\nWarm greetings my dear FANMILY, FRIENDS and WELL-WISHERS.<\/p>\n
It gives me immense pleasure in wishing you all a MERRY CHRISTMAS & A HAPPY NEW YEAR. I truly hope that you all will be enjoying this festive season with your loved ones.<\/p>\n
Marcus and I will be enjoying Christmas at home, having a couple of quiet and relaxed days with some delicious Christmas food and maybe a glass of champagne (smile).<\/p>\n
I hope you all have been enjoying the 45th<\/sup> anniversary postings of the Boney M. singles \u201cRivers Of Babylon\/Brown Girl In The Ring\u201d, \u201cRasputin\u201d, \u201cMary\u2019s Boy Child\/Oh My Lord\u201d and of course our LP \u201cNightflight To Venus\u201d. What a journey 1978 was! The way 1978 ended was pure magic and indeed like a trip to Venus with a historic and much appreciated visit to Moscow and a U.K. Christmas No. 1 single. What can I say? Life has been good!<\/p>\nI would like to THANK my supportive FANMILY for leaving comments on my social media platforms as well as sending me personal messages. Unfortunately, I haven\u2019t the time to answer all of them, but I must tell you that I treasure each and every one of them very much! Your support is always cherished! THANK YOU!<\/p>\n
Slowly 2024 is approaching and my outlook for the new year is very positive! GOD is good and will guide us in achieving our goals. I have PLANS for 2024\u2026 (Smile)<\/p>\n
Let me conclude this note by once again wishing my dear friends a MERRY CHRISTMAS & A HAPPY, HEALTHY and PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR.<\/p>\n
Peace & Love!<\/p>\n

\n\nFestive Greetings Fanmily, Friends & Wellwishers,<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Let me hope that everybody is ready for some enjoyable, festive two weeks. I`m aware that this passing year has been quite turbulent for some - including myself but it`s a great feeling in getting through it with HOPE, believing that things, circumstances and time will gradually heal everything, one day at a time.<\/span><\/p>\n\nEveryday is precious and we should cherish each one and be grateful for LIFE!<\/p>\n
Now, allow me the chance to tell you how very pleased I am to see so many of you loyal members of my \"FANMILY\" are enjoying and commenting positively on the \"Eye To Eye Contact\" video.<\/p>\n
We did the filming here in Berlin with the dancers that \"Raliza Van Oijen\" (Top female dancer) selected on my behalf. Our late brother and \"Team Mate - Shaun O`Shea\" who resided in South Africa did the editing which is one of his last piece of work before he left us earlier this year peacefully. What a courageous man!!! Marcus, Danni and I have lost an incredible \"Team Mate\"<\/p>\n
whose spirit is continuing to guide us.<\/p>\n
Let me share a couple of photos with you of our trip and presentation of my show last week in \"Tirol\" - Austria. My team and I were taken aback with the beautiful mountains that boldly displayed their mystical energies. What a beautiful world we live in, we should try and keep it that way. Don`t You Agree?<\/p>\n
We had another jolly good time but Marcus and I are still waiting for another two pieces of checked-in luggage. Not to worry, they will turn up eventually - I`m hoping.<\/p>\n
Well friends let me pause for now by concluding this note. In the meantime, do continue to enjoy the video and photos as well as staying in tuned for a few excitements next year. We will definitely keep you posted. Thank you ever so much for your continuous support!<\/p>\n
My team and I are here by wishing you a \"Merry Christmas\" and A Healthy & Happy New Year with 2023!<\/p>\n
Love & Music! Music! Music\u2026\u2026.<\/p>\n

MY TRIBUTE TO \"HER MAJESTY QUEEN ELIZABETH II\"<\/span><\/h1>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/marciabarrettsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/BoneyM26Nov1979-1024x725.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
Having heard over a week ago that \"Her Majesty\" have died, the transition of deep regret and gloom thrusted through me like a strong wave heading in my direction, which of course changed it\u2019s navigation.<\/p>\n
Ever since I attended infant school in Jamaica where I was born and bred, I was taught to sing our \"National Anthem\" entitled \"God Save Our Gracious Queen\". Years after I was reconnected with my mother who was already residing in \"Great Britain\".<\/p>\n
