Boney M's Frontman Found Dead

Boney M weren't that big of a deal here in the states. But without them, back in the 70's, the European disco scene would have lacked something as glittery as Bobby Farrell's dancing. The three girls who were actually doing the singing almost took backseat to Bobby's smooth moves. He himself never even sang a tune, but was lip syncing to the voice of the group's manager, Frank Farian.
Gone forever -- another icon of the best days of my youth.

Now, that was some seeeeeeeerious dancing!

More Sad News!

Marc found out that two more of the beautiful voices of the golden era of Doo-Wop and Soul music have been silenced forever. Myrna Smith of The Sweet Inspirations left this world on Christmas day. And also Dorothy Jones of The Cookies passed away that same day.
