Save Me
More Info
SILVER CONVENTION started life in Munich in 1974 as Silver Bird Convention when German songwriting and producing partners Michael Kunzte and Sylvester Levay released the single âSave Meâ on Jupiter Records, enlisting three session singers to take care of the minimal vocal refrain on the track. With the âBirdâ soon dropped from the acts name âSave Meâ became an international Disco hit charting at #30 in the U.K. and across the board in the U.S. at #10 Disco and #103 Pop, heralding the start of continued success throughout the 70âs.
With a settled line up of Ramona Wolf, Penny McLean and Linda G. Thompson as Silver Convention the group released this, their eponymously titled debut LP (titled âSave Meâ outside of Germany) to great acclaim as the Euro-Disco sound made waves across the world with Giorgio Morodor, also based in Munich, surfing the highest. âSave Meâ opens the album with its propulsive rhythms, sweeping horns and strings, yearning vocals and soulful sax solos. Follow up single âFly, Robin, Flyâ, a minimal mid- tempo dancer with a very satisfying piano motif and intricate strings, gained heavy rotation on U.S. radio as well as in the clubs, eclipsing the success of âSave Meâ by hitting the top spot across the Billboard R&B, Disco and Pop charts and again charting top 30 in the U.K., as well as taking home the Grammy for best R&B Instrumental Performance.
Other stand out tracks are the single âAlways Another Girlâ, âTiger Babyâ - UK #41 and âI Like Itâ which show off the lush, string-laden Euro sound with Levay's arrangements tipping the hat to the likes of Gamble & Huff and Barry White. Reaching #1 and #10 on the U.S. R&B and Pop album charts respectively SILVER CONVENTION (Save Me) has become a very influential album and is rightly regarded as a dance classic in many circles. Complete with extensive liner notes and the extended 12â versions of âFly, Robin, Flyâ and âTiger Babyâ, SILVER CONVENTION is essential listening for all R&B, Soul, Pop, Disco and Dance fans out there!
