From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Reggie Tsiboe (born 1950, in Ghana) was one of the lead singers of the disco group Boney M. between 1982-1986 and later between 1989-1990.

In 1982 Reggie originally replaced the dancer Bobby Farrell, but in 1984 Farrell rejoined the group and they followed as a quintet. In 1986 the original band split after 10 successful years, but 1989 Liz Mitchell and Reggie formed a new official version of Boney M. and in 1990 released with the help of the producer Frank Farian the single Stories, but a few months later both went already their separate ways.

Reggie appeared on the last 3 Boney M. albums: Ten Thousand Lightyears (1984), Kalimba de Luna - 16 Happy Songs (1984) and Eye Dance (1985) and also recorded Christmas songs with the group, which were internationally released only after the split of the band on the new Boney M. Christmas album, The 20 Greatest Christmas Songs in 1986. Reggie sings the main vocals on Boney M. hits like Kalimba de Luna; Happy Song; Going Back West; My Chérie Amour; Young, Free and Single; Dreadlock Holiday and Barbarella Fortuneteller.

On 21 September 2006 Reggie and the two other lead singers of Boney M., Liz Mitchell and Marcia Barrett were special guests in London on the premiere of the musical Daddy Cool, which is based upon the music of the famous group.
