Their Most Beautiful Ballads

Of course Boney M were masters of dance in the late 1970's and early 1980's, but they did have some hits with ballads too. This collection includes the hits El Lute, Neil Young's Heart of Gold, Little Drummer Boy, Mary's Boy Child, I See A Boat On The River and of course their massive hit Rivers of Babylon (Originally done by The Melodians). But it's not really representative of their best music which included red-hot rabble rousing dancefloor sizzlers like Brown Girl In The Ring, Daddy Cool, Belfast and Ma Baker. To get all their best work together, I recommend The Greatest Hits album. Still, this collection is pleasant enough as an enjoyable memento of 70's/80's Europop in the Abba vein.
