I'm now 75 years old. Long long ago the first time I listened this Full Album was in 1979. After 43 years it has the same Magic. Still how many more years it will go like this? Well I'may be in The up above the world so high and I will listen this from there. Long live Boney M

This proves that the Word of God never gets old. The Word of God is a Living Word. Even in the next thousands of years, it'll still be new and fresh in our ears. I love you Lord 😭😭😭 Psalm 137

How amazing is that Boney M can turn a well known Bible story into a hit disco song. They are indirectly preaching the Gospel. Amen!
