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

You and I were finished
I was through with you
Splitting up forever
Seemed the thing to do
I said I can't stand you
With your honey touch
This time you were cheating me
One time too much
Just then I remembered
That a friend I knew
Told me one thing
I should never do
Never never change your lovers in the middle of the night
Everything may look so different in the early morning light
Never never be too hasty when you're grooping in the dark
What you're getting into may be just a lark
Keep your cool and don't change lovers when you're feeling sorta high
Sorta big and high and mighty without really knowing why
Let your heat wear off a little, give your man another chance
And don't fall for someone else's song and dance
Sure there was this guy
Right next to me
Mine just for the asking
He said he would be
But to leave my man
Seemed to me all too strange
And I'd say that I'm glad
I didn't make the change
Now our life is almost
Like a Paradise
Let me pass on to you
This advice
Keep your cool and don't change lovers in the middle of the night
You may feel a strong temptation, the vibrations may be right
But who knows what's gonna happen, you may simply lose your cool
When you find it, you'll find out you were a fool
Never never change your lovers under any midnight spell
Take it easy, slow and easy, everything will turn out well
Let the sunshine of a new day, and don't move while you're uptight
Changing lovers in the middle of the night
Never never change your lovers in the middle of the night
Everything may look so different in the early morning light
Never never be too hasty when you're grooping in the dark
What you're getting into may be just a lark
Keep your cool and don't change lovers when you're feeling sorta high
Sorta big and high and mighty without really knowing why
Let your heat wear off a little, give your man another chance
And don't fall for someone else's song and dance
