The girls weren't the background singers, they were the main singers of the band. The guy was more so the dancer.

Bony M is the name of the group. The group was created by German record producer Frank Farian. Originally based in West Germany, the four original members of the group's official line-up were Liz Mitchell and Marcia Barrett from Jamaica, Maizie Williams from Montserrat, and Bobby Farrell from Aruba. The group was formed in 1976 and achieved popularity during the disco era of the late 1970s. Since the 1980s, various line-ups of the band have performed with differing personnel.
Bobby Farrell was a dancer. He was lipsynching Farian's voice. Other songs by Bony M: "Daddy Cool", "Ma Baker", "Sunny", "Brown Girl In The Ring" and "Rivers of Babylon".

In 1996 when i was 10 i attended their concert in Russia 🎉 Liz Mitchell was on 🔥

I love how international this song is. A melody from the middle east, with lyrics about a Russian priest/advisor to the Tsarina, performed by people from the Caribbean and produced in West Germany.

When Milli Vanilli was "exposed" you had to ask: "What did you expect from a Frank Farian created and managed group? Dude sold nearly a BILLION records with the same formula..."

Bobby didn’t actually sing. Their manager Frank Farían did all the male vocals. Bobby sadly is no longer with us.

Boney M. is a Euro-Caribbean vocal group that was formed in 1976. I had their greatest hits album. This group had a lot of great songs such as "Daddy Cool", "Ma Baker", "Belfast", "Sunny", "Rivers Of Babylon", "No Woman No Cry", "Brown Girl In The Ring", "Painter Man", "Hooray! Hooray! It's A Holi-Holiday" etc. The videos are quite funny with Bobby Farrell's dancing.

I was a young kid, around 10 years old, during the Disco era. My parents had a bunch of disco records, ABBA, BEE GEES, and BONEY M. Whenever my parents left me alone in the house, I would play the Boney M albums. I really liked the catchy songs. A few years later I would become an 80's metal head, but I still always had an affinity for Boney M, ABBA, and all the other disco records.

Rasputin was a historical figure, Russian mystic and faith healer. He is best known for having befriended the imperial family of Nicholas II, the last Emperor of Russia.

this song is a good history lesson if u listen to the lyrics

[christianoazzuro]

US were unfamiliar with Frank Farian's project Boney M. This song was Huge here in Europe.They had many hits and production was really high level.Despite negative criticism from rock medias they've released some of the best Euro disco-funk dance (many even Caribean flavoured) records ever.Lots of today's hit dance tracks can't hold a candle to their Greatest hits.Other great ones are "Sunny"(a cover, )"Gotta Go home"(also gained some new popularity after being sampled, "Daddy Cool" "Let it all be music", "Ma Baker"etc.

[GiraGramos]

Is it just me or was the top 40 in the 70s incredibly varied? Today's top 40 sounds like 20 versions of one song and 20 of another.

[gregorygant]

One of the best disco/dance groups of the 70's lots of big hits all over the world except maybe the US .
Members are from the Caribbean but put together by German producer Frank Farian.
A lot of chilhood memories .
The guy dancing around wore MC Hammer pants before there were MC Hammer pants, he had so much energy I am exhausted just watching the guy !

[Mr.Greeeeeen]

I saw Bobby and his version of Boney M in Paris 1997. He came out on stage in gold bell bottoms and platform shoes. The show was great and the crowd was massive. A fun memory. 👍🕺⭐️

[irmaoksanen]

They cut out the last bit where he says "oh those Russians". Had the record back in the day.

[robertobrien]

There are 5 members of Boney M, the main person of the group was Frank Farrian who wrote the songs, wrote the music and sung the male voice part that Bobby Farrel mimed to for many years before being allowed to sing.

[punkpopnotdead]

Boney M will last for ever in the UK [Marys boy child ]gets played every Christmas

[MS-rodm]

Milli Vanilli was brought to you by the same creator. Am I implying something? Yeah. It is so good thought isn't it?
