Teilen
Die als Gertrude Wirschinger in Österreich geborene Sängerin Penny McLean wird am 4. November 75 Jahre alt. Sie feierte ihre größten Erfolge in den Siebzigern mit Disco-Musik und landete 1975 als Mitglied des Gesangstrios Silver Convention mit “Fly, Robin, Fly“ in den USA sogar auf Platz eins der Bilboard-Charts. Zuvor war die Sängerin mit Folk, Chanson und Schlager unterwegs, blieb aber erfolglos. Ihre Stationen und Pseudonyme: Holger & Tjorven, Barbi Münzer, Barbra, Penny Box, Penny Explosion, Barbra & Helmut. Über Background-Jobs kam sie zu Silver Convention, die in der Discowelle mit Singles und Alben vor allem in den Staaten gehörig abräumten. Nebenbei pflegte sie eine Solo-Karriere, die sie 1975 mit einer Nummer eins in Deutschland für die Single “Lady Bump“ krönte. Ab 1977 verglühte ihr Stern, 1979 lösten sich Silver Convention auf und Penny McLean trat nur noch selten als Sängerin in Erscheinung. Heute hat sie in bestimmten Kreisen als Autorin von Esoterik-Büchern einen Namen.
