About

Boney M. is a West German-Caribbean disco and reggae-pop group assembled in 1974-75 by producer Frank Farian, whose original lineup brought together Liz Mitchell and Marcia Barrett from Jamaica, Maizie Williams from Montserrat, and Bobby Farrell from Aruba. Their late-1970s run produced some of the era's biggest-selling singles - "Rivers of Babylon" and "Mary's Boy Child / Oh My Lord" remain the only two tracks by a single act to both sit in the UK's all-time top-10 best sellers. The group has sold over 150 million records worldwide and continues to perform in various lineups, with both Liz Mitchell and Maizie Williams fronting separate touring incarnations.
