Retro Saturday: Silver Convention

Still on the German theme, I was inspired to feature this one thanks to Mick at the always wonderful Tracklister - one of the finest music-nostalgia blogs around: if you haven't visited it then you are missing out.

Anyway I digress. This disco act made a little go a long long way: they just had to repeat the title over and over again, but the end result was a very appealing mid-70s disco concoction:

They came to my attention again in 1977 when they represented Germany at the Eurovision Song Contest with "Telegram". Incidentally, 1977 is one of my favourite Eurovision years ever, and this was one of my favourites from it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E87FzJHsUsg.

Still fabulous.
