The best compositions of the group bad boys blue. Group Bad Boys Blue (Bad Boys Blue)

The Bad Boys Blue group was formed at the end of 1984 in the German city of Cologne. Three of its participants were very different from each other - in education, musical tastes and hobbies.
About the group name:
1) Uncle Andrew, who comes from somewhere in California, came up with it all. And in the States, among black teenagers, the adjective "bad" has the opposite meaning - that is, if one guy says "you" re so bad! to another, it really means - "You're cool, buddy!".
2) There was also an idea to somehow connect the name with Al Capone and mafia showdowns of the thirties. Therefore, at first they came up with "bad guys". Then they decided that it was too harsh, and changed "guys" to "boys".
3) Now about the adjective "blue". If in Russian "blue" means the color itself and sexual orientation, then in English it means color + "sad, lonely", etc. If you remember the covers of the first two albums, their accompanying singles and early videos, they always performed and were photographed in blue.
4) Well, I just liked three short words that begin with the same letter.

John McInerney was born on September 7, 1957 in Liverpool. His mother Agnes died when John was four and a half years old. John and his brother, who was then three years old, were raised by their grandmother. At the age of 15, John played in the youth team of the local football club, but he did not turn out to be a professional football player. After high school, John worked as a stockbroker, and in 1979 he moved to Germany. There he had to change his profession and try himself as a decorator.
John is a big fan of "Guinness" beer, for which his friends nicknamed him "Mr. McGuinness". He owns several pubs in Cologne; John bought the last one in March '96, and got a lot of pleasure from his own repairs.
In 1985, at one of the Bad Boys Blue concerts, John met a charming blonde named Yvonne. The girl did not like the group at all, but ... After a while, she became John's wife. And on February 20, 1989, at 12.55, their son, Ryan Nathan, was born. In 92, John had a second son - Wayne.

Trevor Taylor was born on January 11, 1958 in Montego Bay, Jamaica. When he was 14, Trevor's parents moved from Jamaica to Europe. Trevor is a typical rasta-man; until 1984 he played with Eddie Grant and UB 40. His idol is Bob Marley. Hobbies are football and cooking. Moreover, the last "hobby" for some time was the main source of income: in 1978, Trevor worked as a chef at the Holiday Inn restaurant in Birmingham, and then at the Stummel restaurant in Cologne.

The third member of the group is Andrew Thomas (Freddy Andrew Thomas). He was born on May 20, 1946 in Los Angeles. He has one brother and five sisters. Andy's father was a gospel singer. Before the start of his musical career Andy studied psychology and philosophy, and was going to become an educator. He loves to travel and says he feels best in Asia.
In 1968 Andy came to London and worked there for some time at the US Embassy. Once he went to the German city of Aachen - to visit a friend, and met a girl who lived at that time in Cologne. Then Andy "accidentally" moved to Cologne... Now he is still unmarried, looking for something special. However, according to intelligence data, somewhere his daughter is growing up, who is already five years old.
Even in London, Andy began to sing - not without the help of Eddie Grant. True, the music that he then performed was very different from the disco rhythms of "Bad Boys Blue": Andy performed mostly blues compositions.

At the end of 1984, the trio released their first single "L.O.V.E. In My Car", and "You" re A Woman" in early 1985. In the same 1985, Coconut released their first album - "Hot Girls - Bad Boys". "Bad Boys Blue" perform a lot in various discos and on TV shows.
1986: album "Heartbeat". On it, as on the band's first album, most of the compositions

Formed in Cologne, Germany, the British band Bad Boys Blue achieved resounding success in the spring of 1985 with the release of the single "You're A Woman".

The single "You're A Woman", released by Bad Boys Blue in the spring of 1985, made a splash in many European countries, instantly appearing in the top ten best songs of the continent.

Bad Boys Blue - You're A Woman

Eurodisco group, formed in Cologne in 1984, which in its history has released about 30 hit singles that have charted in many countries around the world, including the United States. The group is based in the UK.

Bad Boys Blue formed in the summer of 1984 in Cologne, Germany, after songwriters and producers Tony Hendrik and Karin van Haaren/Karin Hartmann, who held an independent record label "Coconut Records", began to look for artists to record the single "L.O.V.E. In My Car". Especially for this song, they decided to start completely new project.

