London Boys

London Boys were a British dance-pop duo based in Germany whose members were Edem Ephraim (1 July 1959, London, UK – 21 January 1996) and Dennis Fuller (19 June 1959, Jamaica – 21 January 1996). They are best remembered for the UK top 5 hits "Requiem" and "London Nights". The duo were killed when their car was hit by a drunk driver in the Eastern Alps, Austria, on 21 January 1996. Ephraim's wife also died in the accident, leaving their three-year-old son orphaned and Fuller's 10-year-old daughter without a father.
In 2024 the original producers, Ralf-René Maué and Luis Rodríguez Salazar, recruited two new members for the group, Gaspar Garcia and ET Benson. Maué was the composer and lyricist of all the original London Boys hits in the late 1980s and early 1990s, while Rodríguez is especially known of having co-produced the most popular Eurodisco projects of German music producer and composer Dieter Bohlen, for example Modern Talking or C.C.Catch. He was also behind German Eurodance act of the mid-1990s Fun Factory. Maué and Rodríguez both worked in Hamburg in the 1980s, and the latter has his own studio in Mallorca Spain called Team 33. His wife Lian Ross (Josephine Hiebel) is also a well-known performer of the Eurodisco/hi-NRG music scene.
