London Boys were Edem Ephraim and Dennis Fuller. They were both born in 1959, Edem in London on July 1, and Dennis in Jamaica on June 19. They lived in Germany since 1981, in Hamburg. Before reaching success with London Boys they were in a roller-skating group Roxy Rollers and often worked odd jobs, sometimes as street musicians and actors in local theatres.

        London Boys was formed in middle of the 80s, and had 4 albums and numerous singles. In total they sold 4.5 million records.  Edem and Dennis not only took time to record their music and release it but also gave concerts and appeared in clubs all over the world.

        London Boys music is very optimistic upbeat Eurodisco at its best, with a roots going to back to High Energy Disco. People who like Modern Talking, Bad Boys Blue, Joy, Silent Circle and other similar bands are sure will not be left indifferent to its appeal. The success of the band was due as well to the man behind London Boys, their producer and songwriter - Ralf-Ren� Mau�.

        Unfortunately,  Edem and Dennis both tragically died in a car accident on January 21, 1996. They traveled in Austrian Alps on a dangerous mountain road, and another car was trying to pass at the opposite side of the road. The accident was a head-on collision with a drunken Swiss. He, Edem's wife, their mutual friend - a Hamburg DJ - all died. Edem and his German wife left behind a son Stevie who was 3 years old at the time of the tragedy. Dennis had a daughter, Laura, who was 10.