Initially, the search for performers was carried out in London, but then one of the acquaintances recommended to the producers the candidacy of a native of the USA, Andrew Thomas (born May 20, 1946, Los Angeles, USA), a musician and DJ living in Cologne. Andrew, in turn, introduced the producers to Trevor Taylor (born January 11, 1958, Montego Bay, Jamaica), and Trevor brought John McInerney (born September 7, 1957, Liverpool, England) to the group.

At first they wanted to call the group "Bad Guys", then "Bad Boys", but settled on "Bad Boys Blue", as the musicians performed in stage costumes of blue color. Wherein all members of the group adhered to traditional sexual orientation, and the translation of the name "Bad Blue Boys" has nothing to do with reality. The word "blue" doesn't mean gay, but the word "bad" is jargon for "cool", "excellent"; thus, "Bad Boys Blue" can be translated as "tough guys in blue".

Bad Boys Blue - Pretty Young Girl

Debut single "L.O.V.E. In My Car" was released by the band in September 1984. Lead vocals belonged to Andrew Thomas. The record enjoyed some success in discos and clubs, but did not hit the charts. This was the first and last single-composition that Andrew performed, the producers decided that Trevor Taylor would perform lead vocals on the following compositions.

True success came to the trio only in the spring of 1985 with the single "You're A Woman", which became very popular in Europe. In Germany, the single peaked at number eight and stayed on the German Top20 for almost four months.

Bad Boys Blue

In the same 1985, the first studio album Hot Girls, Bad Boys. It featured lead vocals on most of the songs (except "L.O.V.E. In My Car") by Trevor Taylor. Almost immediately after the release of their debut album, Bad Boys Blue received the status of a cult band throughout the former Soviet Union along with another German group.

Bad Boys Blue

In 1987, during the recording of the single "Come Back And Stay", the producers decided to change the lead vocalist to John McInerney. It was the first composition in which John and Lian Lee performed the majority. Since then, John's peculiar vocals have become calling card"Bad Boys Blue"

Bad Boys Blue

The changes led to problems within the group, as a result of which, in 1989, Trevor Taylor left the band to work solo career(the musician died of a heart attack on January 19, 2008 in Cologne). A replacement was found in the person of Trevor Bannister (b. August 5, 1965, Grembsby, England).

Bad Boys Blue - Gimme Gimme Your Lovin'

In the new line-up, the group releases 4 albums - "The Fifth", "Game Of Love", "House Of Silence", "Totally".

Bad Boys Blue - Kiss You All Over Baby

After the chart success of the single "Save Your Love" (the single managed to reach eighty-one on the US music magazine Billboard chart), a compilation called "More Bad Boys Best" was released in 1992. It included best compositions from 1989-1992, as well as some previously unreleased rarities: a new version"Kiss You All Over, Baby" performed by John, a live version of "Lady In Black" and a special remix of "You're A Woman" performed by John McInerney and Trevor Bannister.

Bad Boys Blue - A World Without You Michelle

1993 was a turning point in the band's career. Bannister left the group this time.

As a duet, Andrew Thomas and John McInerney record and release their first album on Intercord with new writers and producers, including Rico Novarini (Rico Novarini) and Luke Skywalker (Luke Skywalker), members of the popular Eurodance collective " Master Boy. The record To Blue Horizons was released in 1994, but failed to repeat the band's previous success.

Bad Boys Blue

In 1995, Mo Russell (born March 15, 1956, Aruba) joined the group. In 1996, the album Bang Bang Bang, also recorded on Intercord, was released.

In 1998, in the wake of the success of the united "Modern Talking", producers Toni Hendrik and Karin Hartmann released the single "You're A Woman'98", which suddenly hit the charts in some European countries.

Tensions between John McInerney and Andrew Thomas led to the fact that Andrew Thomas left the band in January 2005 (the musician died of cancer on July 21, 2009 in Cologne). In the following months of 2005, John McInerney is holding concerts in Germany, Russia and Turkey.

In January 2006, a new member joined Bad Boys Blue - Carlos Ferreira (born April 11, 1969, Mozambique).

