For Boney M fans: Marcia Barrett article

[Bernie]

Not sure how many of you are Boney M fans... Here's a link to an article on Marcia Barrett. In it she tells how producer Frank Farian (Milli Vanilli) didn't pay her...

Now that was a good Marcia article - a great and gritty woman for sure. Interestingly she is quoted wanting to see members of Boney M getting together for a show. Several ex-members of the band who did not necessarily voice a sound in a studio or on a stage back in the seventies - like the totally lipsynching male "lead singer" of the group - apparently decided to "be" Boney M. As a result there have been "original Boney M" troupes travelling around Europe for a decade or more, just like there have been Baccaras of all suspicious sorts. The producer of the actual Baccara told me that many of the singers of these fakes originate from countries that used to belong to behind the iron curtain.

I saw Baccara in 1989 in a gay club & although their sound was very different to their 70's sound, I could swear that it was the same 2 ladies; if not they were dead ringers for them. BTW, their 'Fantasy Boy' track was so under-rated IMHO.
