Silver Convention

Silver Convention, the Munich, Germany-based disco ensemble, owes its primary renown to the smash single "Fly Robin Fly." Producers Silvester Levay and Michael Kunze assembled the group, which issued its debut LP Save Me in 1975 and scored a British hit with the album's title track. Following the song's ascent to the top of the American charts, Levay and Kunze enlisted vocalists Linda Thompson (distinct from the similarly named artist married to guitarist Richard Thompson), Ramona Wulf, and Penny McLean to perform under the Silver Convention name; the trio appeared on the 1976 follow-up single "Get Up and Boogie (That's Right)," another major hit. Although "Telegram" achieved success for the act in that year's Eurovision Song Contest, the group's popularity soon declined, and Silver Convention disbanded before the decade closed.