In continuing to Honour and Respect the \"British Monarchy\" it is sure an historical knowledge to have and having \"Her Majesty\" reigning and governing over us for seventy years, still active attending to her duties only two days before she died.<\/p>\n
It was written in the stars when my former colleagues and I, better known as \"Boney M.\" were selected during our early global hits to perform for \"Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II\" at the \"Theatre Royal, Drury Lane\" with other established artistes who were included in the program for that evening.<\/p>\n
This prestigious opportunity was in November 1979. I was overwhelmed with joy, feeling very privileged and humble all at the same time but keeping a certain calm awaiting the moment when \"Our Queen\" shook each member`s hand then took two paces backward and asked us if we were performing elsewhere in London.<\/p>\n
I`ll go on in saying that I admire and will always remember her \"Graceful Voice\" and her \"Lovely Smile\" that always warms up ones inner being.<\/p>\n
Thank you \"Our Queen\" for having reigned over us so courageously and attentively as our \"Figure Head\" in Great Britain and the \"Commonwealth Countries\" globally.<\/p>\n
May you rest in \"Everlasting Peace\" whilst you`ll carry on in history. God bless and Long Live \"King Charles III\".<\/p>\n

As I sit here today my dearest Shaun, I`m reflecting on the good times that you Marcus and I have had over these decades, with a smile on my face even though I`m very sad.<\/p>\n
I found you delightful, vibrant, helpful, supportive and with the same positiveness seeing that you were a \"Fighter\" in standing up for what you believed in. Being so sincere made me also realize and pleasantly surprised observing and enjoying how funny you were.<\/p>\n
Being one of your \"Team Mates\" regarding my \"Solo Project\" you have taken me further with my career, in demonstrating your mastered skills in Graphics, Marketing and all your other shinning achievements in this business we chose to be a part of - \"Show Business\". My gratitude for all the support you`ve given me is quite emotional.<\/p>\n
Danni and Marcus, your other two \"Team Mates\" are quite distraught in realizing that their losing such an easy going friend and mate and are sending you \"Peace & Love\". Marcus goes on to express how much he trusted you, who has always been in my corner.<\/p>\n
Together we are saying Shaun, \"Let The Music Play\" in heaven with the other angels, knowing that your spirit will always be with us forever as much as our spirits will always be with you, receiving \"Positive Vibrations\".<\/p>\n
We are sending out our deepest condolences\u00a0 to your family and friends during this mourning of a \"Loved One\" as precious as you. We know that you are in a safe place with God`s Blessings!<\/p>\n
Rest In Everlasting Peace!<\/p>\n

Greetings Fanmily, Friends and Wellwishers,<\/p>\n
How are you feeling? Let me be comforted in assuming that everybody is healthy, well and keeping safe, whilst looking forward to a brighter immediate future, after being thrown off with this brutal attack of \"Covid \u2013 19\u201d with all it's offspring of variants. May your family and friends also be in good shape.<\/p>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0Let\u2019s \"Celebrate\" and Dance, Sing, or just Sway with the compelling beats and messages from our long awaited CD entitled \"SEASONS\".<\/p>\n
Yes! Yes! You\u2019ll be able to download and listen to all 16 tracks in full length in a few days time, even though you've heard \"Easy Street\" if you've decided to take up on the offer with pre-order. Your comments on that lovely track is indeed joyful and encouraging that means a lot to me. Thank you most awfully!<\/p>\n
You know friends, \"Perseverance\" can be painful at times but during that long process, you'll develop a certain extra \"Strength and Belief\u201d in achieving your set goals. HOORAY! HOORAY! IT\u2019S A HOLI-, HOLIDAY!<\/p>\n
My team and I have been kept on our toes intensively, since we decided to release the expanded version of \"SURVIVAL\" and now \"SEASONS\" on the digital platform. I'm blessed that Shaun O\u2019Shea is a part of my team for decades, who convinced Marcus and I in taking this route for releases of our body of work that we created for over three decades.<\/p>\n
