Silver Convention
1975 Scandinavian pressing in near-mint condition.
Using female session vocalists named Ingrid, Wilma and Monica, Silver Convention scored a successful single in the United Kingdom in 1975 with "Save Me", which peaked at #30. They later used other vocalists, such as Gitta Walther, Lucy Neale, Betsy Allen, Roberta Kelly, and Jackie Carter for their first recordings and upcoming album. Since they were only a studio group, Levay and Kunze realized then that they would need to find professional entertainers for presentation to the public. Penny McLean, Ramona Wulf and Linda G. Thompson became the public face of Silver Convention. They scored a major US and Canadian hit single: "Fly, Robin, Fly", of which the complete lyrics consisted of only six different words (fly, robin, up, to, the, sky). The single maintained three weeks at #1 in late November and early December 1975, and won the group a Grammy Award for Best R&B Instrumental Performance. It sold over one million copies and was awarded a gold disc by the R.I.A.A. in December 1975. Both "Save Me" and "Fly, Robin, Fly" are on the tracklist of their second studio album, named Silver Convention.
