Manuela (singer)

Doris Inge Wegener (German pronunciation: [ˈdoːʁɪs ˈɪŋə ˈʋeːɡənɐ]; 18 August 1943 – 13 February 2001), better known by her stage name Manuela [manuˈeːla], was a German singer.

She worked in Germany as a singer of Schlager songs.

[1] She played in some German films like Im singenden Rößl am Königssee (1963), Twenty Girls and the Teachers (1971) and Schuld war nur der Bossa Nova (1992).

Paul Seigel reported in the 25 September 1971 issue of Record World that 2,000,000 German marks had been paid for Manuela, a Telefunken-Decca artist to come to the BASF record label.

Record company executives were apparently worried about holding on to their artists.
