Although they lived near Hamburg, Germany since 1981, they had actually met when they were at school in London. They were formed in 1986 as a vehicle for songwriter and producer - Ralf-René Maué. Their musical style was catchy and highly infectious Eurobeat dance music combined with choreography acquired during their experience as Rollerblade dancers prior to forming London Boys. Consequently their early releases were marketed towards the Eurodisco scene.
They are remembered mainly for singles from their classic 1989 album The Twelve Commandments Of Dance, which peaked at No.2 on the UK charts. Most notable of these songs were London Nights, which peaked at No.2, and Requiem, which reached No.4 and was their breakthrough chart entry in April 1989. Another single, a remixed version of their 1987 release Harlem Desire, reached No.17.
Their second album "Sweet Soul Music" was released in 1991 and the 3rd album "Love 4 Unity" in 1993. The 4th album "Hallelujah Hits" was released in 1995. This album was relased under the name of "The New London Boys" and it was a combination of religious music and eurobeat dance music.

London Boys Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Give a little love - and don't make me cry
Give a little love - if you lose the motion
Give a little love - with you it's goodbye
Give a little love - the plane that is leaving
Give a little love - our hearts on the ground
Give a little love - where music is leading
Give a little love - the lost and the found.
We're like averybody else who live to guide us
If there's hope and love across the nation
Everybody find a recreation.
London nights - when the party's out and the fever drives you
London nights - when the party's out and the fever drives you
London nights - when the party's out and the fever drives you wild.
When the party's out and the fever drives you.
I wanna get up tonight
I wanna keep on loving you
I got a feeling that's right
I wanna give you all my love for you.
Give a little love - I walk through the city
Give a little love - there's food in the air
Give a little love - hello
Piccadilly
Give a little love - the wind in my hair
Give a little love - the beat of tomorrow
Give a little love - from Rome to L.A.
Give a little love - just move a bit closer
Give a little love - d'you hear what I say ?
We let live and let love live beside us
We're like averybody else who live to guide us
If there's hope and love across the nation
Everybody find a recreation.
London nights - when the party's out and the fever drives you
London nights - when the party's out and the fever drives you
London nights - when the party's out and the fever drives you wild.
When the party's out and the fever drives you.
I wanna get up tonight
I wanna keep on loving you
I got a feeling that's right
I wanna give you all my love for you.
If there's hope and love across the nation
Everybody find a recreation.
London nights - when the party's out and the fever drives you
...
London nights - when the party's out and the fever drives you

Такой бодрой силы уже не у кого не будет, как они танцевали красиво какой адреналин, они выкладывали в свои танцы всю свою душу. А как пели, какие песни писали нет не одной плохой, поют и вкладывают сердце в каждую песню, такой супер группы уже не найти. А London Boys вечная память вам, жаль что вас нет с нами, спасибо вам за то что вы сделали, подарили такие хиты которые не смогут надоесть никогда. 💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐

I was only a kid when I first heard the London boys, my mum had the album and even now all these years later I love dancing around to London nights and requiem, amazing timeless songs, tragic they died so young and in awful circumstances, you made a huge impact and will live on through your music ♥

@Lucinda Miao I was a kid in the 80s and wasn't into pop, was strictly into house music and hip hop, but I loved London Boys. I just thought about them now so searched for them. Sad they're gone I didn't know that.
