Graham Bonney, 1967

In 1966 he was represented in many European hit lists with his song Supergirl . In Great Britain the title only reached number 19. In Germany the title was more successful, here it reached number eight and was noted in the charts for four and a half months. In Germany, the single became a million seller. Since he was no longer successful in his home country with the following titles sung in English, but his German-language recordings continued to be well received in Germany, he concentrated his activities on the German market. He celebrated numerous chart successes with songs like Das Girl mit dem LA-LA-LA , Siebenmeilenstiefel , Choose 3-3-3 , Hey little lady , 99.9 percent , You are way too beautiful , Brandy , Papa Joe , I have All night thinking of you , The man who speaks the news on TV , No kisses and no tomatoes , I'll do an interview with your heart , Rosmary and Company and Anneliese . In 1969 he appeared in the first edition of the ZDF hit parade with Select 3-3-3 . From the early 1970s his success waned, but he continued to appear often on television shows and other events.

His last album so far was released in 2013: Happy in Germany .

He has been married for a second time since 1984 and lives in Kerpen-Blatzheim .
