It's so cool to see people getting into Boney M in 2021! My aunt is actually one of the background singers (the woman with the braids!), the coolest aunt ever. Thank you for spreading the disco love and shedding light on such an important part on Black music history!
Oh wow! Cool! They were all so beautiful. You as well.
Hahhah what a coincidence too .Bonney M happens to be my uncle.
actually they were born to give the best and live with us for us ever without any expecatation from us
Bella, Liz Mitchell was just in my hometown of Toronto Canada last night and I had the privilege of being there. 70 years old and still killing it vocally. She didn’t sound much different than she did here in 1979. I am an ‘88 baby but my Dad had the Nightflight To Venus album on cassette tape. I wore it out as a kid and have loved Boney M since.
Stop the cap
The guy in Boney M is such a great dancer. He was way ahead of his time dance/performance wise. He deserves more respect in dance and live performance ability. He makes them what they are
You're right. He didn't deserve the treatment he received from Mr. Farian.
Bobby Farrell
R.I.P Bobby❤
The "mamamama" verse was used in Lady Gaga's "Poker Face "!!!love it ❤️
The song was inspired by a real woman called Ma Barker and her sons, who were at the top of the most wanted in the 1930s. Ma Barker and her son Fred were killed after a 45 minutes gunfight by the FBI.
Straight gangsta
Ma Baker knew how to die
wow...really?
@@shenic88 really! Go check out the history of Ma Barker:)
@@dlmdee Fool is in his house,
The dancer is Bobby Farrell born on Aruba. He sinc-ed all his notes to the "owner" of Boney M the singer Frank Farian from Germany.
I grew up with Boney M, and ABBA, and my mom told me, that before i even had learned english, I could sing along with their songs! (Denmark)
Boney M was actually a West German group because they were managed from West Germany. The musicians and performers in the group were all from different Caribbean nations. Their best song IMHO was ''Ra Ra Rasputin'' and I'd love to see this beautiful woman RogueRxyce react to it.
The 2 ladies were originally from Jamaica
Yes, as a german kid in the 90`s i grew up with boney m through my parents. Now it has nostalgic value for me.
They also had a Hit Record from a Bible Quote The Rivers Of Babylon, the same way The Byrds had Turn Turn Turn. I thought they were Hatian.
IMO their greatest song was (is) Daddy Cool.
Boney M were German because they were Frank Farian's project. He played most of the stuff and did the male voice. The performers are good dancers, but only one of the ladies actually sang.
They were the best back then, late 70's.The music was electricfiying.U can feel the vibes.
One of the craziest songs I've ever heard... Never get tired of this masterpiece
Ma Baker and her family existed and was part of the Gangster era of the 30's along with Bonnie & Clyde, John Dillinger and Al Capone.
Boney M was really big in Europe, not so much in USA .
Yes, they were big in Germany! I remember.
@@deborahbryan3639 Not only Germany , in the whole of western Europe !!
@@josephwhirlwind6086 In South Eastern to. In Yugoslavia they were very big. My dad were at their concert in Belgrade 1978
We loved them in Norway
ALSO IN THE PHILIPPINES 🇵🇭🇵🇭 WHEN IT COMES TO NIGHT DISCO CLUB 80S EURODANCE TECHNO EURODISCO
The guy was called "The king of disco" and he really was and about this song: It was inspired from a story of a woman which had 4 sons back in 30's, she robbed many banks and she finnally was killed with her sons, the producer (Frank Farian, It's a german producer) found this story interesting. Much Boney M. songs were inspired from true stories (Ma Baker, El Lute, Rasputin and much more) I hope those ideas helped you a little bit, I know what I'm talking about because I am a big fan of this group since I was a little kid. And a little fun fact: the "Ma Ma Ma Ma" from Lady Gaga's Poker Face was inspired from Ma Baker.
He wasn't disco . Very innovated artist . Better dancer than Jackson .
wait till you listen to rasputin
Franck Farian also created or produced Milly Vanelli …….