Shaun demonstrates his \"Graphics Skills\" as well as his superb marketing skills including his writing skills. He then tops all his mastership by being a natural warm, loving and caring person which shows loyalty. Thank you Shaun for being Shaun and indeed a dear friend.<\/p>\n
Danni Lange, Oh Dan! You see, most of the times I call him Dan and he doesn't mind at all which reassures me that \"It's Alright! It\u2019s Alright!\u201d Dan is a \"Team Mate\" for decades also and has shown his caring patience and his skills on the computer, which is not my cup of tea \u2014 working on the computer.<\/p>\n
He is in charge of all my postings from day one and now working more intensively with Shaun, which richly contributes to my \"Solo Project Marcia Barrett Of Boney M.\". Thank you Dan for being there for me through the rough and the smooth years. You are a fine person and I treasure your friendship.<\/p>\n
My husband Marcus James is a huge \"Blessing\" sent to me from the \"Higher Forces\", that I've had and still having the pleasure to enjoy and appreciate his wonderful character during the decades of our bonding.<\/p>\n
Whilst I was \"Globe Trotting\" with \"Boney M.\" (Intense Work with \"Studio<\/p>\n
Recordings\u201d) from the middle seventies to 1990 Marcus started to compose songs until I arrived back home then invited me to create with him. I wasn't quite ready but was soon convinced to take up on his offer and continuing to enjoy him also as a \"Team Mate\" professionally. Thank you my darling \u2014 Sweetie Pucks!<\/p>\n
Who would have thought that after three and a half decades of creative work, you my dear Fans, are just hearing the first releases. Allow me to add my gratitude to the other \"Song Writers\" who collaborated on \"Seasons\". They are Kelvin James and Mark Kearns as well as John Edmed.<\/p>\n
Kelvin and I are going back in knowing and working with each other for decades, including with my \"Solo Show\" in Theatre Royal... Drury Lane in the early eighties. He can write songs for me any day. He composed \"Rip It Up\" and \"You\". Mark Kearns approached me in singing \"See Through My Eyes\". I couldn't refuse! Gentlemen, get your pens and paper ready because I'm ready!!!<\/p>\n
Lots more to come when time and tide comes in. \"The Race Is Not For The Swift\". Be humble and endure.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ll conclude this note friends by wishing you a \"Merry Christmas\" and a \"Happy & Prosperous\" New Year \u2014 2022\".<\/p>\n
Abundant Light & Blessings.<\/p>\n
One Love - Yours Truly,<\/p>\n

My gratitude for all the support you`ve given me is quite emotional.<\/p>\n Danni and Marcus, your other two \"Team Mates\" are quite distraught in realizing that their losing such an easy going friend and mate and are sending you \"Peace & Love\". Marcus goes on to express how much he trusted you, who has always been in my corner.<\/p>\n Together we are saying Shaun, \"Let The Music Play\" in heaven with the other angels, knowing that your spirit will always be with us forever as much as our spirits will always be with you, receiving \"Positive Vibrations\".<\/p>\n We are sending out our deepest condolences\u00a0 to your family and friends during this mourning of a \"Loved One\" as precious as you. We know that you are in a safe place with God`s Blessings!<\/p>\n Rest In Everlasting Peace!<\/p>\n Sister Marcia.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n (All Rights Reserved <\/span>17 \/ 08 \/ 2022)<\/span><\/p>\n \n<\/div>\n \n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div> ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div> Click on the image below to listen to the PodCast on Spotify (Link opens in a new window).<\/p>\n \n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div> ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div> ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div> <\/p>\n \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0IT'S THE SEASON, IN FULL SWING!\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \"CHRISTMAS GREETINGS 2021!