History
The disc was recorded with several session performers. The original band members Liz Mitchell and Marcia Barrett appeared on only a few tracks. The focus was on Reggie Zibo . The singles “ My Cherie Amour ” and “ Young Free and Single ”, promoted by Boney M. as a quintet with former band member Bobby Farrell , as well as the album, were a failure both critically and commercially.
In January 1986, it was supposed to release a single with a cover version of the song “ Dreadlock Holiday " 10cc , but the release was canceled. Instead, the single "Daddy Cool '86" was released, but this event was not covered in any way. In early 1986, Frank Farian announced the breakup of the group. In the summer of 1986, Farian released the single " Bang Bang Lulu ", and in 1987 he recorded "Dreadlock Holiday" with his own vocals and backing vocals and released it in Germany as a single under the pseudonym Top Deck.
