Rather than embarking on a career in
opera, in 1971, Marshall had his first hit single with "Schöne Maid". A year later, an English-language version was also released, titled "Pretty Maid". "Pretty Maid" peaked at number 16 in Australia in 1971. In 1976, he won
Ein Lied für Den Haag with the song "Der Star" but in less than 24 hours, he was disqualified because his song was previously sung in public in 1973 by
Nizza Thobi causing his spot in Eurovision to be taken over by the
Les Humphries Singers. In February 2009, he was appointed an
Officer of the Order of Tahiti Nui. ==Death==
