This is a fantastic video of Boney M. performing Daddy Cool on Musikladen, a popular German TV music show in September 1976. This video started the success of Boney M. as once people saw this performance, Daddy Cool became a number 1 single in West Germany and the companion album Take The Heat Off Me also made number 1. whereas when the single and album came out originally in April of that year nothing happened chart wise. Then every discotheque in town wanted to have Boney M, thus ensuring everyone knew about Boney M. resulting in this TV appearance
What is really great about this video is the ad lib parts done by the Girls - it shows they really thought through the performance on stage, and when Bobby takes off his jacket that really helps add to the show! All in all it shows Boney M. had a fantastic stage presence and made great music.
