1975: Silver Convention - "Fly, Robin, Fly" was # 1 this week

As they say, everybody was dancing in the 1970′s.     “Fly Robin fly” was # 1 this week in 1975.    The song’s story is fascinating:

The Silver Convention deception was born in Munich, Germany—a mid-70s hotbed of dance-music production whose most famous exports would be Queen of Disco Donna Summer and the super-producer Giorgio Moroder. 
But before that pair rose to fame in 1978, a pair named Silvester Levay and Michael Kunze went into a studio in early 1975 and created a European disco hit called “Save Me,” using a trio of hired female background singers to lay down the vocals. Released under the name Silver Convention, “Save Me” was a big enough hit to lead to a contract for an entire album. 
Using the same hired talent, Levay and Kunze recorded the song “Fly, Robin, Fly” (originally intended to be called “Run, Rabbit, Run”), which, to their great surprise, crossed the Atlantic first to American dance clubs, and then to American pop radio.

Very easy lyrics but great dancing tune!
