Boney M.

Boney M. is a vocal group created by German record producer Frank Farian. Originally based in Germany, the four original members of the group's official line-up were Jamaican-born singers Liz Mitchell and Marcia Barrett, 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 different personnel.

History

1970s

German singer-songwriter Frank Farian (real name Franz Reuther) recorded the dance track "Baby Do You Wanna Bump" in December 1974. Farian sang the repeated line "Do you do you wanna bump?" in a deep voice (entirely studio created) as well as performing the high falsetto chorus. When the record was released as a single, it was credited to "Boney M.", a pseudonym Farian had created for himself after watching the Australian detective show Boney.

After a slow start, the song became a hit in the Netherlands and Belgium. It was then that Farian decided to hire performers to 'front' the group for TV performances. The Katja Wolfe booking agency found model-turned-singer Maizie Williams (originally from Montserrat) and her Jamaican singer friend Sheyla Bonnick for him, along with a dancer known only as "Mike" for the first gigs. Also during 1975, a girl named Nathalie joined but was soon replaced by Jamaica-born Claudja Barry. Then Bonnick and Mike left, and Maizie Williams brought in Bobby Farrell, a male exotic dancer from Aruba. Singer Marcia Barrett (also from Jamaica) joined the group, which then went through another change in line-up when Claudja Barry left in February 1976 to pursue a solo career as a disco singer. Finally Liz Mitchell, former member of the Les Humphries Singers, stepped in. The line-up was finalised with Liz Mitchell, Maizie Williams, Marcia Barrett, and Bobby Farrell.

20th Century Hits

20th Century Hits is a remix album of recordings by Boney M. released by BMG in 1999. This remix project which was credited as 'Boney M. 2000' spun off a series of new single releases; "Ma Baker – Somebody Scream" in early 1999 and previously included on French compilation Ultimate, "Daddy Cool '99" featuring Mobi T., "Caribbean Night Fever / Hooray! Hooray! It's A Holi-Holiday" and "Sunny".

I'm Ma Baker - put your hands in the air, gimme all your money - This is the story of Ma Baker, the meanest cat from ol' Chicago town She was the meanest cat In old Chicago town She was the meanest cat She really moved them down She had no heart at all No no no heart at all She was the meanest cat Oh she was really tough She left her husband flat He wasn't tough enough She took her boys along 'cos they were mean and strong Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - she taught her four sons Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - to handle their guns Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - she never could cry Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - but she knew how to die They left a trail of crime Across the U.S.A. And when one boy was killed She really made them pay She had no heart at all No no no heart at all Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - she taught her four sons Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - to handle their guns Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - she never could cry Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - but she knew how to die she met a man she liked she thought she'd stay with him one day he formed with them they did away with him she didn't care at all just didn't care at all - Here is a special bulletin. Ma Baker is the FBI's most wanted woman. Her photo is hanging on every post office wall. If you have any information about this woman, please contact the nearest police station... - Don't anybody move! The money or your lives! One day they robbed a bank it was their last foray the cops appeared too soon they couldn't get away and all the loot they had it made them mighty mad and so they shot it out Ma Baker and her sons they didn't want to hang they died with blazing guns and so the story ends of one who left no friends Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - she taught her four sons Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - to handle their guns Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - she never could cry Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - but she knew how to die Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - she taught her four sons Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - to handle their guns Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - she never could cry Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - but she knew how to die #BoneyM #BoneyM #MaBaker

    Boney M.

    Boney M. is a vocal group created by German record producer Frank Farian. Originally based in Germany, the four original members of the group's official line-up were Jamaican-born singers Liz Mitchell and Marcia Barrett, 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 different personnel.

    History

    1970s

    German singer-songwriter Frank Farian (real name Franz Reuther) recorded the dance track "Baby Do You Wanna Bump" in December 1974. Farian sang the repeated line "Do you do you wanna bump?" in a deep voice (entirely studio created) as well as performing the high falsetto chorus. When the record was released as a single, it was credited to "Boney M.", a pseudonym Farian had created for himself after watching the Australian detective show Boney.

    After a slow start, the song became a hit in the Netherlands and Belgium. It was then that Farian decided to hire performers to 'front' the group for TV performances. The Katja Wolfe booking agency found model-turned-singer Maizie Williams (originally from Montserrat) and her Jamaican singer friend Sheyla Bonnick for him, along with a dancer known only as "Mike" for the first gigs. Also during 1975, a girl named Nathalie joined but was soon replaced by Jamaica-born Claudja Barry. Then Bonnick and Mike left, and Maizie Williams brought in Bobby Farrell, a male exotic dancer from Aruba. Singer Marcia Barrett (also from Jamaica) joined the group, which then went through another change in line-up when Claudja Barry left in February 1976 to pursue a solo career as a disco singer. Finally Liz Mitchell, former member of the Les Humphries Singers, stepped in. The line-up was finalised with Liz Mitchell, Maizie Williams, Marcia Barrett, and Bobby Farrell.