On June 19, 2009, Coconut Music and Sony Music BMG released a special remix album titled Rarities Remixed. The album contains modern remixes of some hit singles and album compositions.

Bad Boys Blue - The Turbo Megamix

In September 2011, John McInerney made the decision to end his work with Carlos Ferreira.

In October 2011, Kenny "Krayzee" Lewis, known for his work with C.C. Catch, Touché and Mark 'Oh, joined the group, but at the end of 2011 McInerney decided to end his work with him.

The Bad Boys Blue group was formed at the end of 1984 in the German city of Cologne. Three of its participants were very different from each other - in education, musical tastes and hobbies.

About the group name:

1) Uncle Andrew, who comes from somewhere in California, came up with it all. And in the States, among black teenagers, the adjective "bad" has the opposite meaning - that is, if one guy says "you" re so bad! to another, it really means - "You're cool, buddy!".

2) There was also an idea to somehow connect the name with Al Capone and mafia showdowns of the thirties. Therefore, at first they came up with "bad guys". Then they decided that it was too harsh, and changed "guys" to "boys".

3) Now about the adjective "blue". If in Russian "blue" means the color itself and sexual orientation, then in English it means the color "sad, lonely", etc. If you remember the covers of the first two albums, their accompanying singles and early videos, they always performed and were photographed in blue.

4) Well, I just liked three short words that begin with the same letter.

John McInerney was born on September 7, 1957 in Liverpool. His mother Agnes died when John was four and a half years old. John and his brother, who was then three years old, were raised by their grandmother. At the age of 15, John played in the youth team of the local football club, but he did not turn out to be a professional football player. After high school, John worked as a stockbroker, and in 1979 he moved to Germany. There he had to change his profession and try himself as a decorator.

John is a big fan of "Guinness" beer, for which his friends nicknamed him "Mr. McGuinness". He owns several pubs in Cologne; John bought the last one in March '96, and got a lot of pleasure from his own repairs.

In 1985, at one of the Bad Boys Blue concerts, John met a charming blonde named Yvonne. The girl did not like the group at all, but ... After a while, she became John's wife. And on February 20, 1989, at 12.55, their son, Ryan Nathan, was born. In 92, John had a second son - Wayne.

Trevor Taylor was born on January 11, 1958 in Montego Bay, Jamaica. When he was 14, Trevor's parents moved from Jamaica to Europe. Trevor is a typical rasta-man; until 1984 he played with Eddie Grant and UB 40. His idol is Bob Marley. Hobbies are football and cooking. Moreover, the last "hobby" for some time was the main source of income: in 1978, Trevor worked as a chef at the Holiday Inn restaurant in Birmingham, and then at the Stummel restaurant in Cologne.

The third member of the group is Andrew Thomas (Freddy Andrew Thomas). He was born on May 20, 1946 in Los Angeles. He has one brother and five sisters. Andy's father was a gospel singer. Before starting his musical career, Andy studied psychology and philosophy, and was going to become an educator. He loves to travel and says he feels best in Asia.

In 1968 Andy came to London and worked there for some time at the US Embassy. Once he went to the German city of Aachen - to visit a friend, and met a girl who lived at that time in Cologne. Then Andy "accidentally" moved to Cologne... Now he is still unmarried, looking for something special. However, according to intelligence data, somewhere his daughter is growing up, who is already five years old.

Even in London, Andy began to sing - not without the help of Eddie Grant. True, the music that he then performed was very different from the disco rhythms of "Bad Boys Blue": Andy performed mostly blues compositions.

At the end of 1984, the trio released their first single "L.O.V.E. In My Car", and "You" re A Woman" in early 1985. In the same 1985, Coconut released their first album - "Hot Girls - Bad Boys". "Bad Boys Blue" perform a lot in various discos and on TV shows.

1986: album "Heartbeat". On it, as on the band's first album, most of the songs were performed by Trevor Taylor, some by Andy. John McInerney only sang along on the first two albums.

In 1987, the group released the single "Come back and stay"; this song, which sounded in all European discos, was performed by John McInerney. The 1987 album "Love is no crime" already featured the voices of all three members of the group.

1988: album "My Blue World".

