The history of Bad
Boys Blue started in Cologne (Germany) back in 1984, when the founders of
Coconut Records - Tony Hendrik and his wife, Karin van Haaren (vel Karin
Hartmann), decided to create a new music project. They planned to look
for members of the new group in England, but finally they found them in
Cologne. The original line-up was
following: John Edward McInerney (born September 7th, 1957, Liverpool,
England), Trevor Oliver Taylor (born
January 11th, 1958, Birmingham, England, died January 19th, 2008, Cologne,
Germany) and Andrew Freddie Thomas (born May 20th, 1946, Los Angeles, USA, died
July 21st 2009, Cologne, Germany).The first single of the group called
"L.O.V.E. In My Car" was released in autumn 1984. It did very well in
the discos and clubs, but it didn't get to the charts at all. It was the first,
but also the last single track which Andrew sang lead on, cause producers wanted
Trevor Taylor to sing the lead vocal in other tracks.In spring 1985 was released the single
"You're A Woman", which became very popular in Europe. The track
which was sang by Trevor appeared in many european charts -
Switzerland #2, Sweden #2 and Germany #8. In summer 1985 was released the debut
album called "Hot Girls - Bad Boys" (Switzerland #9). The next single
released from the album was "Pretty Young Girl" which did very well
in the charts too - Sweden #9, Germany #29 and Switzerland #30.1986 brought
another two hit-singles: "Kisses And Tears (My One And Only)"
(Germany #22, Switzerland #26) and "I Wana Hear Your Heartbeat (Sunday
Girl)" (Germany #14, Switzerland #21). The both singles promoted the
second album called "Heartbeat", which except typical BBB tracks
contained two covers: "Love Really Hurts Without You" (originally
performed by Billy Ocean) and
"Baby I Love You" (originally performed by Phil Spector). The first of them was even released as
the next single, but it didn't achieve the success. In September 2011 John has made the decision to finish
working with Carlos.In October 2011 the group was joined by Kenny
"Krayzee" Lewis, known from collaboration with C.C.Catch, Touché and
Mark 'Oh.Late in the year 2011 John has made the decision to finish
working with "Krayzee".Listen song here:YouTube
