Boney M. at 50 (Part 1): Liz Mitchell on the Music, the Fame, the Struggles and Frank Farian

Liz Mitchell, the original lead singer of Boney M., reflects on the group’s 50th anniversary and extraordinary journey — from “Daddy Cool,” “Sunny,” “Rasputin” and “Rivers of Babylon” to the difficult realities behind the success. ✨🕺 In this first part of our in-depth conversation, Liz speaks about meeting Frank Farian, recording early hits like “Sunny” and “Daddy Cool,” the group’s studio dynamics, the pressures of fame, racism in the 1970s, and the emotional moments where she seriously considered leaving the group. She also shares rare insight into the recording process behind Boney M., her complicated working relationship with Frank Farian, and why the music still connects with audiences around the world today. 🪩 Part 2 of my in-depth conversation with Liz coming soon.
