Stirling & Tellinger - Songs from 1983 to 2002 (Best Of Album) 80's new romantic south african pop

STIRLING AND TELLINGER

In 1983, Stirling & Tellinger released their debut single, 'Call Me', and became one of South Africa's favourite 80's pop duos. The song became an instant radio hit and the audiences flocked to see this fresh new South African act. Their tight harmonies and simple approach to performance made them a favourite with live audiences. The video of 'Call Me' set new trends and standards in SA music video circles and was voted the 2nd Most Popular Music video at Midem in Cannes in 1984.

Stirling & Tellinger became a permanent feature on the live music circuit and in 1984 they released their second single, 'What's A Nice Girl Like You, Doing In A Place Like This', which also did very well and established S&T as a quality act to take seriously. After three years of live appearances, and a national tour, they left for the USA to record an album. This caused an unexpected break in the momentum and the album was only released about two years later as part of a TV series called 'The Star Shooters'.

After 20 years and very active individual careers, 'The Best of Stirling & Tellinger' was released on CD to bring back some good memories to those who frequented the live music venues of SA in the early 80's.

The “Call Me” video (see video here) was voted among the top two most popular videos at MIDEM in Cannes 1983.

Kimera and the Operaiders - The Lost Opera (1985) Hi-Nrg 80's disco pop crap kitsch diva!

Kimera (born January 10, 1954) is South Korean-born popera singer.

Her music style was that of pop opera (similar to pop symphony yet with more techno beat). She created the style of "popera", consisting of a medley of opera arias set to a mid-80's form of disco and High N-R-G beats. Her music career stage was in Europe, mostly in France and Spain, but she also enjoyed tremendous success with her debut single "The Lost Opera" (reaching number 1 on the South African Springbok Charts in June 1985 and charting for 19 weeks) and first two albums in South Africa.

"ok.... it IS totally kitsch, yet Kimera was THE number #1 best seller in South Africa in 1985 with her cheesy, over the top mega hit "THE LOST OPERA". This Korean invaded South Africa's airwaves and homes like cheap "made in Korea" washing machines! Housewives thought of her music as "high art"... and a bit of "a cross cultural experience". ha ha ha!! :) Welcome to the 80's!

The music video for KIMERA's "LOST OPERA" is totally ridiculous and well worth checking out - such class! "" [RETRO DISCO Hi-NRG]

I was afraid to go under, Afraid to see when I closed my eyes Vicious games, vicious games With different names, different namesVicious games, vicious gamesWith different names, different names

I never knew how much I loved you, I never knew how much I cared, I just played Vicious games, vicious games, with different names, different names. Vicious games, vicious games, with different names, different names

Now that you're gone, and you have left me, I had to learn, I had to learn how much it hurts, To play those vicious games"
