I was born in France, on 1941 june 19; Frank Farian was born in Germay one month later, on july 18. Frank Farian (his real name is Franz Reuther Farian) certainly knew and sang Stille Nacht since his mother, like my mother, sang in the church choir. I sang it too, but in french (O sainte nuit) and as soloist in kindergarten. Later he sang with a guitar; me too. And the resemblances stop there. After having abandoned his job of cook, Farian began a career in pop music. He is known as the creator, in 1975, of the group Boney M which mixes black and white music styles and became phenomenally successful. Frank Farian had musical activity up to 2000 and beyond as shows his biography.

P. M.

Note. I use elements of Farian's biography that I found on the web a few years ago. It seems that they aren't available now.
