Biography

Bad Boys Blue (Russian: Bad Boys in Blue) is a German Eurodisco group from Cologne, which over its more than twenty-year history has released about 27 hit singles that hit the charts in many countries around the world, including in the USA .
The group BAD BOYS BLUE arose in the summer of 1984 in Cologne (Germany) after the authors and producers Tony Hendrick and Karin Hartmann, who own the independent record label Coconut Records, began looking for performers to record the single L.O.V.E. In My Car.
Especially for this song they decided to initiate a completely new project. Initially, the search for performers was carried out in London, but then one of their acquaintances recommended to the producers the candidacy of US-born Andrew Thomas, a musician and DJ living in Cologne. Andrew, in turn, introduced the producers to Trevor Taylor, and Trevor brought John McInerney into the group.
Initially they wanted to call the group Bad Guys, then they settled on BAD BOYS BLUE, the word Blue appeared because at that time the musicians performed in blue stage costumes. It is worth noting that all members of the group were and remain adherents of the “normal” sexual orientation, and the free translation of “Bad Blue Boys” has nothing to do with the real state of affairs. The English word blue does not have the additional meaning of “having a non-traditional sexual orientation,” but it does have the additional meaning of “sad.” And the word bad in the slang of American blacks means “cool”, “excellent”; thus, Bad Boys in this case can be translated as “Cool guys.”
Debut single L.O.V.E. The group released In My Car in September 1984. Lead vocals were provided by Andrew Thomas. The album enjoyed some success, but did not enter the charts.
Real success for the trio came only in the spring of 1985, when the next single You're A Woman created a real sensation in many European countries, instantly becoming one of the top ten songs. In Germany, the single took 8th place and remained in the German Top 20 for almost four months.
The same year, Hot Girls' first album, Bad Boys, was released. On it, the lead vocals on most songs (except for "L.O.V.E. In My Car") belonged to Trevor Taylor.
Almost immediately after the release of their debut album, BAD BOYS BLUE received the status of a cult band throughout the entire former Soviet Union along with another German group Modern Talking.
In 1987, during the recording of the single Come Back And Stay, the producers decided to change the lead vocalist to John McInerney. From then on, John's distinctive vocals became business card BAD BOYS BLUE. The changes led to problems within the group, as a result of which Trevor Taylor left the band in 1989 to pursue a solo career. A replacement was found in the person of another Trevor - Trevor Bannister.
In 1991, BAD BOYS BLUE, together with other popular German and Italian Eurodisco performers, took part in charity concert as part of the charity event "Children of Chernobyl - Our Children".
The favorable period for BAD BOYS BLUE lasted until the early 90s of the last century. After the chart success of the single Save Your Love (the single managed to reach #81 on the chart of the prestigious American music magazine Billboard), in 1992 the musicians decided to change the record label and switched to a division of the EMI music concern - Intercord. However, this time the second Trevor also left the group.
In 1993, BBB toured Africa with singer Owen Standing, who never became an official member of the group until BBB's ex-label, Coconut Records, offered him a solo contract.
As a duo, Andrew Thomas and John McInerney recorded and released their first album on Intercord with new authors and producers, including Rico Novarini and Luke Skywalker, members of the popular Eurodance group Masterboy.
A disc called To Blue Horizons was released in 1994. But neither he nor the subsequent album Bang! Bang! Bang!, recorded on Intercord, were unable to repeat the band's previous success.
In 1998, in the wake of the success of the united Modern Talking, producers Tony Hendrick and Karin Hartmann released the single “You"re A Woman"98, which suddenly entered the charts of some European countries. This prompted BAD BOYS BLUE, who were joined by new member Mo Russel in 1995, to return to Coconut.