He can dance for life. One of the best dancer in his time. We all borrow moves from him then, growing up
But he was never allowed to be heard: The first recording of Boney M had come out before there was a lineup. It was more or less a toy project by producer Frank Farian. When there was the first request of a TV station for "them" to appear on a show, he had to hurriedly get a lineup whose outer appearance would fit the music and the name of the band. All female members were after a while allowed to sing their parts themselves. The guys voice timbre was so different from Frank Farian's that his mic was always muted on live appearances, and instead Farian's studio recording was played in playback.
This song is one of the best songs from Boney M. I love this group. They were one of the best back in the days..
One of the biggest groups of the 70s. Sold records by the millions!
Finally somebody reacted to the right video!! This whole show from this Festival 1979 is incredible.
This song brings me back so much memories,it reminds me my childhood years, 😌😌😌 awesome years.
That lead guy is such a loveable, awkward freak!
Boney M. was a Euro-Caribbean vocal group created by German record producer Frank Farian, who was the group's primary songwriter. 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, a performing artist 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. The band has sold around 80 million records worldwide and is known for international hits including "Daddy Cool", "Ma Baker", "Belfast", "Sunny", "Rasputin", "Mary's Boy Child - Oh My Lord" and "Rivers of Babylon".[3
Frank Farian is also the producer behind 'Milli Vanilli', where he also employed lip-syncing dancers to front the act. Personally, I don't mind that he used models and dancers to front the groups, while the real talent behind the music was in the studio. But it sucks for anyone who bought into the stage performers as being the real talent behind the music, when they had very little do to with the creation of these tracks.
He was the singer as well
Thank God I grew up listening to this group. Nice reaction and memories lingers
Ma Baker……great Disco hit!
HE WAS THE BACK UP AND THE DANCER ....Those girls were the QUEENS
Awesome group. Produced some of the greatest dance songs of all time.
The 70s and 80s were beautiful and wonderful years in music and in all the senses!
we have a friend called Mark Baker. When we went to a club and this song came on, we would sing "Ma Ma Ma Ma - Mark Baker!" hilarity ensued, and for me, this NEVER got old.
You're a fellow Brit right? Just sounds like such a British thing to do! 🤣
@@MikeSparrow Aussie
@@MikeSparrow When Mamma Mia by Abba was in the charts and I got home I would shout to my mother "Mam , I'm here!".
The whole Sopot Festival with Boney M is really really good.
You should check out some more of their songs they preformed on that festival.
Great reaction
RIP Bobby Farrell (the dancer)
Greets from Germany the homeland Frank Farian, the producer of Boney M and Milli Vanilli
And don’t forget, the real voice behind the legends …🤣🤣🤣
They had a moderate hit in the US in 1976 with a cover of Bobby Hebb's "Sunny."
I think, everybody knows this song only from their cover. Nobody knows who the hell is Bobby Hebb.
The lead singer, who has since passed, is from the island of my birth, Curacao.
The 1st flag is of Curacao...
🇨🇼🇩🇲🇨🇦
I love your reaction. It got me dancing as much as the video itself. Great fun.
I never get tired of listening to this song over and over again… one of the best vintage songs in the late 70s ❤
Absolutely loved your reaction. Especially the opening.
boney m was created by frank farian, a german producer who also produced milli vanilli. the dancer Bobby Farrell only moved his lips to the voice of frank farian ... like with millil vanilli ;)
I love your reaction I must of watched this 30 to 40 times congratulations on your channel it does help you are pretty too! 😁😘🌺❤️👏👏👏
This was also a Movie starring Shelley Winters and Robert DeNiro when he was starting out. Boney M were very big in the Discos All Over The World. Another Song that was popular for them was their Version of "Sunny" you may have heard in Boogie Nights.
Still a vibe even after four decades. Grew up to this. Thanks for the nostalgic memories. You can checkout their other songs too - Daddy Cool and Rasputin.