In the summer of 1989, the band released the album "Bad Boys Best" - a collection of their best songs, which also included a new single "Hungry For Love". At the same time, changes are taking place in the band: Trevor Taylor leaves, who did not accept the changes in the band's sound and is still true to the reggae style, and instead of him appears ... another Trevor - this time by the name of Bannister.

Trevor Bannister was born in 1965 (64?) in the English town of Grembsby. Unfortunately, there was very little information about him.

Trevor Taylor after leaving "Bad Boys Blue" tried to act in films; he now owns a shop in Cologne where he only sells his favorite reggae records.

In 1989, the group released the album "The Fifth". The most famous songs from this album are "Lady In Black" and "A Train To Nowhere".

1990: album "Game of love".

In May 1991 "Bad Boys Blue" performed in the USSR for the first time. The group took part in the grandiose charity festival "Children of Chernobyl - our children". The organizers of the concerts, which took place from May 31 to June 2 at the Olimpiysky sports complex, were Peter Müller (father of the notorious singer C.C. Catch) and the Hamburg entrepreneur Gerhard Klöpper. In addition to "Bad Boys Blue", Dieter Bohlen, C.C. Catch, Den Harrow and many other dance music performers performed at the festival.

In November 1991 "Bad Boys Blue" released their seventh album - "House Of Silence", and in December they came to Moscow again. The group took part in the filming of the TV show "BRAVO-91". Obviously, the fifteen-degree frost was nothing to them: John walked around in jeans with huge holes in his knees.

In July 1992 "Bad Boys Blue" performed in Tallinn at the Rock Summer festival.

Autumn 1992: "Totally" album (with such hits as "I Totally Miss You" and "A love like this").

In 1993 "Bad Boys Blue" released their ninth album - "Kiss", half consisted of their old hits. Then they said goodbye to the "Coconut" company, and literally a couple of months later released a new single "Go Go (Love overload)" at the "Intercord" company. But already in the new line-up: obviously, the Trevors do not take root in the group, and "Bad Boys Blue" turned from a trio into a duet. The video for this song was filmed in Oslo, Norway.

In the spring of 1994, their first album, called "To Blue Horizons", was released by Intercord. In addition to the previously recorded single "Go Go", this album includes songs such as "Luv 4 U" and "What Else?".

Despite the fact that "Bad Boys Blue" moved to the company "Intercord", in the summer of 1994 the company Coconut released the album "Completely Remixed", on which the astonished listeners found the old hits "Bad Boys Blue" changed beyond recognition.

The band tours a lot, even performing in exotic countries like South Africa. By the way, they are very popular there - and fortunately, not only because the group includes musicians with different skin colors. One of the albums "Bad Boys Blue" went platinum in South Africa. Once, when "Bad Boys Blue" acted as an opening act for a-ha, an extremely unpleasant incident happened for the management of the Norwegians: most of the audience left the hall after the performance of "Bad Boys Blue".

In early 1995, Mo Russell (Irmo Russel Ringeling), who was born on March 15, 1956 on the island of Aruba in the Caribbean, joined the group. Mo is a fine actor; he has been living in Germany for about ten years now, and has known John and Andy for about the same time. It was at their insistence that he changed the theatrical stage to the musical stage; but even now the theater remains his favorite hobby.

June 25, 1995 "Bad Boys Blue" (together with the Italian techno project "Capella") performed in Kyiv, at a concert dedicated to the Day of Ukrainian Youth. The concert, which brought together several tens of thousands of Kyivans, was held on the Singing Field on the banks of the Dnieper. The concert was free for the audience; "Bad Boys Blue" were invited to it by the management of the international festival "Tavria Games".

In July 1995, Bad Boys Blue released the single "Hold you in my arms".

In August 1995, a film crew from the Yekaterinburg studio BBF and Channel 4, headed by Kirill Kotelnikov, visited Cologne, filming a 45-minute film about Bad Boys Blue.

On September 22 and 23 "Bad Boys Blue" gave two concerts in the best Moscow night club - "Utopia". The concerts were a huge success: despite the very high cost of tickets, the club was full.

