   Boy, that brings back memories.  Boney M. is (was?) a super group every
where in the world but the US.  Why they are not as famous here must have
something to do with the record companies' distribution policies and other
internal stuff.  Otherwise, their sound is as good (or as bad) as any other
successful pop-disco band/singer of the past 10 years.

   Brown Girl in the Ring is another cut off Night Flight to Venus, and my
favorite, BTW.  Their most successful songs, however, were Daddy Cool around
1975 and Ma Baker around 1977.  Man, I feel old.  Sob.
