Her latest release for CBS Schallplatten, "Himmelblaue Rosen gibt es nicht," is a hit tune in both juke box play and disk sales. Marika is accompanied on the disk by a ris- ing German musical group, Fats and His Cats. Marika owes her singing success to the perspicacity of Bernhard Mika!ski. When Mikulski, chief of CBS Schallplat- ten, signed her to a contract, Marika had never cut a disk. Shrewdly, Mikulski started her with a country number, which was a big seller. After the ice skating star had introduced "Himmelblaue Rosen gibt es nich" ( "There Is No Such Thing as Sky Blue Roses "). Mikulski, a man who refuses to concede anything is impossible, presented Marika with a bouquet of sky -blue roses.
