Career 1970s In the 1970s, Wolf released music under her birth name as well as under the stage names Anne-Christie and Christina Simon. As Christina Simon, she was selected to represent Austria in the Eurovision Song Contest 1979 with the entry "Heute in Jerusalem". The song featured lyrics by André Heller and music by Peter Wolf.
