the ending isnt quite true. the bullets did not kill him. He did drink a glass of cyanide and did not die, but then he was beaten, shot a few times in the chest, wrapped in chains, and thrown into the volga river. he died of hypothermia on his way home.
Bobby always had a frightening intensity on stage and a really deep voice, he scared the shit ouf of me as a kid. This video is hilarious - Rasputin is a really silly song and Bobby's beard makes it more so. Boney M are giving it loads on stage and the audience couldn't be more dead, especially the guy down the front with the moustache.
Somebody, some people gave me this as one of my many theme songs. Great song, I remember it from when it was new. It made me want to play drums, and it does suit me in this situation. Lots of people would love to see me go down, all related to one woman, who has ‘power’ but the thing is, I am unwilling participant. I’m like **** you assholes, keep her, she is more trouble than she is worth, but the beat goes on, and on, and on.
@andrewmente maybe maybe, the cause of fall of last tsar, i guess theres a wise thought on rasputin it was just only the queen believes him, the tsar choose war indeed :(
This track is so perfect! Telling the story of Rasputin and wrting a song to be sung by 4 Black people from the Carrabean with a very catchy tune and great production. And the story they tell is quite true (although it wasn't proved he was the Empress's lover)
Boney M. is a singing vocal group created by German record producer Frank Farian. Originally based in West Germany, the four original members of the group's official line-up were Jamaicans Liz Mitchell and Marcia Barrett, Maizie Williams from Montserrat and Bobby Farrell from Aruba. The group was formed in 1975 and achieved popularity during the disco era of the late 1970s.
@jgraves1942 Do you mean how did you end up watching this fine Boney M performance on your computer? If so, you probably clicked on a link to it - possibly from another youtube video.
@stockloc - Ummm doubt it, considering this was from an age where pop music was dominated by black artists. You see many studio performances of any group/race, and you'll see the same reactions (check out top of the pops archives - talk about dead-pan)
@stockloc this was filmed in Russia. Bonney M was one of the few western artists allowed to perform there during cold war. Russian audiences generally sit still. It has nothing to do with racism. When I watch Russian concert today, the older people in the audience don't even smile much less move.
bobby sure could dance r.i.p brother , thanks for your light, in a dark world.
