in 1955 with Jim, Jonny and Jonas .
In 1962, Barbara Kist recorded her last record, but remained in the hit industry. She began to write hit texts, for example for the German contributions to the Grand Prix Eurovision de la Chanson in 1965 and 1966. In 1965 she wrote the text for Ulla Wiesner's contribution Paradies wo bist du , and the following year she wrote the text of the song The hands of the clock with which Margot Eskens represented Germany.
