Reggie Tsiboe

Here's an article introducing Reggie Tsiboe to Boney M in 1982, which I found in the german Magazine Der Musikmarkt, Issue Nr. 16/1982 (15. August 1982), on page 34.

Now who is this congenial new guy with Boney M.? It's not so much his movements, it's his voice and his charisma which are convincing. This new guy is an oldtimer in show biz: Reggie Tsiboe deserves being introduced here in more detail, without disregarding the all-time successful Boney M. staff Liz, Mazie and Marcia.

The 1950 born comes from Kumasi (Ghana). There his father is the publisher of the biggest daily newspaper. After his education at school in England he studied there Music and Germanistics. Piano, Guitar and Bass are the instruments he plays perfectly. That he's also able to sing very good he proved true as a cast member in the Musicals "Hair" (Berlin) and "Jesus Christ Superstar" (London).

But he is also composing and texting. So he wrote in 1977 the Hit "I'll Be There" for Love Generation. Two other Single-Titles followed: "Walk On The Sunny Side" and "Something To Be Living". Both titles were produced during a week in Munich. Then he founded the Vocal-Group Sweet Charity and produced some records at RCA. In 1977 Reggie left the company and signed another contract at another company as an Author and Interpret. As this contract ended in 1978, he didn't renew it and went back to the theatre. For six months he was at the Royal Shakespeare Company, played and sang there besides others in "Godspell" and "The Young Vic". Then in 1979 Reggie came to Hansa London. Steve Roland and Pete Bellotte produced with him for England the Single "Montego Bay". 1979/80 he sang and danced daily at the London Round House Theatre in the Show "Only America".

One of this shows was also seen by Frank Farian, who invited Reggie Tsiboe to visit his Studio in Braunfels. On the spot Reggie went to Frankfurt by plane. Originally Farian wanted to produce him as a Solo-Artist. Now he is the new one of Boney M.
