Su Kramer - Magic Dance (Eurovision to Hair to Studio70)


In search of ever new undiscovered underground disco tunes I came across this German gem. Was it inspired by Cat Stevens ‘Was Dog A Doughnut’, or either way around? Both tracks were recorded in the same year 1978 so we can only wonder. ‘Magic Dance‘ was originally planed to be recorded in Studio70 in Munich together with Su's label mates Kraftwerk but then has been recorded in the USA.
Kramer played the main role of Sheila in the first German musical production of ‘Hair’ in 1968. She also tried to represent Germany in the Eurovision Song Contest in 1972, but she gave place to another contestant who incidentally won the competition.
