BONEY M. - Take The Heat Off Me
ATCO | 1976
|
Reviewed
By: Motown67
Boney M. was the creation of German producer Frank Farian who needed a group to sing a hit song he made in the studio. The music is Disco with the requisite strings and three decent female singers. What gets me is the deep male baritone that drops in occasionally on the opening Daddy Cool. That guy makes me laugh every time I hear him. The one redeeming song on the album is a cover of Bob Marley’s No Woman, No Cry played fairly upbeat.

HARRIS, EDDIE - Smokin
I was originally drawn to this record because of the cover. I gotta say, it’s hot with a black dude with a fro in a corner of a room, sitting on a rug with the shades drawn, his sunglasses on, playing his sax with a whiff of smoke in background. |
