Spanish Flamenco artists, Mayte Mateus and Maria Mediolo were already performing together in 1977 for tourists when they were snapped up by RCA exec Leon Deane. Now named Baccara, the duo were partnered with Rolf Soja, who penned their debut, "Yes Sir I Can Boogie". Released in the middle of 1977, the song rocketed up the U.K. charts, scoring the band a #1 in September. On the strength of that song, their self titled debut album was an instant success, and a further follow up single, "Sorry I'm A Lady", gave the duo another U.K. hit in early 1978.