The contract with Coconut lasted until 2001. During this time, BAD BOYS BLUE managed to release four albums and replace Mo Russell with another musician, Kevin McCoy. Unfortunately, the producers of Coconut did not want to extend their collaboration with the group. As a result, until the summer of 2002, BAD BOYS BLUE were forced to focus on touring and searching for a new record label.
Then the famous Eurodance producer David Brandes (E-rotic, Xanadu, Fancy, Missing Heart, Vanilla Ninja, Gracia), who already had experience collaborating with BAD BOYS BLUE while working on the albums Back (1998) and.. Continued (1999) invited the group to move under the wing of his small independent company Bros Music.
The result of fruitful collaboration was the latest album, Around The World (2003). Brandes planned to start working on new songs for the group, which again turned into a duo (Kevin McCoy left the band in January 2003), but after his project - the Estonian female rock quartet Vanilla Ninja suddenly became very popular in many European countries, he lost interest in BAD BOYS BLUE.
During this time, tensions between John McInerney and Andrew Thomas led to Andrew Thomas leaving the band in January 2005.
In March 2006, a new member joined the group - Carlos Ferreira. On April 21, 2006, on the Polish television channel (TVP 2) in the program "Pytanie na śniadanie" the remix of "You"re A Woman"2006" premiered. A single under this name was planned for release in the summer of 2006, but for a number of reasons it never came out. The main reason was that the remix made by the Polish musician and DJ had practically nothing in common with the original.
Since 2007, McInerney and Ferreira have been working together with the new author-producing team MS Project. This is a duo of electronic musicians formed by Antoine Blanc and Johann Perrier in Paris at the end of 2001. Before collaborating with the team, they were producing their own works and the works of other performers. The result of collaboration with Bad Boys Blue was the album Heart & Soul, which was released in mid-June 2008 in almost twenty countries, including Russia (initially, the distributor Nikitin released a “lighter” version of 14 tracks instead of 17 and with simplified, different from the original booklet design, and with terrible recording quality). Heart & Soul is in many ways a dedication to Russia and is imbued with McInerney’s special love for our country; it is no coincidence that two compositions are connected with Russia - one of them is “Russia In My Eyes”, and the other is based on a cover version of “Those Were The Days” lies the classic chanson composition “The Long Road”. The album's release was preceded by the release of the single "Still In Love", which was initially intended to be digital.
On June 19, 2009, Coconut Music/Sony Music released a special remix album called Rarities Remixed. The album contains modern remixes of some hit singles and album tracks.
On October 30, 2009, Coconut Music/Sony Music BMG released a special compilation album entitled "Unforgettable", dedicated to the deceased original members of Bad Boys Blue, Trevor Taylor and Andrew Thomas.
On August 13, 2010, a single was released entitled “Come Back And Stay Re-Recorded 2010”, including remixes produced by MS Project, Alex Twister, Spinnin Elements & Almighty.. On August 27, 2010, an anniversary album entitled “25” was released (25 re-recorded hits, 7 brand new remixes + bonus DVD).
In September 2011, John McInerney decided to end his work with Carlos Ferreira.
In October 2011, Kenny "Krayzee" Lewis, known for his work with C.C. Catch, Touché and Mark 'Oh, joined the group.
At the end of 2011, John McInerney decided to end his work with Kenny "Krayzee" Lewis.
On September 21, 2012, Coconut Music released a DVD entitled "Live On TV".
In December 2013, Bad Boys Blue announced on their Facebook page that they were working on a new album. Some of the songs have already been completed and the rest will be completed by January/February 2014. Some of the songwriters are Pavel Marciniak, Matthias Kanerstam and Johann Perrier.
On December 19, 2013, the Moscow Arbitration Court ruled against a company illegally using the name "Bad Boys Blue" when organizing performances by a musical group consisting of unidentified persons, thereby confirming that John McInerney is the only member of the original line-up of the group "Bad Boys Blue" "

