>> Friday, March 6, 2009



Boney M. is a West Germany-based pop and disco group created by West German record producer Frank Farian. The four original members of the group's official lineup were Liz Mitchell and Marcia Barrett (Jamaica), Maizie Williams (Montserrat), and Bobby Farrell (Aruba).

Members:
* Liz Mitchell, Lead and backing vocals (1976–)
* Marcia Barrett, Lead and backing vocals (1975–)
* Maizie Williams, Dancer, live vocals (1975–)
* Bobby Farrell, Dancer, rap, live vocals (1975–81, 1984–)
* Reggie Tsiboe, Lead and backing vocals (1982–86, 1989-90)

Compared to other best-selling artists of the 1970s like ABBA, Donna Summer, and the Bee Gees the Boney M. discography is quite unusual – while the greater part of the band's back catalogue has been remixed, remade, remodeled and reissued all through the 80s, 90s and 2000s by producer Frank Farian and record company BMG-Ariola (now Sony BMG), most of the original 7" and 12" versions issued on vinyl in the 70s and early 80s remained unavailable on CD until 2008 and the release of the box set The Collection and the single CD compilation Rivers Of Babylon (A Best Of Collection).
