This is such a LOVELY interview! So nice to hear things from her point of view as well as her history. More of that please!

She looks stunning there thing about her is she tells it how it is sort of outspoken and I kinda like that , she looks very young here and its not that long ago ,circa 1997.8/9 best song from Survival is its not over , and I don't know why .but one thing Marcia is was unofficial single you made it typical boney m!!!!! Liz went because she was sick of the hassle . but back to the interview wonderful hearing her talk so honest. wonderful.

I'm so proud of Marcia especially her frankness about growing up in Jamaica (my home country) and being poor. She mentioned that even though one maybe poor, it's AMBITION that will that will take you further. Sometime that was and still is being taught in Jamaica. Continue to be a fighter, a singer and a true Jamaican!!!

I wish good luck to you Mrs. Barret, I'm happy to the fact that you are living proof that it is posible to beat cancer. I'm one of the millions that you bring happiness with your work and talent in Boney M.

In my opinion Boney M is not a single person act. Boney M is Marcia Barret, Frank Farian, Bobby Farrel, Liz Mitchel and Maize Williams (in alphabetical order); not to see anymore, because Mr. Farrel already make his last act.

thanks for upload,Marcia was the best!!

Thanks so much for this upload. I love her, she looks like happy jolly person. Very strong making it out of not 1 but 2 cancers. All of Boney M. members like this. They might have had troubles but they maybe brillant music.

Liz was the leading vocalist for the boney m in fact she did the best

[aloha808]

Marcia is such a lovely lady , and so down to earth! I wish she had recorded more vocals for Boney M. 'Take The Heat Off Me' and 'Belfast' are some of my favorite songs from them.

It's wonderful to know she had survived cancer. I like the fact she is not bitter about Bobby and Maisie touring with their "Boney Ms". Liz Mitchell seemed more upset about it in her interview for the Irish TV.

Thank you Marcia and The Very Best Of Luck To You!
