Life
Ramona is the daughter of an African-American US soldier and a German. She grew up with foster parents who recognized her talent and made her private singing lessons possible. Ramona went to the Hanauer class, in 1964 a grenade launcher cartridge exploded. A boy had brought the explosive and brought it down. Thirty children were seriously injured due to the explosion. Ramona got two splinters in the knee that could be removed. In 1969 she was discovered in Frankfurt am Main at a talent competition and recorded her first single.
The greatest success as a solo singer she had in 1971 entitled Everything we want on earth, which made it to number 8 on the German charts. Between 1970 and 1973 she was a frequent guest in the legendary ZDF hit parade. With everything we wanted on earth, she was the second woman after Manuela to succeed. During this time she was also several front places in the Otto election of the youth magazine Bravo the most popular singer occupy (1971: 5th place, 1972: 6th place, 1973: 9th place) and performed with her most successful song in the film comedy Aunt Trude from Buxtehude. After a last success with That knows heaven alone In 1973, her career suddenly stopped. None of the five singles she published until 1975 became a success. However, with a German version of Sugar Candy Kisses, an image change from the hit teenager to the attractive young woman started.
With the single Käm but once a sailor Ramona could still place in many radio hit parades in 1974.
From 1975 she was next to Penny McLean and Linda G. Thompson to the group Silver Convention, which could achieve great international success with titles such as Fly Robin Fly and Get Up and Boogie. The band was after Bert Kaempfert only the second German act, the first places in the American charts reached. Until the dissolution of the group in 1979, there were some changes in the cast, Ramona was the only permanent member. 1977 Silver Convention took part with the English title Telegram for the Federal Republic of Germany at the Eurovision Song Contest and reached # 8.
In the following years, she tried again solo and recorded a few singles and albums, but brought little significant success. Only Flashdance - Dance in the Fire, a cover version of the Irene Cara hit Flashdance ... What a Feeling, received attention and rose in October 1983 at No. 35 on the German airplay charts.
Today, Ramona Wulf lives with her husband and three children in Berlin, gets involved in her local Catholic parish and rarely appears on gala or talk shows on television. In 2010 she successfully completed her training as a naturopath.
