Boney? M(波妮埃姆)。不仅是一支在七、八十年代风靡一时的Disco乐队,更是整个Disco时代的一个不朽传奇。 波尼?M第一首歌出现于1974年12月,是制作人弗朗克?菲林(Frank Farian)以假名“Boney M”创作了歌曲“Baby Do You Wanna Bump”,波尼是一部电视连续剧中的英雄。这首歌曲最初只在夜总会获得成功,每周唱片销量约500张。1975年底,荷兰电视台和Discos公司希望波尼?M能够出现在舞台上,于是找来了4名黑人女歌手和一名男歌手与波尼?M合作,这是波尼?M演唱组的雏形。演唱组成员不断更换,来了灵魂莉兹?麦考尔,她演唱了绝大多熟的歌曲。
莉兹出生于牙买加,上个世纪60年代末来到了德国。在听取了住在汉堡的制作人马奇拉?巴莱特的建议之后她加入了波尼?M演唱组。制作人弗朗克?菲林后来说:“就算换掉演唱组中所有的成员都不会对演唱组造成伤害,但只有莉兹除外。”而莉兹首唱的歌中最著名的就是《巴比伦河》,而《爸爸真酷》、《阳光灿烂》等也是她的原唱。