If you really want to see him move, check out their song called "Daddy Cool".
Oh I remember this!!! From long ago! The group is called Boney M. , you had it right. And yes, orchestration is a word lol
Finally, a subject I know something about (outside of nigerian music or afrobeats like they call it). The guy in the group is bobby farrell. sadly he died 11 years ago. i loved listening to boneyM while growing up. 1. strange fact- the guy never sings the words, he only mimes. several other guys have played the 'male' role since the passing of bobby. 2. fun fact - they have the jolliest and most popular christmas songs ever. 3. secret fact - used to crush on one of the ladies - liz mitchell.
thanks for these facts 🙌🏽 ... especially the 3rd 😂
buhahahahahaha
@@RogueRxyce Voice & production is by the german producer Frank Farian who created the group & also some other successful groups like Mili Vanilli (who also don't sang themselves)
Yes the dancer only danced and 2 of the three front singers never sang on their studio recordings. The 3 woman in back are actually doing the singing. They lip synked most of the live shows.
@@RogueRxyce actually they were a 'german' studio band, produced by Frank Farian, a famous german pop/disco producer...and like Alexandro Rocca said below:
The song was inspired by a real woman called Ma Barker and her sons, who were at the top of the most wanted in the 1930s. Ma Barker and her son Fred were killed after a 45 minutes gunfight by the FBI
Just started watching your reactions to songs from when I was young, great entertainment and such a bubbly person
You know what? I totally love bass driven songs of the 70's
Hi, my dear - fact is that the "lead singer" Bobby Farell never sang a note in ANY song, in ANY video - a gifted dancer, but otherwise.... . That was done by the producer and creator of Boney M. Frank Farian (a German genius) himself.
He has been famous and infamous with another group "Milli Vanilli" - the two singers and dancers were also absolutely voiceless in every performance - sung by studio musicians of Frank Farian's grace.
That is FACT !!!
The girls of the band Boney M. are all however real singers, especially the lady with the slight scar on her face (Maicy) is still on tour today and meanwhile also a bit older! But still good!
But I’m in love with Liz for decades…🤣🤣🤣
I think she was the only one who actually sang. The other female voices were from German studio singers.
The leader singer is Liz Mitchell
Also gorgeous jamaican miss marcia barret was a very good singer and really pretty without makeup too
MC Hammer you have some splainin to do!
super song, goosebumps
Boney M was the hottest thing from 76 and the 70s out. Loved them and still do. ❤️🕺❤️
this is by far the best reaction i have seen to this song. best regards from germany
Did anyone else think "Ma Ma Ma Maaaa" sounded similar to the same in Lady Gaga's Poker Face?
AS SOON AS I HEARD IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lol yes!
Rifs are often copied
Wow! I hadn’t before, but now I CAN’T NOT hear it. Great catch!
There's only so many patterns and riffs out there. Many have been repeated over time, often with nobody noticing generation to generation.
She’s used it
I reckon even Michael Jackson has some of this guys moves
COOOOOLL
hi, this is my 3rd time seeing you, i absolutely adore you, so sweet and so beautiful.
my mom and i were in love with Boney M, amazing group, love all their songs. i had no idea they were in Poland, what a surprise ......Sopot festival 1979
Boney M 1979, I was 19 it was cool in the clubs and don't forget beer in Germany from 16 years old 😛
All time my favourite bonny m miss yaaa
That guy does a really 'special' dance to their song Rasputin
His name is Bobby Farrell
Do a reaction to their song "Rivers of Babylon" I think it was their first and biggest hit. It has a fantastic rythyms. and great percussions, and vocals.
Disco derived from the french "Discotheque" Paris France were disco music was born.
Orchestration is a word. But sweetie they are not considered an orchestra in musical terms. Music production, maybe more to this genre.
Like your background song I think it's "Mercy Mercy Me" one of my favorite to play percussions to. Nice reaction.
