During her time in Germany, Ruth was introduced to both Grammy winner Harold Faltermayer (Beverly Hills Cop , Top Gun etc.,) and famed Producer / Publisher Joerg Evers. With Harold she wrote the theme tune for the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, commissioned by German TV network ZDF, entitled "Forever Human".

The song was released Europe-wide by BMG and featured on 14 different compilations as well as receiving daily airplay during the network's coverage of the games. With Joerg, she and Martin penned "Diva in Disguise" for Germany's legendary Margot Werner for her 1996 season.

Harold then invited Ruth to co-write some titles for Chaya, SONY's "Wunderkinder" in Europe. The first single, "I Feel My Heart is Burning", has received, according to Billboard Magazine, "massive airplay" and entered the Musikmarkt chart at #67. The second single "Hot Shot Lover" , co-written with husband Martin Nethercutt, has recently been released.

Another of the songs she co-wrote for Chaya was one titled "Think About The Children" which was subsequently selected as the theme for UNICEF's world wide promotional projects. more
