THE SONG THEY BURIED AFTER THE BREAKUP — 38 YEARS LATER BONEY M.’S LOST 1987 MASTERPIECE ESCAPES THE VAULT
For decades, fans believed the final chapter of Boney M. had long been written — sealed in silence after the group’s painful breakup in the mid-1980s. But music has a way of keeping truth alive, even when memories fade. And now, after 38 long years, a hidden 1987 recording has emerged from deep inside an old studio vault… a track the group quietly buried during one of the most difficult seasons of their lives.
The moment the tape begins, one thing becomes clear:
This is not just a song.
This is a miracle.
Recorded in a small European studio as the group attempted one last session together, the track captures Liz Mitchell, Bobby Farrell, Marcia Barrett, and Maizie Williams blending their voices in a way that feels both fragile and triumphant. They were no longer the global sensation topping charts — they were four people standing at the crossroads, singing for the sake of memory, healing, and the rhythm that once united them.
And the result is breathtaking.
The opening harmony sends instant goosebumps down the listener’s spine. Liz’s soulful voice rises first, filled with warmth that defies time. Bobby’s unmistakable energy bursts in with that electric spark only he could deliver. Marcia’s rich lower tones weave through the melody like a steady heartbeat. And Maizie’s spoken lines return with all the charm and presence that made her a pillar of the group’s identity.
Despite the tension surrounding the group at the time, the recording glows with sincerity. You can hear the ache of goodbye, the tenderness of old friendships, and the glittering traces of the disco magic that once reshaped the world.
Those who have heard the newly restored track describe moments that stop the heart:
— Bobby humming softly behind Liz’s verse
— Marcia’s harmony lifting the melody like a gentle blessing
— Maizie laughing as she enters her line
— All four voices joining at the end as if refusing to let go
It is emotional.
It is nostalgic.
It is alive.
The discovery was made by an engineer sorting through forgotten tapes. A small box marked “Session B — 1987” held the reel no one expected to find. When he played it, he immediately realized he had uncovered something historic: the last true moment the original voices of Boney M. ever recorded together.
Now, with two members no longer here, the song feels almost spiritual. Fans describe it as a reunion from beyond, a moment when voices return not as memories but as living echoes from a brighter time.
One longtime fan wrote:
“It felt like 1978 again. Like they stepped out of the light for one more dance.”
Another shared:
“The rhythm… it still beats. It still moves the soul.”
And that is the heart of this rediscovered masterpiece:
Their rhythm beats be
