I DO NOT OWN THIS VIDEO. © (c)Copyright belongs to the rightful owner Roberto "Bobby" Alfonso Farrell (October 6, 1949 on Aruba - December 30, 2010 in Saint Petersburg) was a dancer and performer, best known as the male member of the successful 1970s pop and disco group Boney M.Farrell left Aruba at age 15 to become a sailor. He lived in Norway and the Netherlands before moving to Germany. There, he worked mostly as a DJ when producer Frank Farian spotted him for his new Boney M. group. He became the sole male singer in the group, although Farian later revealed that Bobby made almost no vocal contributions to the group's records, with Farian himself performing the male parts on the songs in the studio. Farrell did, however, perform live.He appeared as a dancer in late 2005 in the Roger Sanchez videoclip of Turn on the Music.Farrell lived in Amsterdam. He died in the morning of December 30, 2010 in a hotel in Saint Petersburg, after performing with his band the evening before.

Boney M never made a song I didn't like, and Farrell was always entertaining!! Now that he is no longer with us, I remember hearing this song over the summer and never sought it out - anyone know from what source the vinyl 7" can be obtained? Anyone who likes this song also is a fan of the Andrew Sisters' dance classic from 1945(!!), "Rum & Coca Cola!!" Thanks for posting this & Happy New Year!!!!!!! DAVEDJ

Where was it a hit?

This song is actually a cover of SM Towns - "Seaside" a KPOP song. I love both versions though, but still its happier with the KPOP sound.
