History
Until 1980, all the songs of Boney M. were performed by members of the band Liz Mitchell and Marcia Barrett together with Frank Farian . In 1980, Farian hired the vocal group La Mama (Ketty Bartney, Patricia Shockley and Madley Davis) as supporting singers for the first Preshes Wilson album. But since Farian also used them for demonstration, their vocals were contained in the final mix on some recordings of the 1980s. The single " Gadda-Da-Vida " was the only track to feature only La Mama and Frank Farian on all vocals. Rumors of a cool relationship between Farian and the band during that period indicate that Farian wanted to show the band that he could record Boney M. without their help. Farian tried to do the same with Felicidad , but the record company eventually refused to release it, so Liz Mitchell was called in to record.
