He came to Germany through his participation in the feature film Seventeen Years, Blond Hair in 1966 with Udo Juergens . It was here that he recorded his first record in German in 1967: I break all chains and immediately hit the charts. Giorgio Moroder and Michael Holm , who had their breakthrough two years later, created music and text. Ricky Shayne's appearance also became a teenage favorite.

In 1969, more Shaynes titles placed themselves in the middle of the charts, The world has not seen this yet , A beggar becomes a king and I do not pay compliments . In 1971, Shayne's greatest success came. He recorded the title Mamy Blue of Pop Tops in German and English. With both versions he could storm several hit parades and came z. B. in the ZDF hit parade at number 1 (see list of ZDF hit parade episodes in 1971 ). In the same year he embodied in the comedy Hurray, we're bachelors again! the hippie Ricci Sporetti .

The following recordings were then only respectable successes and Ricky Shayne was not seen on the stage for years. However, he played in 1975 in the episode Calcutta of the television crime series Derrick . Then he emigrated to the USA to start a new career. Later he was occasionally seen and heard in various oldie shows on German television.

In 1989 he made a small comeback when he recorded the song Once I'm Gonna Stay Forever with Dieter Bohlen for the ZDF series Rivals of the Racetrack . The song was released both as a single and on the series' soundtrack album. The soundtrack became the most successful album on a German television series. In addition to the single, Ricky Shayne recorded an alternative version of the title Samuraj , which was originally written by Nino de Angelo .

In 1984 Shayne and his wife sold self-designed fashion in a shop in Düsseldorf. Shayne meanwhile ran a drinks kiosk in the Düsseldorf district of Flingern , which he gave up after a year and a half. Shayne has been painting and drawing as a hobby for several years and in 2010 had an exhibition with graphics in Düsseldorf under the title Ricky Shayne. The Outsider . He has been married since the 1980s and has two children with his wife.

On 12 February 2019, the documentation celebrated Shayne by Stephan Geene as a six-part mini-series premiered in the series forum expanded during the Berlinale 2019. Shayne Shayne sons Tarek Tabet Tabet and Imran Shayne embody it in scenes her father. "The encounter with the nervous, edgy Ricky Shayne, now 72, survivor of his own star and BRAVO story (the BRAVO dedicated two star cuts to him alone ) brings about Geene in very different ways: including Shayne's sons Tarek and Imran, both as old as Ricky in his time in Berlin and as if cut out of his face (at that time). ”(catalog text) Additional music comes from Justus Köhncke , while Volker Sattel directed the camera. The starting point for the director was the enormous effect that Shayne had on him as a ten-year-old at the time: “Ricky Shayne gave me something that the adventure playground didn't have to offer. It's hard to say what it was, that's why this film was made. As a child, Shayne was once an imperative to identify with - an insight into adult life. The male and female mingled so strangely in Shayne. And especially Mamy Blue talked about abandonment, because I could empathize. Really empathize, because of course you couldn't see through the product character of the hit as a child. "
