Baccara

Baccara was a female vocal duo formed in 1977 by Spanish artists Mayte Mateos Logrono and María Mendiola.

Because I love singers with accents and music that sounds exotic, I love Baccara. Yes it is kind of over the top but hey that makes it even more appealing. Check out their 2 biggest hits, Yes sir, I can boogie and Sorry I'm a lady. They have other hits that are good but these 2 are the most infectious.

Baccara sold more than 16 million copies of “Yes Sir, I Can Boogie” and featured in the 1977 edition of the Guinness Book of Records as the highest-selling female musical duo to date. They were the first female duo to reach number one in the UK, and had the only number one by a Spanish artist in the UK until Julio Iglesias, four years later. A follow-up single, “Sorry, I'm A Lady”, was also an international hit, peaking at the top of the charts in Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium and reaching the top ten in the UK, Sweden and Switzerland. Most of Baccara's recordings were sung in English although they did also record in Spanish, German and French.
