Joy Fleming is a big (in more ways than one) recording artist from Germany. Born in 1944 in Rockenhausen, Rheinland-Pfalz, she still records CDs in Jazz, Blues and Schlager styles.
She first came to the attention of the rest of Europe when she was Germany's entry in the 1975 Eurovision Song Contest, singing "Ein Lied kann eine Brücke sein" coming third from last. Her over-the-top performance is still shown on Eurovision retrospective programmes in the UK as an example of Euro-trash!
She teamed up with Pete Bellotte to record a disco LP, which is actually rather good. All tracks are uptempo, including the side long The Final Thing. "I only wanna get up and dance" was also recorded by the Raes in Canada.