The group Bad Boys Blue was formed at the end of 1984 in the German city of Cologne. Its three participants were very different from each other - in education, musical preferences and hobbies. About the name of the group: 1) It was all invented by Uncle Andrew, who is from somewhere in California. And in the States, among black teenagers, the adjective “bad” has the opposite meaning - that is, if one guy says to another “you’re so bad!”, what it really means is “You’re cool, buddy!”. 2) More there was an idea to somehow connect the name with Al Capone and the mafia wars of the thirties. Therefore, at first they came up with “bad guys”. Then they decided that this was too harsh, and changed “guys” to “boys”. 3) Now about the adjective “blue” If in Russian “blue” means the actual color and sexual orientation, then in English it means the color “sad, lonely,” etc. If you remember the covers of the first two albums, the accompanying singles and early videos - they always performed and were photographed in blue. 4) Well, I just liked three cute words starting with the same letter. John McInerney (John Edward McInerney) was born on September 7, 1957 in Liverpool. His mother Agnes died when John was four half a year old. John and his brother, who was then three years old, were raised by their grandmother. At the age of 15, John played in the youth team of a local football club, but he did not become a professional football player. After school, John worked as a stockbroker and moved to Germany in 1979. There he had to change his profession and try himself as a decorator. John is a big fan of Guinness beer, which is why his friends nickname him “Mister McGuinness.” He owns several pubs in Cologne; John purchased the last one in March 1996, and got a lot of pleasure from the repairs he carried out himself. In 1985, at one of the Bad Boys Blue concerts, John met a charming blonde named Yvonne. The girl didn't like the group at all, but... After a while she became John's wife. And on February 20, 1989, at 12.55, their son, Ryan Nathan, was born. In 92, John had a second son, Wayne. Trevor Oliver Taylor was born on January 11, 1958 in Montego Bay, on the island of Jamaica. When he was 14 years old, Trevor's parents moved from Jamaica to Europe. Trevor is a typical rasta-man; until 1984 he played with Eddie Grant and the group UB 40. His idol is Bob Marley. Hobbies are football and cooking. Moreover, the latter “hobby” was the main source of income for some time: in 1978, Trevor worked as a chef at the Holiday Inn restaurant in Birmingham, and then at the Stummel restaurant in Cologne. The third member of the group is Andrew Thomas (Freddy Andrew Thomas). He was born on May 20, 1946 in Los Angeles. He has one brother and five sisters. Andy's father was a gospel singer. Before you start musical career Andy studied psychology and philosophy and planned to become a teacher. He loves to travel and says he feels best in Asia. In 1968, Andy came to London and worked for some time at the US Embassy there. One day he went to the German city of Aachen to visit a friend, and met a girl who lived in Cologne at that time. Then Andy "accidentally" moved to Cologne... Now he is still unmarried, in search of something special. However, according to intelligence data, somewhere he has a daughter growing up, who is already five years old. While still in London, Andy began to sing - with the help of Eddie Grant. True, the music he performed then was very different from the disco rhythms of “Bad Boys Blue”: Andy performed mainly blues compositions. At the end of 1984, the trio released their first single, “L.O.V.E. In My Car,” and at the beginning of 1985, “You”re A Woman.” In the same 1985, their first album, “Hot Girls - Bad Boys,” was released on Coconut. "Bad Boys Blue" perform a lot in various discos and on TV shows. 1986: album "Heartbeat". On it, like on the group's first album, most of the compositions were performed by Trevor Taylor, some by Andy. John McInerney on the first two albums only sang along. In 1987, the group released the single “Come back and stay"; this song, which was played in all European discos, was performed by John McInerney. On the 1987 album “Love is no crime” the voices of all three members of the group were already heard. 1988 year: album "My Blue World". In the summer of 1989, the group released the album "Bad Boys Best" - a collection of their best songs, which also included the new single "Hungry For Love". At the same time, changes were taking place in the group: Trevor Taylor left, accepting the changes in the group's sound and still faithful to the reggae style, and in his place appears... another Trevor - this time with the last name Bannister. Trevor Bannister was born in 1965 (64?) in the English town of Grembsby. Unfortunately, there was very little information about him. Trevor Taylor tried acting in films after leaving Bad Boys Blue; he now owns a store in Cologne where he sells only his favorite reggae records. In 1989, the group released the album "The fifth". The most famous songs from this album are "Lady In Black" and "A Train To Nowhere". 