Biography
Maggie Mae released her first single, Ich hab’ Spaß am Leben, in 1974. She later released a German-language cover of "My Boy Lollipop" by Millie Small.[2] Due to her young age and funky appearance, she was nicknamed "Das verrückte Huhn" ("the mad hen"). In 1975, she participated in the West Germany selection competition for the Eurovision Song Contest with the song Die total verrückte Zeit and reached the 7th place. She returned the following year, singing Applaus für ein total verrücktes Haus and finishing third. In the 1980s, she retired from her singing career following her marriage to Robert Trammel and her move to the United States.
Maggie Mae died of COVID-19 in Melbourne, Florida, on 30 August 2021, at the age of 61.[3]