I can't believe everyone doesn't know the Boney Xmas songs, it's literally on non-stop from November till Christmas here in South Africa
The best group in the 70's.Larger than life.Just listen to the music,70's man, unbelievable.
This is from festival but definitely not live performace. 1) it sounds identical as the studio version; 2) it is known fact that the crazy dancing guy, Bobby Farrell was one of the "faces" of the group but not a very good singer. Frank Farian, producer of the group, recorded the male parts on the songs in the studio; 3) i still love their hits, it brings me back my childhood.
Live is Boney M. in Dublin 1978
If you look them up on Wikipedia, you will find that the first recording was all Frank Farian, even the female parts.
I'm not sure what was better the keyboard drop or your reaction to it. My mind blew as yours did. Never heard this song before not have I seen your vids. A double whammy for me. Love the vid
I am a huge fan of Boney M . Bobby Farell was a legend . He made parachute pants look boss . Another artist you should do is Billy Ocean . He was massive in the 80s with hits like Caribbean Queen , When the going gets tough and his biggest hit Love really hurts without you
One of my favorite groups growing up.
I still have the 45 vinyl original from 1977, that was fire on the dancefloor, only people who have lived the 70s can undertand what I mean
No podes dejar de bailar con esta banda,amo esta banda ❤️
Love this jam❤️
Que buena canción, la primera vez que la escuché igual me encantó el sonido del riff xdd
hello just one thing is more beautiful than this song your smile cheers keep the good work
Great Song of the German Producer Frank Farian, who sings the main vocals. Only singin of the Band was Liz Mitchell. But great Producion. He was also the Producer of Milli Vanilli.
Marcia Barrett sang too, mostly backup but she did sing lead on a couple of their songs.
They were very talented. Disco music. lol. My parents liked them when I was growing up as a kid (late '70s - mid '80s). They had their records. lol
Lady Gaga definitely was, um, "inspired" by this song.
Girl ur gorgeous 🥰😘
MERVEILLOUS BONEY M
This was one of my father's favorite bands before he past away. R-I-P Louis Barrows.
I know the music well, but this is the first time I have seen them perform - it was great
\
Boney M was Frank Farians band, the 3 that actually sang are Frank, Marcia Barret and Liz Mitchell(Bobby only mimed to Frank's singing for many years until he was allowed to record vocals in the 1980''s, so the male voice you hear in most of the videos that you will see is Frank's). Frank was also the primary songwriter and musician.
Frank Farian also is the genius behind Milli Vanilli
Good memories of the 70s in the year 1979 I was 19 years old, very great Boney M, greetings
A very nice reaction from a very beautiful woman )) It's a compliment from the heart!
Haha man!!! You gotta love Boney M 😅😂❤️🙌🏾💯
Yes, Yes, and yes again! Boni "M❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤💯💯💯💯💯💯
Boney M are my childhood - they remind me so much of growing up. The ladies were the real singers.
Boney m,bee gees,Micheal Jackson, and phil Collins were the performers who opened global market...I m now 45 ...was 7 when my dad brought boney m and bee gees cassettes...and when I use to play them ...I was looked like a celebrity...try to react to another magical song...forget me nots
Wow que hermosa chica.

YEEEEEAHHH,THE song is greeeeat,when 1:13 starts is GREEEEAT.
The dancer (Bobby Farrell) never ever sang something. The vocals were recorded by Frank Fahrian producer and manager of Boney M. You remember Milli Vanilli ? Same producer, same thing :-D
FF should have his credits… Very talented and lots of hits he had…
@@arkandrada3305 Pretty sure he made sure he got his money ;)
The voice of the dancer is one of a German white guy.
I really love to watch all of your reactions. 😄
"Ma Baker knew how to die" lol
Boney M was popular in Russia in the 70s and 80s, almost all people had vinyl discs with Boney M
That dance move is my uncle's move when he is drunk 😅😅😅
theres a lot of footage from the sopot festival 1979 ! quite a few songs can be found on you tube of the festival !!! they are called boney m
