Boney M. | Children of Paradise (1980)
"Children of Paradise" is a 1980 single by German band Boney M.
1980-09-12 19:00:00 - Boney M
Intended to be the first single from the group's fifth album Boonoonoonoos (originally scheduled for a November 1980 release), the single was ultimately never included because the album release was delayed for one year.
"Children of Paradise" peaked at #11 in the German charts whereas it became the group's lowest placing in the UK at #66 only when released in February '81.
Boney M. would use the double A-side format in this period, typically with the A1 being the song intended for radio and A2 being more squarely aimed at discos.
The sides would usually be switched on the accompanying 12" single.
