I just want to state for the record that I attended, quite by accident, a free open-air Boney-M concert in Warsaw, Poland, on the eve of the New Year 2000. (54 comments total) 50 users marked this as a favorite Still an active producer, Frank Farian was recently the subject of a successful and critically acclaimed 'jukebox musical' called Daddy Cool, which featured the music of Boney M, Milli Vanilli, and other Farian projects. The latter was actually a cover of an earlier La Bouche song presumably it wasn't too hard to get the rights. Farian was also behind No Mercy, (not to be confused with these guys or these guys), who also had two big mid-90s dance hits: Please Don't Go and Where Do You Go.
An interesting piece of trivia, though: since Led Zeppelin never released 'Stairway To Heaven' as a single, this was actually the first version of the song to ever chart.Īfter Milli Vanilli, Frank Farian founded the dance band La Bouche, who had two huge club hits in the 90s with Be My Lover and Sweet Dreams. Featuring members of Toto, the band charted in the UK with a truly dire cover of Stairway To Heaven.
In between Boney M and Milli Vanilli, Farian also formed Far Corporation. A Milli Vanilli biopic is allegedly in theworks, written by Catch Me If You Can scribe Jeff Nathanson and directed either by Nathanson or, gulp, Brett Ratner. Interestingly, while no one seemed too upset by Farian's behind-the-scenes participation in Boney M, the 'unmasking' of Milli Vanilli created a mediasensation, eventually resulting in the revocation of the group's Grammy. That's right, Farian was also responsible, ten years later, for Milli Vanilli, who sold 30 million singles and 11 million albums before being revealed as lipsynchers. Hmm, a German dance band lipsynching someone else's vocals.sound familiar? Farrell and the rest of the band merely mimed Farian's heavily manipulated vocals when appearing on television. Farian wrote Boney M's songs and performed all of the male vocals (and many of the background female vocals) in the studio. However, it was an open secret that Boney M was masterminded by producer Frank Farian.
