New York-born Rhonda Heath had her showbiz breakthrough at a young age when she was chosen by producers Sylvester Levay & Michael Kunze to replace Linda G. Thompson for Silver Convention. She came to Germany in 1976 to record the group's Madhouse album, representing Germany in the Eurovision Song Contest 1977 and doing a world tour with Silver Convention 1977/78 before the group ultimately split early 1979. Kunze signed Rhonda for two singles on his Karma label (these can be found here https://youtu.be/c6KPlneELhQ), but by the turn of the decade music styles were changing and disco music no longer in fashion. Rhonda decided she needed a new style and started working with G?nther Moll (one of Giorgio Moroder's musicians) for an album on Global Records and Tapes. Debuting the song Forever And More at a song festival in Korea in 1981, she finished 3rd and was hopeful that the rock-flavoured album released in February 1982 would do well. \"I feel I have fully realised my musical potential with it,\" she stated in the press release, adding that she felt pigeon-holed by the \"disco lady\" image. Unfortunately for Rhonda, the LP did not do all that well. She released a poppier second album on Global, Neonlight Love Affairs in 1983. She spent the rest of the 80s as a session singer, she got married and had her son in 1990. She also backed Gary Lux (Austria, 1985) and Mekado (Germany, 1994) in the Eurovision Song Contest. These days Rhonda still resides in Munich and works as a vocal coach and also plays the violin.
