Boney M. (Official Thread)

[Nololob]

The group from West Germany was created by producer Frank Farian in 1975 and was composed of four West Indian artists working in London, Germany and the Netherlands: singers Marcia Barrett and Liz Mitchell, model Maizie Williams and DJ Bobby Farrell. Boney M is noted for the mix of white and black music—the producer Farian is white and the singers are black; significantly many songs are black (freedom) songs, for example “No More Chain Gang” in the album Oceans Of Fantasy.

Every thread involving something Dutch, is worth responding to...

I grew up with this of course, since they were huge in Holland!

 

[Nololob]

^^ They were huge in most of the European countries.

The Eagle eye Cherry factor was no surprise here... when Bobby actually had to sing on a live TV link... awesomely bad!
In saying that... the production and sound was enough for Duck Sauce to lift the hook:

Gotta Go Home.
