Editor's note

Baccara, the disco duo behind Yes Sir, I Can Boogie

A Spanish-German pair whose 1977 hit defined a dancefloor era with its simple, catchy rhythm.

For the full Baccara experience, start with "Yes Sir, I Can Boogie" and then try "Parlez-Vous Francais?" to hear how they kept the disco energy going.

You can't talk about late-'70s disco without mentioning "Yes Sir, I Can Boogie." It topped charts across Europe and became that kind of international party anthem that just sticks around. Songs like "Darling" and "Parlez-Vous Francais?" kept their sound on the air into the early '80s.

Mayte Mateos and Maria Mendiola formed Baccara in 1977 and hit big fast with their debut single. They released albums like "Light My Fire" and toured with matching outfits and synchronized moves until splitting in 1983.

Baccara was a disco duo formed in 1977 by Mayte Mateos from Spain and Maria Mendiola from Germany.

The song's simple, catchy rhythm and the duo's coordinated dance moves made it an international disco staple.

They followed with albums like "Light My Fire" and "Bad Boys," and songs such as "Darling" and "Parlez-Vous Francais?" kept them on European charts through the early 1980s. Their stage shows featured matching outfits and synchronized choreography that became part of their recognizable style.
