Maizie Williams feat. Bobby Farrell

Maizie Williams and Bobby Farrell were both original members of the 70s & 80ssuper group Boney M. They are known for having monster hits with songs suchas Daddy Cool, Ma Baker, Rasputin, Sunny, Brown Girl in the ring and Riversof Babylon.
When Bobby past away last year, Maizie wanted to do something for him as a tribute. Bobby was so well known for his flamboyant dancing in the group and Maizie thought that Bobby’s comparison was very much like the French icon Josephine Baker. Ms. Baker also sashayed on the Paris stage during the 1920’s with a comic, yet sensual appeal that took people by storm. And one dance routine still pinned to her today is that extraordinary banana dress performance.
This vision led to a new recording that would be titled “Josephine Baker” whichwould feature Maizie Williams singing together with Bobby Farrell dancing.The video uses archive images of Bobby taken from footage recorded in 1989, plus footage from the Josephine Baker era.
This is the first new single released involved two members of Boney M in over 30 years and surprisingly it is a catchy dance number following in the foot steps of artists like Lady Gaga, David Guetta and Duck Sauce whom all turned to sampling the melodic sounds of Boney M.

This popular sampling method was also applied to “Josephine Baker” soundinglike a sample from Boney M while being an original track.

Bobby was a treasure and well-loved around the world and will truly be missed.The single "Josephine Baker" is released on Monday 3rd October: in the week of Bobby Farrells birthday week (Bobby Farrell was born on the 6th).
