LIZ MITCHELL BONEY M
Liz Mitchell is a Jamaican born British singer who is most famous for being the voice behind Boney M, one of the UK’s most loved disco and reggae bands. Liz moved to London in 1963 with her parents and before long auditioned for a part in Hair. She then moved to Berlin as part of the German cast and took over the part from Donna Summer, before latterly joining the group Les Humphries Singers. It was around this time in 1976 that she got a call from Marcia Bennett to return to the UK and become a part of the band we know and love as Boney M.
“Liz Mitchell received a call from Katja Wolff agency. With Mitchell, Barrett and their legendary “Baby Do You Wanna Bump” the band quickly became very popular. Liz was known as the lead singer of BONEY M.and Frank Farian once said that “All members could be replaced, except Liz”.”
BONEY M
Boney M band: Bobby Farrell, Liz Mitchell, Maizie Williams, Marcia Barrett
Boney M. is a German reggae, funk and disco music group founded in 1974. It achieved popularity during the disco era in the second half of the 1970s. The band was created by German record producer Frank Farian, who was the group’s primary songwriter and singer.
Liz Mitchell is also known as co-composer of Boney M song “African Moon”, part of Boonoonoonoos (1981) album. Her vocals are easily recognised, as the best part of Boney M songs. Sadly the band split up in 1986, however a year later Bobby Farrell managed to convince Liz Mitchell, Maizie Williams and new member hired instead of Marcia Barrett to regroup again for a tour. However due to some last minute emergencies, the replacement singer was unable to perform and the band had to recruit new members, Celena Duncan and Curt Dee Daran. Liz Mitchell focused on releasing her own album, called No One Will Force You, which was released in Spain in 1988, singles “Mandela” (a re-work of Boney M.’s 1979 hit “El Lute”) and “Niños De La Playa” (Children of the Beach) being the most popular. With the help of her husband Thomas Pemberton she built the Dove House Studios and in 1999 she released an album Share the World. In 2004 “Liz Mitchell Sings the Hits of Boney M” was released in Prague, backed by a Czech symphony orchestra. At present Liz Mitchell is performing as Boney M. feat Liz Mitchell. Elizabeth Rebecca Mitchell, born on 12 July 1952 in Jamaican Clarendon, became extremely popular as a lead singer of a German disco band Boney M. Liz Mitchell is not forgotten today either, she is even more popular with her stage disco show Boney M feat Liz Mitchell. The band is in high demand with music projects and private party planners. Regular “Liz Mitchell feat Boney M” bookings are a proof of real audience love of Liz’s incredible personality and her phenomenal talent. We would like to shed some light on the discography as well as some personal facts of Liz Mitchell feat Boney M.
