Biography

Silver Convention, a German Euro disco group, was formed in Munich, West Germany, in 1974 by producers and songwriters Michael Kunze and Sylvester Levay. The group initially used session vocalists Ingrid, Wilma, and Monica for their recordings. Their breakthrough came with the single "Save Me", which peaked at number 30 in the United Kingdom in 1975. Penny McLean, Ramona Wulf, and Linda G. Thompson became the public face of Silver Convention, scoring two major US and Canadian hit singles: "Fly, Robin, Fly" (which maintained three weeks at Number 1 in late November and early December 1975) and "Get Up and Boogie" (which hit Number 1 in Canada on June 15, 1976). "Fly, Robin, Fly" won the group a Grammy Award for Best R&B Instrumental Performance. Their next release, "No No Joe", only scored number 60 in September 1976. Linda G. Thompson left the group and was replaced by Rhonda Heath. Silver Convention represented Germany in the Eurovision Song Contest 1977 with "Telegram", finishing eighth. The group's album Love in a Sleeper was released in 1978, marking their last significant release before disbanding due to declining interest in the disco scene.
