Boney M. - 'Daddy Cool' Reaction! Man O' Man! High Energy Disco! We Want Whatever He's On!

[@BR-kv5kj]

Boney M are fantastic. Bobby Farrel is a legend. All my young years in the lovely 70's.

[@richardworonowicz9076]

In UK and Europe Disco never died like it did in US

[@JuicyJLee]

Don't forget South Africa

[@joeladams2540]

As an American I can say euro disco was so much more entertaining

[@bradleypaulus2926]

That's right. Eurodisco is still being made. Only commercialized disco died.

[@jacquestricatel7055]

"UK and Europe"🤔🥸

[@nurhidayahabdullah1548]

So true, even in Asia we still listen to disco music.

[@penname5766]

Love Boney M! So many iconic tracks! Mary’s Boy Child is a MUST in the run-up to Christmas.

[@darrylvonrokk]

they were fake....just like Milli Vanilli

[@balazskocsis3128]

After the success of Mary's Boy Child they released a Christmas album. My favourite Christmas CD ever!

[@salvessen6100]

Bobby Farrell's the man! Absolutely love him!

[@shadowbanbaitaccount7874]

Boney M. were the original Milli Vanilli prototype "band" from legendary German producer Frank Farian.

[@Votedjt2024]

Rest in peace Bobby Farrell god bless you 😢

[@danielbritton8588]

1977, Mombasa, Kenya. I was sitting in a bar drinking a "Tuskers" beer. I heard this for the first & only time. Disco era. It took until 2020 to hear it again.

[@shwicaz]

OH MAN! Boney M! "Brown Girl In the Ring", "Rasputin"...they were quite an interesting group. High energy, for sure.

[@22gtrotter]

Seeing these kind of reactions; it always amazes me how little people know about music history !

[@MischaGER]

Frank Farian the most successful songwriter in German history wrote and sold 800 million records with Frank Esposito, Milli Vanilli, La Bouche, No Mercy and Boney M with #1 smashers like Daddy Cool, Sunny, Brow Girl in the Ring, in 1978 when the Bee Gees conquer the whole globe in summer 1978, except UK and Germany where the banger Rivers of Babylon peaks for the longest run of 16 weeks on #1 - only Luis Fonsi and Despacito, 40 years later equals this all time record in Germany.

[@Train-mo2rj]

TMI. Everybody on the planet knows that.

[@Cinemascope3000]

Now Farian have more than 950 mln records sales (official statistics from DPA, 2021).

[@yvonneschonberger197]

The Girl in the middle her name is Liz Mitchel she was the best singer in group. I loved back then❤❤

[@danfrost3043]

They were huge throughout Europe & The UK at one time rivalling ABBA for sales. In 1978 they were the highest selling act in The UK. Often referred to as the "Black ABBA"

[@rainerzufall42]

At that time, I remember, ABBA and Boney M. were the only ones to go at the top of the charts, in an alternatiting series, esp. around "(By The) Rivers Of Babylon"!

[@NYAndreas]

This was a star-making performance that catapulted Daddy Cool to the top of the German charts for a massive 12 weeks, making Boney M one of the biggest acts of the late 70s. The single had been stuck outside the top 50 on the German chart, so it was not eligible for the weekly chart show. However, after another act canceled, the producers invited Boney M to perform. Daddy Cool also became a hit throughout Europe, reaching the top ten in several countries, including the UK. Boney M achieved eight number 1 hits in Germany and two massive number 1 hits in the UK.

[@TheDivayenta]

For some more funky smooth greatness- Give Me the Night by George Benson. No one can sit still to it! .

[@TracyVoD]

I love Boney M. I'm sure I've suggested before that you guys check them out. Boney M is not a man - it's the name of the group and the lead singer is Female but they've changed members/singers a few times over the years and the guy who does the male vocals didn't think he looked cool enough so got another male (the one dancing in the video) to lip synch in his place. He was also responsible for Villi Manili also - the duo who caused a scandal when it was revealed that they were only lip synching and not singing their songs/using their own voices. There are loads of great Boney M songs but faves of mine would include: Rasputin, Ma Baker & their cover of Sunny.

[@frankdevries5739]

Bobby Farrell made everybody smile. It's great

[@mimi-wy7nw]

Bon M, exitazo en toda Europa

[@lewisner]

They were HUGE in the UK and were nicknamed Money B because of the cash they were making. I never liked ABBA but I can listen to Boney M and it takes me straight back there. ❤

[@mikew4001]

RIP Frank Farian!

[@mucagamers7405]

In Spain, many nightclubs continue to close their stores with Bomey M

[@matthewrandom4523]

He didn't even sing by himself. He was just just fooling around doing strange and bizarre moves. His voice actually was the band's producer's voice Frank Farian, a German.

[@lewisner]

He sang live in concert sometimes. In the Sopot concert you can tell the difference between his voice and Frank Farians.

[@musicworldvision802]

Especially in the beginning was there not even male singing...it was only a voice, saying some words,...not based on singing talent... The guy was okay...he was just there as a showman...

[@Astons_Martin]

Reach out for Boney M's fabulous Xmas song 'MARY'S BOY CHILD'. Very impressive and a real banger! Watch out for the original '78 video and not the later stripped down version!

[@santacruz7455]

Hello from Germany, Rob "the singer" ,was actually not singing he was the dancer and came from the Netherlands, it was the German producers voice, Frank Farian. Years later Farian did the same with his new group "Milli Vanilli", who had several Billboard No 1 hits. Shortly after, the fraud leaked and it was a huge scandal in the music business. (The women in Boney M came from the Caribean and were professional singers ). Nevertheless, I think Farian did a pretty good job composing and producing this group, they were huge and a lot of their songs a true classics.. Try "Ma Baker" and "Rasputin"

[@musicworldvision802]

Not a scandal. He sang live and gave concerts all over the world till his last day!!!!

[@farin71]

But he don't sing by the Boney M Songs thats fakt @@musicworldvision802

The NewYork DJ Project "Duck Sauce" had a huge dancefloor "nu disco" hit in 2010 titeled "Barbra Streisand" (made "gold" in sales in the US ..in the charts Nr1 in several countries around the world ...24 Mio views on You Tube) The entire musical part/the entire melody is basically a cover/the sample from Boney M´s song "Gotta Go Home" from 1979... The entire "Barbra Streisand" track is basically the first 16 bars/the intro from "Gotta Go Home" put on loop constantly repeating.

Been waiting for yall to react to Boney M. They were Milli Vanilli before Milli Vanilli. It was actually the producer Frank Farian who sang the "She's crazy like a fool", a German White guy with that bass voice. He's the same producer behind Milli Vanilli. Think about it he thought he got away with the scheme with Boney M, so he did the same with Milli Vanilli. Both bands screwed by Frank.

So the story is that all the music and lyrics were written by a German music producer dude who then hired these folks to perform the music. The ladies are genuinely great singers, but the front man is lip-syncing. So the voices are the ladies plus the German dude.
