Wonderland Burlesque's
The Twelve Days Before Xmas
Day Three:
Mary's Boy Child/Oh, My Lord by Boney M
Three until the big day. Are you ready?
Well, it doesn't have to be all hustle and bustle...
Take time to climb back into the Wonderland Burlesque time machine and countdown to the big day. This holiday season, the dial is set for the 1970's!
Oh, you are in for a treat, so grab a seat and buckle up.
The seventies was a decade of change, turbulence and sweetness. Nowhere is this more felt than in the breadth and depth of the music of the time. There were so many different genres being developed, evolving and seeking validation on the radio and the industry music charts, it was a virtual musical cornucopia.
So, get ready for another song of the season by one of our biggest (and not so big) stars, here, stateside, and across the pond, who made the seventies truly magical.
Next up... the song which inspired this jaunt into the vault of 1970's treasures, it's the dazzling Boney M with their UK #1, Mary's Boy Child/Oh, My Lord from 1978.
The song was a Top 10 hit throughout Europe, and went to #1 in, not only the UK, but Sweden, Switzerland, and Germany, as well. In the US, the track reached #85 on the Billboard Hot 100. It was to be Boney M's final of four singles to chart there.
Jubilant, with a scrubbed reggae beat and pitch-perfect crystalline vocals, Mary's Boy Child/Oh My Lord is sure to remind all the real reason for the season while setting toes 'a tapping!
