Trivia: |
Produced by Frank Farian
Frank Farian ( real-name: Franz Reuther ) is from Germany and was a top-producer ( and singer ) of Euro-Disco during the 1970s. In the early years he created several songs with a "black" sound , as he was unsure to promote these songs properly he recruited Bobby Farrell, Marcia Barrett and Liz Mitchell to form the disco band: "Boney M.". This proved to be a great success formula for Farian as well as "Boney M." German producer Frank Farian ruled Euro-Disco in the 70s. Starting with soulful music, he created Boney M. with singers to front his catchy hits - a winning formula for both! |
