[edit] Life and work
Nicole represented Germany at Eurovision Song Contest 1982 where she won with the song, "Ein bißchen Frieden" ("A Little Peace"), with music by Ralph Siegel and lyrics by Bernd Meinunger. When she reprised the song after the end of the contest voting, she performed parts of the song in English, French and Dutch along with the original German.
The full English version of the song "A Little Peace" went on to be the 500th number one single in the UK Singles Chart [1]. Full versions in French ("La Paix sur Terre"), Dutch ("Een beetje vrede"), Spanish ("Un poco de paz"), Danish ("En smule fred") and Polish ("Troszeczkę ziemi, troszeczkę słońca") have also been recorded.
