The original trio comprised of American Andrew Thomas, British John McInerney, and Jamaican Trevor Taylor - the original lead vocalist. The debut single L.O.V.E In My Car failed to make an impression in the pop charts but the follow-up You're A Woman was a massive success, reaching the top 10 in many European countries.
Trevor Taylor provided the lead vocal for the group's early hit singles including You're A Woman and Pretty Young Girl. The 1987 single Come Back And Stay was the first to feature John McInerney on lead vocal. Although the track was originally recorded as demo with Trevor Taylor's voice, the producers subjectively chose John McInerney's version. This created tension within the group which ultimately lead to Trevor Taylor's departure. John McInerney went on to perform lead vocal on the vast majority of Bad Boys Blue's output.
The group became massively popular in Eastern Europe, with the band performing to sell-out crowds in Russia and the Ukraine. In contrast the group never charted in the UK and their only charting USA single was Save Your Love.
The group has experienced numerous line up changes. In 1988 Trevor Taylor left the group - a year after being practically demoted to backup singer - but was asked to rejoin the group the following year just for recording sessions of Hungry for Love single that was to be featured on the group's first compilation album Bad Boys Best. Trevor Taylor's departure permanently secured John McInerney's position as the band's new lead vocalist. Trevor Taylor was replaced by Trevor Bannister. Trevor Bannister left in 1993 and the remaining two members performed as a duo. Mo Russel joined the group in 1995. In 1999 Kevin McCoy (stage name JoJo Max) replaced Mo Russel by joining Bad Boys Blue fulltime after being the group's rapper since 1998, but left in early 2003 leaving Bad Boys Blue as a duo again. However, in 2006, Kevin McCoy rejoined Andrew Thomas' Bad Boys Blue line-up (see below).
In 2005 Thomas and McInerney split under less than amicable circumstances. Carlos Ferreira joined John McInerney in 2006 and new material is said to be forthcoming from this, presently Poland-based, duo. Andrew Thomas also formed a version of Bad Boys Blue with former member Kevin McCoy and singer Herb McCoy but they are not signed to any record label. The question of who gets to officially use the Bad Boys Blue brand name has not yet been resolved.

Bad Boys Blue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You turn me upside down.
And now the past has disappeared.
Since I know you're around.
So never never never break my heart.
Never leave me stranded.
So never never let us fall apart.
I give to you the best of me.
Reach out and take it all.
My love and sensuality.
My body and my soul.
So never never never break my heart.
Never leave me stranded.
So never never let us fall apart.
Don't take me for granted.
I need you. Baby more and more each day.
Don't you know'
I can't survive if you should walk away.
Sit back. How good could a Bad Boy be'
Said I'd be jealous, 'cause I get another term to meet.
You're the one for me.
It should be plain to see. Your love is not a game to me.
Love is just for those who don't have a heart.
I remember the times you were there when the days were dark.
Taking long talks and walks in the park.
So never never never break my heart.
Never leave me stranded.
So never never let us fall apart.
Don't take me for granted.
I need you. Baby more and more each day.
Don't you know'
I can't survive if you should walk away.
The lyrics to Bad Boys Blue's song "Never Never" speak of a relationship that has transformed the singer's life. The opening lines highlight the way in which the person they are addressing has made a significant impact upon them, having "changed the way I feel." They go on to suggest that this person has had a profound effect upon their world, stating that "now the past has disappeared" since they know that this person is around. The chorus reiterates the importance of not breaking the singer's heart or taking them for granted, as they offer all of their love and sensuality, body and soul to the person they are speaking to.
The lyrics continue in this vein, with the singer emphasizing the depth and importance of their feelings for this person. They need them more and more each day, and the idea of losing them is unbearable, as they cannot "survive if you should walk away." The closing lines of the song reflect on the relationship, suggesting that the person this song is addressed to is the one for them, and underlining the seriousness of their commitment to each other.