1990: album "Game of love". In May 1991, Bad Boys Blue performed in the USSR for the first time. The group took part in the grandiose charity festival “Children of Chernobyl - Our Children”. The organizers of the concerts, held from May 31 to June 2 at the Olimpiysky sports complex, were Peter Muller (father of the notorious singer S. C. Catch) and Hamburg entrepreneur Gerhard Klöpper. In addition to "Bad Boys Blue", Dieter Bohlen, C.C. Catch, Den Harrow and many other dance music performers performed at the festival. In November 1991, "Bad Boys Blue" released their seventh album, "House Of Silence", and in December they came to Moscow again. The group took part in the filming of the TV show "BRAVO-91". Obviously, the fifteen-degree frost didn’t matter to them: John walked around in jeans with huge holes in the knees. In July 1992, Bad Boys Blue performed in Tallinn at the Rock Summer festival. Autumn 1992: album "Totally" (with such hits as "I Totally Miss You" and "A love like this"). In 1993, Bad Boys Blue released their ninth album, Kiss, half of which consisted of their old hits. After which they said goodbye to the Coconut company, and literally a couple of months later they released a new single “Go Go (Love overload)” on the Intercord company. But with a new lineup: obviously, the Trevors didn’t fit in with the group, and “Bad Boys Blue” turned from a trio into a duet. The video for this song was filmed in the Norwegian capital Oslo. In the spring of 1994, their first album, entitled “To Blue Horizons,” was released on Intercord. In addition to the previously recorded single "Go Go", this album included songs such as "Luv 4 U" and "What Else?". Despite the fact that "Bad Boys Blue" switched to Intercord, in the summer of 1994 Coconut released the album "Completely Remixed", on which amazed listeners discovered the old hits "Bad Boys Blue" changed beyond recognition. The group tours a lot, performing even in such exotic countries as South Africa. By the way, they are very popular there - and fortunately, not only because the group includes musicians of different skin colors. One of the albums, "Bad Boys Blue", went platinum in South Africa. Once, when "Bad Boys Blue" performed as a warm-up band for a-ha, an extremely unpleasant incident for the Norwegian management occurred: most of the audience left the hall after the "Bad Boys Blue" performance. In early 1995, Mo Russell (Irmo Russel Ringeling), born March 15, 1956 on the island of Aruba in the Caribbean, joined the group. Mo is a wonderful actor; he has lived in Germany for about ten years, and has known John and Andy for about the same amount of time. It was at their insistence that he changed the theatrical stage to the musical stage; but even now the theater remains his favorite hobby. On June 25, 1995, "Bad Boys Blue" (together with the Italian techno project "Capella") performed in Kyiv at a concert dedicated to the Day of Ukrainian Youth. The concert, which attracted several tens of thousands of Kiev residents, took place on the Singing Field on the banks of the Dnieper. The concert was free for spectators; "Bad Boys Blue" were invited to it by the management of the international festival "Tavria Games". In July 1995, Bad Boys Blue released the single "Hold you in my arms". In August 1995, a film crew from the Yekaterinburg studio BBF and Channel 4, led by Kirill Kotelnikov, visited Cologne, filming a 45-minute film about Bad Boys Blue. On September 22 and 23, "Bad Boys Blue" gave two concerts at the best Moscow nightclub - "Utopia". The concerts were a huge success: despite the very high cost of tickets, the club was full. At the end of 1995, a new album was planned to be released, on which such famous personalities, like Enrico Zabler from the group "Masterboy" and Nosie Katzman, the author of most of the hits of the group "Culture Beat". However, due to the group's desire to design the album in the best possible way (it was decided to use multi-dimensional graphics), the album's release was repeatedly postponed. In March 1996, "Bad Boys Blue" successfully performed in cities such as Irkutsk, Vladimir, Moscow and St. Petersburg. At the beginning of May 1996, "Bad Boys Blue" performed in Yekaterinburg, at the fifth anniversary of Channel 4. Then, in one of the... pre-trial detention centers in Yekaterinburg, they shot a video for the new single - "Anywhere". In June 1996, the Bad Boys Blue album "Bang! Bang! Bang!" was released. During a tour of Russia in June 1996, Bad Boys Blue performed at the Moscow club Metelitsa, as well as in Volgograd, Kirov and Alma-Ata. In September 1996, "Bad Boys Blue" performed at the State Central Concert Hall "Russia"; Moscow disco club "Utopia" and Saratov club "Rotunda". In June 1997, "Bad Boys Blue" - together with Thomas Anders, the Austrian trio "Joy" and the group "Boney M" - performed at the "Disco Stars" festival in Gorky Park. In 1998, when the disco tunes of the eighties again gained popularity in Europe, the group released - together with rapper Eric Singleton, known for his collaboration with the duo "Modern Talking" - a remix of "You"re a woman "98". The video for this song was filmed in England. Then the album "Back!" was released. In 1999, their album “Continued” was released, which included both completely new songs and remixes of their hits from 90-93. End of 1999 - new album "Follow The Light". There are also both new songs and old ones. In August 2003, the long-awaited Bad Boys Blue album, "Around The World", was finally released. The good news is that this album does not contain boring and not always successful remixes of old hits. Opinions about the success of "Around The World" are divided, but no one is indifferent). In turn, I would like to especially mention the slow tracks Babe, Only One Breath Away, Haven Or Hell (with Andrew's vocals), as well as Baby Come Home, Cold As Ice, and of course the original Lover On The Line, Join The Bad Boys Blue and Think About You. Meanwhile, already work in progress on a new album in 2004. Bad Boys Blue remain one of the few (if not the only) disco groups of the 80s with a large number of fans in the post-Soviet space, who have been delighting their fans with new albums and concert performances for 20 years (!!!). I bring to your attention the complete discography of the popular group Bad Boys Blue.

