Danny Kaye, Perry Como and Bing Crosby often featured her as well, along with other TV hosts. Las Vegas critics raved about the extraordinary talent of the young European vocalist who could sing in 12 languages and she soon found the spotlight on TV, at the Hollywood Palace and Dean Martin was so impressed he invited her on his TV show at least a dozen times. This was followed by the worldwide hit “The Breeze and I”. In 1955 Gordon MacRea presented her on the “Colgate Comedy Hour” as the “Malaguena” Girl.
In 1954 Caterina Valente introduced herself to European audiences with her recordings of “Istanbul” and “I love Paris”.
