Boney M

Perhaps the silliest disco group? Some of their early stuff is well orchestrated for the disco connoisseur, eg. "Baby do you wanna bump" (their first single released as a full-length version on 10" in the US), "Daddy cool" and their cover version of "Sunny". We also like "Dancing in the streets" - available as a US 12" on Sire records.

Group was produced by Frank Farian who also worked with Eruption and, later in the 1980's, ill-fated pop group Milli Vanilli. There are also 12" available in Europe which were never issued in the US.
