Ingrid Peters, who represented Germany in the 1986 Eurovision Song Contest in Bergen, is going to launch her new album called Mit meinen Augen (Through my eyes) on October 21st. The album will contain 18 songs, most of them in German.
Ingrid Peters is one of the better known 'Schlager' singers from Germany. Since 1976, she has had several hits. But nevertheless, her national succes didn't help her much during her Eurovision Song Contest appearance. Although she was among the favourites, she only finished 8th with her song Über die Brücke geh'n (Crossing the bridge). This song was the last one sung by her to reach the German single charts.

Sarbrigge, du bist meine Stadt is following her home town Saarbrücken. Nicole, the only German winner in the contest, is also from Saarbrücken. Sag mir wo die Blumen sind is the German version of Where have all the flowers gone, which was originally by Pete Seeger. It is one of the most famous songs in the world and among others was recorded by Bob Dylan under the title Blowing in the wind. The most popular German version was by Marlene Dietrich in 1964, Juliane Werding did a cover version in the 1980s. Vor langer Zeit in New Orleans is not supposed to be related to the hurricane catastrophies in the United States.
