Bad Boys Blue biography

Produced by Coconut Records /Intercord

By the end of the 70's, disco had died and 80's techno/New Wave had emerged. Many groups such as Modern Talking, CC Catch, Eurythmics, and Fancy, spawned a whole new genre of music, called at this time 'techno'. In addtion to this unique style of music, Bad Boys Blue was created in 1982 by the producers Tony Hendrik and Karin Hartmann. The group consisted of Andrew Thomas, John McInerney, and Trevor Taylor.

Their first single L.O.V.E. In My Car was out in 1984 and it was not very successful. But they really started making it big in Europe with the follow-ups You're A Woman (which peaked #1 in Israel and reached the top 10 in many European countries) and Come Back And Stay. With much of their success, the group still kept on producing more dynamic ballad songs, that increased thier popularity in size of fans and in music.

Likewise, Bad Boys Blue wasn't as popular or accepted well in the US due to the unwillingness of most US music fans to accept techno as a style of music. However, they did manage to gain some acknowledegment with certain songs like, I Totally Miss You and Save your Love (# 89 on the US Billboard).

In 1991, the group performed at the "Children of Chernobyl" benefit concert in Russia, along with Blue System and Den Harrow. The same year, the first video compilation Bad Boys Best was released.

Of course, with great success came many problems, leading to Trevor Taylor leaving the group to persue his own style of music. By this time, Bad Boys Blue was still strong in the charts, but not as popular around the world. As a quick replacement for Trevor Taylor, the group found a temporary singer named Ova Standing. He sang with the group for a while until a new member arose, Trevor Bannister.

But after a few albums, Trevor left the group, and John and Andrew were left as a duo. They released a new album, called To Blue Horizons, and gained much success. Finally Trevor Taylor returned to establish the original trio but his return didn't last long, and soon he left again to produce his Reggae style. Once again Bad Boys Blue remained a duo until 1995.

In 1994, the group entered a new record label : Intercord. They ultimately found the next member of Bad Boys Blue : Mo Russel. The group spent two years at Intercord producing one album, and many singles.

In 1998, the Bad Boys Blue came back under Coconut records ; some of the production team members from Intercord has chipped in their talents to produce the newest installment to the group's albums. Entitled Back, it was released for the same reason as Modern Talking's newest album. The single You're A Woman'98 was released. Eric Singleton himself was even asked to contribute to the raps.

Felix J Gauder remixed some tracks of the album Bang Bang Bang. David Brandes and John O'Flynn produced some singles (From Heaven To Heartache, Come Back And Stay '98), and many tracks of the albums Back and Continued. Lyane Leigh took part as female vocalist to the singles Come Back And Stay and The Power Of The Night.

1999 : Mo left the group at the end of the year. He was replaced by Kevin McCoy (aka Jojo Max), who had already worked with the group since 1998 as a rapper. The group released a new album called Follow The Light in Autumn.

A second formation of the BBB is a trio featuring Andrew Thomas, Kevin McCoy and Herb McCoy, who continue touring under the name "The Real Bad Boys Blue". They could be working on a new release. The coexistence of 2 bands reminds of Boney M...
