Sophie & Magaly was a group formed by French twin sisters Sophie and Magaly Gilles, who represented Luxembourg in the Eurovision Song Contest 1980 performing the entry "Papa Pingouin". The song ended in 9th place gaining 56 points. However, it was a commercial success in France where one million copies of the single were sold. Their second single, "Arlequin", sold poorly and the German producer Ralph Siegel of the label Ariola broke the contract with them. However the producer Charles Talar gave a second chance to Sophie and Magaly. Unfortunately their follow-up singles "Toi" and "Les nanas de Zorro" were equally unsuccessful and shortly thereafter the group disbanded.
In the late 1980s Magaly contracted HIV and died of AIDS in April 1996. Sophie suffers from high depressive syndrome and now lives in the south of France.