At the end of 1995, a new album was scheduled to be released, on which such famous personalities as Enrico Zabler from the group "Masterboy" and Nosie Katzman, the author of most of the hits of the "Culture Beat" group, worked. However, due to the desire of the band to produce the album with the highest quality (it was decided to use multi-dimensional graphics), the release of the album was repeatedly postponed.

In March 1996 "Bad Boys Blue" successfully performed in such cities as Irkutsk, Vladimir, Moscow and St. Petersburg.

In early May 1996, "Bad Boys Blue" performed in Yekaterinburg, at the fifth anniversary of Channel 4. At the same time, in one of the ... pre-trial detention centers in Yekaterinburg, they shot a video for the new single - "Anywhere".

In June 1996, the Bad Boys Blue album "Bang! Bang! Bang!" was released.

During a tour of Russia in June 1996, "Bad Boys Blue" performed at the Moscow club "Metelitsa", as well as in Volgograd, Kirov and Alma-Ata.

In September 1996 "Bad Boys Blue" performed at the State Central Concert Hall "Russia"; Moscow disco club "Utopia" and Saratov club "Rotonda".

In June 1997, "Bad Boys Blue" - together with Thomas Anders, the Austrian trio "Joy" and the group "Boney M" - performed at the "Disco Stars" festival in Gorky Park.

In 1998, when disco melodies of the eighties gained popularity again in Europe, the group released - together with rapper Eric Singleton, known for his collaboration with the duet "Modern Talking" - a remix of "You" re a woman "98". The video for this song was filmed in England. Then the album "Back!" Was released.

In 1999, their album "Continued" was released, which included both completely new songs and remixes of their hits from 90-93.

End of 1999 - new album "Follow The Light". There are also new songs as well as old ones.

In August 2003, the long-awaited Bad Boys Blue album "Around The World" was finally released. The good news is that this album does not contain boring and not always successful remixes of old hits. Opinions about the success of "Around The World" are divided, but no one is indifferent). In turn, I want to highlight the slow-movies Babe, Only One Breath Away, Haven Or Hell (with vocals by Andrew), as well as Baby Come Home, Cold As Ice, and of course the original Lover On The Line, Join The Bad Boys Blue and Think About you.

In the meantime, work is already underway on a new album in 2004.

Bad Boys Blue remain one of the few (if not the only) disco bands of the 80s with a large number of fans in the post-Soviet space that have been delighting their fans with new albums and live performances for 20 years (!!!).

In June 1997, Bad Boys Blue - together with Thomas Anders, the Austrian trio Joy and the group Boney M - performed at the Disco Stars festival in Gorky Park.
In early 2000, the third member of the group was Kevin McCoy, who had previously worked with the group (he - under the pseudonym JoJo Max - recorded rap parts on the albums "Continued" and "Follow the light", as well as on the single "Turbo Meagmix - Vol. 2").
Kevin was born in January 1971 in Virginia, USA. Since 1997, he has been married to a girl whom he met back in his school years in ... a choir! (As you can guess, his wife is also a professional singer).
In 2004, Kevin McCoy left the band and returned to the USA, which did not stop the two original members - John and Andrew - from recording the album "Around the world" with producer and composer David Brandes - the creator of the E-Rotic band and the Bros Music label.
In 2006, the health of Andrew Thomas (who was 60 at the time) deteriorated - making an active career impossible; therefore, Carlos Ferreira became a new member of the group.
On July 21, 2009, Andrew Thomas died in a hospital in Cologne. In memory of Trevor Taylor and Andrew Thomas, "Coconut Music" released in November 2009 the "Unforgettable" compilation, which included compositions with vocals by Trevor and Andrew.
Until a certain point (2005-2009) there were two groups: "Bad Boys Blue" (with John McInerney - in his version of the group) and "Real Bad Boys Blue" (with Andrew Thomas and Kevin McCoy - in the classic composition).
The death of Andrew Thomas (21.06.09), despite the fact that he left a successor, made adjustments to the fate of the ex-members of the group.

• John Mac, having received the rights to the name, continues to act as "Bad Boys Blue", all with the same version of the group;
• and Kevin McCoy, keeping classic composition(Real BBB), since November 2009 works as "Kevin McCoy ex Bad Boys Blue".
