A really classy act - very much like the 'Three Degrees.' The song isn't terrific , perhaps they needed to put more energy into it, it is too laid back until the last chorus i think.
Is the morse code supposed to say something? I don't understand morse (and I'm not willing to do so). I just want to know what the morse code in the song means.
A great group - real professionals, but the song is weak and not up to their high standards. They deserved better. Ronnie Hazlehurst is indeed greatly missed.
A famous group, nice song and coreography but only got 8th place...Germany had tried almost everything to win the Contest but it seemed almost impossible for them to lift the trophy. 5 years later, in 1982, they finally won it.
Würde ich nicht wissen, das die für Deutschland gesungen haben, würd ich glatt den Süden von der USA behaupten. Eines der wenigen Lieder welche mir von ganz früher gefallen.
I always wonder why they chose to compete in eurovision. They already had their success in the charts. Entering the competition and not winning it did more harm than good to their career.
By the way, I wonder if young people at this generation know what a telegram is.
I'm 25 years old and I remember no Internet,no mobile phones,written letters were common and your Visa card was ironed. People maybe 7-10 years younger than I don't remember anything else than having the Internet and mobile phones around and the Visa card being scanned. Well the Internet has been around now for around 15 years and do you know of anyone who plug their internet connection into the wall via phone? No now it's all wireless. Time changes so fast.
I don't know much about it but telegram is the communication system that Morse did invent and each short,long,short or whatever the combination of clicks that were used did represent certain letter.
Ah that was the weird thing about Eurovision in the early days. Established artists like Lulu and Cliff Richard, Sandy Shaw entered; I presume they saw it as their patriotic duty.
up to this year there was the language-rule again. however, germany and one other country published their entries befor this rule has been announced so at least they were allowed to sing in english. (but austria and switzerland had to sing in national language of course).

what abuse would that be ,because i have an opinion go on an report me ,you must be very sad and have nothing else to do ,fly robin fly ,get up and boogie ,save me where some of there many hits includin san francisco hustle in the states,and they fact that silver convention disbanded in early 80s and i saw them perform -hardly would make me a boy or girl,so report ,report,report you saddo .
-How about "Fly, Robin, Fly". Then ther was a certain No.1 in the U.S.: "Get up and boogie"-only a disco classic esential-and: both album and singles topped billboard charts in america! Geil, gell? :-)O
Für mich war es damals eine echte Abwechslung zu all den französischen chansons, die ich erstens nicht verstanden habe und zweitens totlangweilig fand (Als Achtjährige hat man doch mit der Tragik der Liebe und des Lebens nichts zu tun, oder?). Und ich finde dieses Lied immer noch süß. Man darf halt nicht vergessen, dass dieser Beitrag von 1977 ist.
If don't know who I'm writing about just don't be lazy and consult i.e. Wikipedia. Answering the second question. Well, in 1977 for many Europe ended with West Germany border.
An"CrazyKrokodile1" wo würdet ihr denn sein wenn nicht all die schmutzigen Diktatorengelder bei euch gehortet würden. Ferner könntet die Krankenhäuser dichtmachen ,gebe es nicht die zahlreichen deutschen Ärzte und Pfleger also überlege dir gut was du das so alles rauslässt.Ferner lebt der Tourismus von den Deutschen, da sie die grösste Gruppe sind.
Denk mal drüber nach, was du da alles so schreibst,vorallem ist es ein Beleidigung für alle die das Dritte überlebt haben.
Mal wieder Ausgang aus der Klappse gehabt, na macht nix, der Pfleger wartet bereits mit nem heißen Bad auf Dich. Ohne die Nazikacke gehts wohl net Du Ewiggestriger.
Na was bist du denn schon wieder für ein dummes Kind? Na Gott sei Dank kenne ich auch andere Schweizer und weiß, dass nicht alle so drauf sind, wie du.
Statt dich über uns schreckliche Deutsche auszulassen würde ich an deiner Stelle lieber mal zurück in die Grundschule gehen. Du könntest noch was lernen...
just wonderful...a legend! Try also out Eurovision 77'song the same yearfrom Belgium, band DREAM EXPRESS. Here we have the peak in disco-music & its costumes & choreography, unique! pat (Switzerland)
Naja, aber die Girls sind Weltmeisterinnen in Augenaufschlag. Das war damals so. Disco eben, eine echte Tanznummer zum Gutfühlen. Da spüre ich Millionen Discokugeln über mir und viel Glitter.
I'm sorry to hear about Ronnie Hazelhurst. This is a good song, it deserved better than 8th place- thanks for posting it, tasosk3. Definitely one of Germany's better entries.
As I've written in my presentation of this video, Silver Convention were a very popular group at the time, with classic disco hits like "Fly, Robin, Fly" and "Get Up and Boogie". So, I guess this is yet another proof that already famous acts entering Eurovision are by no way guaranteed to win (see also Cliff Richard in '68 and '73, Baccara in '78, or Tatu in '03, to name a few).
RIP Ronnie Hazlehurst. The conductor of this piece died on 1 October 2007. He was closely involved in Eurovision on the British side for many years, as well as being the composer of many popular British TV themes.
