actually this is kind of Flames related as Boney M has a song sampled in that "Barbara Streisand" song they play after each goal. Most people will remember them for Rasputin or their Christmas albums. They were uber popular in the late 70s, as one of the world's biggest acts. As a kid I remember my aunt and uncle putting one of their records on for me and me running around dancing. Certainly some of my earliest memories.
In any event, this little guy was found dead. I still list their concert in December 2001 as the most enjoyable I've ever been to. It certainly wasn't the best, but I laughed until I couldn't breathe for the entire time they were on stage. It was awesome.
Bobby Farrell kept running around yelling "Are you Ready? and he was totally bald except his fricken pony tail, like a grade A cheeseball, but the women went bezerk - even the young ones.
If you haven't bought either their Christmas album or greatest hits album and given it to your parents, you should. guaranteed it gets played in the CD player or the ipod.
