  As it was wiki that carried the news I was more than sceptical, but it would appear to be true, sadly.......

  I don't think he wrote the boney m track Gotta go home. And the bit that was used was from another song from the early 70's.

  Yes, an ironic end...especially as his last words were reputedly: "Oh, those RUSSIANS"

  Yes it was producer Frank Farian who wrote & sang on all the Boney M tracks & guess who else.........
  
  Milli Vanilli !!, so he has history in this regard.
  
  Boney M in fact was only two people Frankk Farian & Marcia Barrett
  
  To be fair to Bobby Farrell, in the 70's we all thought he was singing on those tracks.............
  
  RIP

  R-R-Rasputin' is one of my all-time favourite records. It easily measures up to my top 3 of the 21st century so far!

  Contreversial news alert,I actually prefer Boney M to abba.
  
  Felecidad and some of their lesser known songs are great.

  I love Ma Baker & Rasputin.
  
  Rasputin died on 29th as well but Wiki says he died on the 30th.
  But I guess that not be such a good story.

  I'm saddened by his death also . . . .
  
  I would've liked to have seen them touring or releasing some new material . . . .

  Apparently a new remix CD will be released at the end of January;

  I don't know anything about it but I think it might be something to do with that Barbra Streisand thing. I hope it's good.
