About London Boys
Song-specific inspiration or recording background is not established for this entry. This sourced artist profile provides career context.
London Boys was the dance-pop partnership of Edem Ephraim and Dennis Fuller. The two worked as dancers in Hamburg before producer Ralf-Rene Maue developed recordings with them under the London Boys name in 1986. Requiem and London Nights introduced their energetic vocal and dance presentation to an international audience. The Twelve Commandments of Dance established their album repertoire, with Sweet Soul Music and Love 4 Unity following as the duo continued to record together.
