London Boys are a Hamburg pop duo who have captivated audiences with their fiery show programs. In the late 80s, the artists entered the top five most famous music and dance groups in the world. Throughout their career, the London Boys have sold over 4,5 million records worldwide. History of the band's origins Based on the name, one might think that the band was formed in England, but this is not the case. The pop duo made their first appearance on stage in Hamburg. They decided to organize an extravagant group: a young man from London - Edem Ephraim; a native of Jamaica - Dennis Fuller. The first meeting of the charismatic young people took place during their studies at the University of Greenwich. After completing their studies, the friends moved to Germany. It was here in 1986 that the guys finally decided to try themselves on the singing stage. London Boys (London Boys): Biography of the group The producer and author-composer of the group was Ralf Rene Maue. The members of the group came up with their name spontaneously. Friends always teased their friends with the nickname "those guys from London", thus inspiring the musicians to take their future name. The success of the London Boys' debut album The band's debut song, "I'm Gonna Give My Heart," immediately drew fans' attention to the work of these outstanding artists. The pop performers were immediately dubbed followers of fiery Euro-disco. A year later, the musicians released the track "Harlem Desire", which reminded listeners of the earlier work of the ensemble "Modern Talking". The song was not successful in Germany, but received positive reviews from the British public. https://www.youtube.com/watch?vohWU8j_2iEg Через 2 года после возникновения коллектив выпустил дебютную пластинку. It included the group’s main hit, “Requiem.” It was this composition that fantastically made the group incredibly popular. The entire print run of the collection “The Twelve Commandments of Dance” was sold in Germany and the Land of the Rising Sun. Therefore, it was decided to create an additional print run of the record. It also sold out very quickly to European listeners. For the budding stars, it was a real breakthrough. Moreover, the inclusion of the bonus track "London Nights" on the album raised the disc to 2nd place in the British charts. Musical genre The performance style of the rising stars was a combination of the melodic genre of “soul” and the dance direction of “Eurobeat”. https://www.youtube.com/watch?vEks2FYkTbZ4 Мужчины исполняли песни о: любовных переживаниях;крепкой дружбе;расовой толерантности;вере в Бога. The artists had experience performing street dances on roller skates. As teenagers, the boys worked part-time in the Roxy Rollers dance team. It was this stage experience that later became the main feature of the London Boys' performances. After suddenly gaining popularity, the artists began to actively appear in television programs. The musicians also gave spectacular performances in clubs. London Boys (London Boys): Biography of the group London Boys concerts were very memorable. Each of the men's numbers was not only a full-fledged concert number, but also a vibrant choreographic piece. Their style of performance was later adopted by numerous bands of the 90s. The videos for the singles were also built around vibrant dance scenes. The unsuccessful third album "Love 4 Unity" The artists presented their next work in 1991. The tracks from "Sweet Soul Music" sounded very different from previously released songs. The collection includes works in the styles of "house" and "reggae". Almost all the compositions contained rap motifs. The only successful one was the ballad “Love Train”. The third disc showed that yet another change in performance style was not beneficial. Although the melodies were also rhythmic, the album did not include any truly striking hits. https://www.youtube.com/watch?vzI9UR-5R40M Потеря популярности London Boys Все последующие пластинки так и не смогли добиться и половины признания дебютного сборника. The band tried very hard to surprise the audience with unusual musical experiments, but only made things worse. The ensemble was rapidly losing popularity, like many performers of the 90s. Despite the lack of wild popularity, the musicians continued to work on the next collection. Having changed their name to New London Boys, the artists presented their 4th album, “Hallelujah Hits”. It included songs in the style of church chants and techno rhythms. The choice of arrangements turned out to be very unusual, which is why the album became the worst seller. Not a single song from the collection was memorable to the listener. After the release of this album, the band no longer entered the British top parades. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v5fcTJZR5LVI Трагическое завершение карьеры Окончание творческой деятельности коллектива — пожалуй самое печальное событие в истории поп-музыки 20 века. In January 1996, while vacationing in the mountains of Austria, the band members died. The cause of death is a car accident. A drunk Swiss driver crashed into the windshield of the musicians' car at full speed. The accident in the dangerous high-altitude section of the Alps killed more than just musicians. The accident also took the life of Edem Ephraim's wife and a mutual friend of the artists. The couple left behind a young son, and Dennis Fuller left his 10-year-old daughter an orphan. The London Boys left a significant mark on the history of disco music, even though they only managed to release four albums. The musicians are remembered as the most cheerful and vibrant group of the 80s. The duo was not forgotten, because their songs are still popular among listeners of that time.
