In the eighties it became more quiet around Caterina Valente, but she still wins a lot of prices and makes some appearances here and there. There she makes appearances with Dean Martin, Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye and at the Perry-Como-Show. And – as one of few German singers – she is a star in the USA. She sings in 12 languages, speaks 6 of them fluently. For a long time she already had international success. Also for Caterina Vatente – but only in Germany. But in the middle of the 60 years the new pop music – the Beatles – would become popular: and also the end for a lot of the pop stars. Her and Peter Alexander became the new dream couple in the music business. Soon she had an own TV-Show, ‘Bonsior, Kathrin’. Her success kept on for a very long time.
She recorded more than 1500 song and appeared in more than 1000 shows and films. Caterina Valente was the greatest star in the entertainment industry in Germany after the Second World War.
