La historia de Boney M, uno de los grupos más icónicos de la música disco, comenzó a finales de los años 70. Fue el productor alemán Frank Farian quien ideó el concepto del grupo en 1975. Curiosamente, Farian grabó la primera canción, “Baby Do You Wanna Bump?”, él mismo, utilizando su propia voz tanto para la parte masculina como femenina. Sin embargo, pronto se dio cuenta de que necesitaba un grupo visible para interpretar las canciones en vivo y promover los discos.
Farian reunió a cuatro cantantes y bailarines de diversas partes del mundo: Liz Mitchell y Marcia Barrett de Jamaica, Maizie Williams de Montserrat y Bobby Farrell de Aruba. Esta heterogénea mezcla no solo aportó un sabor único a sus actuaciones en directo, sino que también se convirtió en una de las señas de identidad del grupo.
Boney M catapultó al estrellato con el lanzamiento de "Daddy Cool" en 1976. La canción se convirtió en un éxito instantáneo, alcanzando los primeros puestos en las listas musicales de todo el mundo. A esta le siguieron otros clásicos como “Sunny”, “Ma Baker” y “Rivers of Babylon”. Su habilidad para combinar ritmos pegajosos, letras memorables y una puesta en escena vibrante hizo que Boney M dominara la escena de la música disco.
Su primer álbum, Take the Heat off Me (1976), fue un rotundo éxito y sirvió

Freeze, I'm Ma Baker, put your hands in the air
Gimme all your money
This is the story of Ma Baker, the meanest cat
From old Chicago town
She was the meanest cat
In old Chicago town
She was the meanest cat
She really moved them down
She had no heart at all
No no no heart at all
She was the meanest cat
Oh she was realy tough
She left her husband flat
He wasn't tough enough
She took her boys along
'Cause they were mean and strong

She never could cry
Ma Ma Ma Ma

But she knew how to die

Across the U.S.A
And when one boy was killed

No no no heart at all

But she knew how to die
She met a man she liked
She thought she'd stay with him
One day he formed with them
They did away with him
She didn't care at all
Just didn't care at all

One day they robbed a bank
It was their last hooray
The cops appeared too soon
They couldn't get away
And all the loot they had
It made them mighty mad
And so they shot it out
Ma Baker and her sons
They didn't want to hang
They died with blazing guns
And so the story ends
Of one who left no friends
