Silver Convention - Silver Convention



Silver Convention
Real Name: Linda G. Thompson, Ramona Wulf, Penny McLean, Rhonda Heath, Zenda Jacks (Known As Suzie McCloskey)
Profile: Vocal girl trio. German producer/songwriter duo Michael Kunze and Sylvester Levay released "Save Me," in 1974 on the European Magnet label, as a DJ promo using the artist name "Silver Bird Convention." The single was an early disco success in the UK and the artist name was changed to "Silver Convention."
Three German girls were added to complete the line-up. Further single releases in the US (on Midland and later Midsong records) did extremely well - the disco classics "Fly, Robin, Fly," and "Get Up And Boogie," combined infectious disco beats with whirling violins.
Later singles fared less well, but are just as
worthwhile, like "San Francisco Hustle" and "Tiger Baby." But other releases are just downright tacky cheese, like "Thank You Mr. DJ," and "Dancing In The Aisles." So be selective...

"Fly, Robin, Fly," was the very first US 12" on the Midland label (barring a Carol Douglas 4-track EP) - see above. It's actually the b-side of "Always Another Girl."

Boney M - Nightflight To Venus


Profile: Producer Frank Farian created Boney M as a studio project in 1975. On the first output, "Baby Do You Wanna Bump", Farian did the spare vocals himself. After this first success and enquiries from TV stations, Farian cast the first line-up of Maizie Williams, Sheila Bonnick, African Mike and a girl named Nathalie. However, the first really recognized line up came later, with singers Marcia Barrett and Claudja Barry, model Maizie Williams and DJ Bobby Farrell.

The line-up of the group then went through numerous changes. After Claudja Barry left the band in 1976, Liz Mitchell, a former member of the Les Humphries Singers, was brought in. She went on to record Boney M's first LP, "Take the Heat Off Me". Previously recorded songs "Lovin' Or Leavin'" and "Daddy Cool", with Marcia Barrett on vocals, were included. The group's major pop break came 1978 with "Rivers of Babylon", the second highest selling single of all time in the UK.

Meanwhile, three Boney M groups are on tour:
Boney M feat. Bobby Farrell.
Boney M feat. Maizie Williams.
and the only official line-up: Boney M feat. Liz Mitchell (Liz Mitchell, Patricia "Lorna" Foster, Carol Grey and Tony Ashcroft).