Created in Cologne, Germany, the British group Bad Boys Blue won resounding success in the spring of 1985 with the release of the single “You’re A Woman.”

The single "You're A Woman", released by Bad Boys Blue in the spring of 1985, created a real sensation in many European countries, instantly becoming one of the top ten best songs on the continent.

Bad Boys Blue - You're A Woman

A Eurodisco group formed in Cologne in 1984, which during its history has released about 30 hit singles that hit the charts in many countries around the world, including the USA. The group is based in the UK.

The group "Bad Boys Blue" arose in the summer of 1984 in Cologne (Germany) after the authors and producers Tony Hendrik and Karen van Haaren/Karin Hartmann, who own an independent record label “Coconut Records”, began to look for artists to record the single “L.O.V.E. In My Car. They decided to start a completely new project especially for this song.

Initially, the search for performers was carried out in London, but then one of their acquaintances recommended to the producers the candidacy of a native of the United States, Andrew Thomas (born May 20, 1946, Los Angeles, USA), a musician and DJ living in Cologne. Andrew, in turn, introduced the producers to Trevor Taylor (born January 11, 1958, Montego Bay, Jamaica), and Trevor brought John McInerney (born September 7, 1957, Liverpool, England) into the group.

At first they wanted to call the group “Bad Guys”, then “Bad Boys”, but settled on “Bad Boys Blue”, since the musicians performed in blue stage costumes. Wherein all group members adhered to traditional sexual orientation, and the translation of the title “Bad Blue Boys” has nothing to do with reality. The word “blue” does not mean “having a non-traditional sexual orientation”, and the word “bad” in slang means “cool”, “excellent”; Thus, "Bad Boys Blue" can be translated as "tough guys in blue".

Bad Boys Blue - Pretty Young Girl

Debut single “L.O.V.E.” In My Car" the group released in September 1984. Lead vocals were provided by Andrew Thomas. The album enjoyed some success in discos and clubs, but did not enter the charts.

Bad Boys Blue - I Wanna Hear Yours

In 1987, during the recording of the single "Come Back And Stay", the producers decided to change the lead vocalist to John McInerney. This was the first composition in which John and Lian Lee sang most of the songs. From then on, John's distinctive vocals became the hallmark of Bad Boys Blue.

