She achieved success with songs such as Theater or Es war einmal ein Jäger. She was married to Christian Bruhn (), who wrote many of her songs. She represented West Germany at the Eurovision Song Contest three times: 1970, 1971, and 1980. Her best performance was in 1980 when she gained second place with the entry Theater.
