Thank you Daddy Cool!
News of Boney M frontman Bobby Farrell’s death saddens me. I was 7 and living in Hong Kong when their huge hit Daddy Cool came out in 1978. My father loved their songs and I hated the group, probably because I was simply scared by people who didn’t look like "one of us". But, like many others, I grew into my dad’s mindset without even knowing. Recently I came across vintage footages of their performance and I simply fell in love with them!
Their catchy songs, music and lyrics are no longer scary. Their outfits and hairdos are still outrageous and crazy, but way cool! I now only wish that I can sing and dance like they did!
More from BBC News, all three with a short video:
