The album features her popular collaborations with legends like Peter Alexander ("Zwei Herzen im Mai") and Bill Ramsey ("Nichts gegen die Weiber"). Key Tracks:
The title track "Papa tanzt Mambo" (a German cover of Perry Como's "Papa Loves Mambo") reached #5 on the German charts in 1955. Other top-ten hits include "Bella Bimba" (#2 in 1954) and "Die Gypsy-Band" , which hit #1.
CD 1: "Bella Bimba," "Gilli-Gilli Oxenpfeffer," "Ich möcht' auf deiner Hochzeit tanzen".
Born Gun Birgit Johnsson in 1929, Bibi Johns was a multi-talented entertainer—a singer, actress, and painter. After early success in Sweden and a brief recording stint with RCA Victor in the U.S., she moved to Germany in 1953. Her breezy, optimistic style perfectly captured the post-war German spirit, leading to a decade of chart dominance.
