Passion Fruit

Passion Fruit was a German Eurodance trio. The original members were Blade (Manye Thompson), Dawn (Viola Schubbe), Pearl (Carla Sinclair) and MC Steve (Mario Zuber). The second formation was made up of the trio Nathaly van het Ende, María Serrano Serrano, and Debby St. Maarten. The lyrics for their songs are a combination of English and Spanish. They were managed by Georg Bergheim. Named after the tropical fruit, Passion Fruit got their start in 1999 with their debut hit single "The Rigga-Ding-Dong-Song". The single reached the top 20's charts in 14 countries, including Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Mexico, and The Netherlands. The singles "Wonderland", "Sun Fun Baby (Looky Looky)" and "Bongo Man" were released from 2000-2001 and they charted in the top 40's on the German singles chart. "I'm Dreaming of... A Winter Wonderland" was released in December 2001, just 9 days after María Serrano Serrano and Nathaly van het Ende were killed in the crash of Crossair Flight 3597 and it became a minor hit, reaching number 56 on the Swiss singles charts and number 72 on the German singles charts.