The German band Bad Boys Blue was formed in 1984. The first single “L.O.V.E.” In My Car" became a hit at discos, the second - "You're A Woman" - thundered throughout the world, topping the European charts; in Germany it remained in the TOP 20 for four months.
The group “Bad Boys Blue” - its three members were very different from each other - in education, musical preferences and hobbies.
John McInerney born 7 September 1957 in Liverpool. At the age of 15, John played in the youth team of a local football club, but he did not become a professional football player. After school, John worked as a stockbroker and moved to Germany in 1979. There he had to change his profession and try himself as a decorator.
In 1985, at one of the Bad Boys Blue concerts, John met a charming blonde named Yvonne. The girl didn't like the group at all, but... After a while she became John's wife. And on February 20, 1989, their son, Ryan Nathan, was born. In 1992, John had a second son, Wayne.

At the end of 1984, the trio released their first single, “L.O.V.E.” In My Car", and in early 1985 - "You're A Woman". In the same 1985, their first album, “Hot Girls - Bad Boys,” was released on Coconut.
“Bad Boys Blue” perform a lot in various discos and on TV shows.

1986: album “Heartbeat”. On it, as on the group’s first album, most of the compositions were performed by Trevor Taylor, some by Andy. John McInerney only sang along on the first two albums.

In 1987, the group released the single “Come back and stay”; This song, which was heard in all European discos, was performed by John McInerney. The 1987 album “Love is no crime” already featured the voices of all three band members.

In November 1991, Bad Boys Blue released their seventh album, House Of Silence, and in December they came to Moscow again.
The group took part in the filming of the TV show “BRAVO-91”. Obviously, the fifteen-degree frost was nothing to them: John walked around in jeans with huge holes in his knees... And the staff of the Mezhdunarodnaya Hotel remembered the visit of “Bad Boys Blue” because the artists decided to draw with a marker on the walls of their rooms...
The group tours a lot, performing even in such exotic countries as South Africa.
On September 22 and 23, 1995, Bad Boys Blue gave two concerts in the best Moscow nightclub at that time - Utopia. The concerts were a huge success: despite the very high cost of tickets ($100), the club was full.

In March 1996, Bad Boys Blue performed successfully in cities such as Irkutsk, Vladimir, Moscow and St. Petersburg.
In June 1997, Bad Boys Blue - together with Thomas Anders, the Austrian trio Joy and the group Boney M - performed at the Disco Stars festival in Gorky Park.
At the beginning of 2000, the third member of the group was Kevin McCoy, who had worked with the group before (under the pseudonym JoJo Max, he recorded rap parts on the albums “Continued” and “Follow the light”, as well as on the single “Turbo Meagmix - Vol. 2").
Kevin was born in January 1971 in Virginia, USA. Since 1997, he has been married to a girl whom he met during his school years in... choir! (As you can guess, his wife is also a professional singer).
In 2004, Kevin McCoy left the group and returned to the United States, which did not prevent two original members - John and Andrew - from recording the album “Around the world” with producer and composer David Brandes, the creator of the E-Rotic group and the Bros Music label.
In 2006, Andrew Thomas's (by then 60 years old) health deteriorated, making an active career impossible; Therefore, Carlos Ferreira became the new member of the group.
On July 21, 2009, Andrew Thomas died in a hospital in Cologne. In memory of Trevor Taylor and Andrew Thomas, the Coconut Music label released the collection “Unforgettable” in November 2009, which included compositions with vocals by Trevor and Andrew.
Until a certain point (2005 -2009), there were two groups: "Bad Boys Blue" (with John McInerney - in his version of the group) and "Real Bad Boys Blue" (with Andrew Thomas and Kevin McCoy - in the classic lineup).
The death of Andrew Thomas (06/21/09), despite the fact that he left a successor, made adjustments to the fates of the ex-members of the group.

John Mac, having received the rights to the name, continues to perform as "Bad Boys Blue", still with the same version of the group's composition;
and Kevin McCoy, maintaining the classic composition (Real BBB), since November 2009. works like "Kevin McCoy ex Bad Boys Blue".
