Boney M. are a pop and disco group. It comprised of four West Indian singers and dancers and masterminded by West German record producer Frank Farian. They were successful during the 1970s.
The four original members of the band were Liz Mitchell, Marcia Barrett, Maizie Williams, and Bobby Farrell.
Boney M., with their bubble-gum infectious tunes, became one of the few Western groups at that time to become well-known in places such as Africa, the Arab countries, Iran, South Asia, Southeast Asia, and the USSR. To this day, along with Swedish pop group ABBA, they are among the most widely known 1970s Western music acts in these regions.
Frank Farian – an unsuccessful German schlager singer – wasn't happy with the choice of material his record company wanted him to sing. He would much rather do black music but it was unthinkable for himself to front such a project. He went into the studio in December 1974 and recorded the song single "Baby Do You Wanna Bump?", a monotonous dance track, with himself singing the repeated "Do you do you wanna bump" in a deep voice (entirely studio created) as well as performing the high female chorus vocals in his falsetto voice. The record came out, credited to Boney M. and after a slow start, it became a hit in the Netherlands and Belgium. It was then that Farian decided to hire a team to 'front' the group for TV performances. A booking agency (Katja Wolfe) found model-turned-singer Maizie Williams (originally from Montserrat) and her Jamaican friend and singer Sheyla Bonnick for him, and a dancer called Mike for the first gigs. Also during 1975, a girl named Nathalie joined but was soon replaced by Claudja Barry. Then Sheila and Mike left, and Maizie Williams brought in an exotic dancer from Aruba, Bobby Farrell. Singer Marcia Barrett (Jamaica) reluctantly joined the group which already went through another change in line-up when Claudja Barry – tired of merely lip-syncing – left in February 1976 to pursue a solo career as a successful disco singer in her own right. Finally Liz Mitchell, an unemployed singer and formerly a member of the Les Humphries Singers, stepped in – and the final line-up was found at last with Maizie Williams, Marcia Barrett, Liz Mitchell and Bobby Farrell.

A tornado is a violently rotating column of air which is in contact with both a cumulonimbus cloud or, in rare cases, a cumulus cloud base and the surface of the earth. Tornadoes come in many sizes but are typically in the form of a visible condensation funnel, whose narrow end touches the earth and is often encircled by a cloud of debris.
