Sweet Connection was a female musical duo project from Germany. Active for a short period between 1988 and 1990, they were notable for their debut song "Need Your Passion".

History

Original lineup

Behind the project was euro disco record producer Luis Rodriguez, better known for his work with Modern Talking and C. C. Catch,[1] with songwriter-producer Reinhardt Frantz (New Baccara, Casablanca, Pepper Girls). The group's image revolved around the sexy dichotomy of a sultry blonde and brunette.

The duo originally consisted of brunette June LaVonne Polichio (born December 27, 1959, Los Angeles, United States) (former lead singer of 'The Pinups', a German-based Californian group) and blonde Inge Schaubschläger (born December 20, 1958, Wolfratshausen, Germany), a glamour model. The duo released their debut single "Need Your Passion" in 1988, which became a European club hit.[1]

At the end of the year followed their second single "Dirty Job".

New lineup

In 1989 the duo was replaced by another duo with aliases Billie Joe and Sue Dixie (real names unknown). Unlike the early incarnation, the pair was given songwriting credits. The duo released two more singles for the following two years ("Heart To Heart" and "Love Bites") before dissolving in breaking up in 1990.[2]

Years following the split, all four singles became a common fixture in nightclubs and Italo disco compilations.[1]

Present

Although an album was never leased during their active career, in 2008, a compilation album titled after their hit debut song, Need Your Passion, was released by an independent record label DWS Records. It featured all of Sweet Connection's singles and remixes.[1]

The brunette of the first lineup, June LaVonne, currently resides in Germany and is still actively involved in music under the alias of Bonnie Benedict. She also runs a private English teaching course in Hamburg.[3]