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n Greetings Fanmily, Friends and Wellwishers,<\/p>\n How are you feeling? Let me be comforted in assuming that everybody is healthy, well and keeping safe, whilst looking forward to a brighter immediate future, after being thrown off with this brutal attack of \"Covid \u2013 19\u201d with all it's offspring of variants. May your family and friends also be in good shape.<\/p>\n \u00a0 \u00a0Let\u2019s \"Celebrate\" and Dance, Sing, or just Sway with the compelling beats and messages from our long awaited CD entitled \"SEASONS\".<\/p>\n Yes! Yes! You\u2019ll be able to download and listen to all 16 tracks in full length in a few days time, even though you've heard \"Easy Street\" if you've decided to take up on the offer with pre-order. Your comments on that lovely track is indeed joyful and encouraging that means a lot to me. Thank you most awfully!<\/p>\n You know friends, \"Perseverance\" can be painful at times but during that long process, you'll develop a certain extra \"Strength and Belief\u201d in achieving your set goals. HOORAY! HOORAY! IT\u2019S A HOLI-, HOLIDAY!<\/p>\n My team and I have been kept on our toes intensively, since we decided to release the expanded version of \"SURVIVAL\" and now \"SEASONS\" on the digital platform. I'm blessed that Shaun O\u2019Shea is a part of my team for decades, who convinced Marcus and I in taking this route for releases of our body of work that we created for over three decades.<\/p>\n Shaun demonstrates his \"Graphics Skills\" as well as his superb marketing skills including his writing skills. He then tops all his mastership by being a natural warm, loving and caring person which shows loyalty. Thank you Shaun for being Shaun and indeed a dear friend.<\/p>\n Danni Lange, Oh Dan! You see, most of the times I call him Dan and he doesn't mind at all which reassures me that \"It's Alright! It\u2019s Alright!\u201d Dan is a \"Team Mate\" for decades also and has shown his caring patience and his skills on the computer, which is not my cup of tea \u2014 working on the computer.<\/p>\n He is in charge of all my postings from day one and now working more intensively with Shaun, which richly contributes to my \"Solo Project Marcia Barrett Of Boney M.\". Thank you Dan for being there for me through the rough and the smooth years. You are a fine person and I treasure your friendship.<\/p>\n My husband Marcus James is a huge \"Blessing\" sent to me from the \"Higher Forces\", that I've had and still having the pleasure to enjoy and appreciate his wonderful character during the decades of our bonding.<\/p>\n Whilst I was \"Globe Trotting\" with \"Boney M.\" (Intense Work with \"Studio<\/p>\n Recordings\u201d) from the middle seventies to 1990 Marcus started to compose songs until I arrived back home then invited me to create with him. I wasn't quite ready but was soon convinced to take up on his offer and continuing to enjoy him also as a \"Team Mate\" professionally. Thank you my darling \u2014 Sweetie Pucks!<\/p>\n Who would have thought that after three and a half decades of creative work, you my dear Fans, are just hearing the first releases. Allow me to add my gratitude to the other \"Song Writers\" who collaborated on \"Seasons\". They are Kelvin James and Mark Kearns as well as John Edmed.<\/p>\n Kelvin and I are going back in knowing and working with each other for decades, including with my \"Solo Show\" in Theatre Royal... Drury Lane in the early eighties. He can write songs for me any day. He composed \"Rip It Up\" and \"You\". Mark Kearns approached me in singing \"See Through My Eyes\". I couldn't refuse! Gentlemen, get your pens and paper ready because I'm ready!!!<\/p>\n Lots more to come when time and tide comes in. \"The Race Is Not For The Swift\". Be humble and endure.<\/p>\n I\u2019ll conclude this note friends by wishing you a \"Merry Christmas\" and a \"Happy & Prosperous\" New Year \u2014 2022\".<\/p>\n Abundant Light & Blessings.<\/p>\n One Love - Yours Truly,<\/p>\n Marcia.<\/p>\n (Copy Right Control)<\/p>\n 10 \/ 12 \/ 21.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div> ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div> Marcia Barrett of Boney M., Liz Mitchell and Frank Farian during the recording of the album \u201c10.000 Lightyears\u201d around late 1983\/early 1984.<\/p>\nTIS THE SEASON! \u2013 MY CHRISTMAS NOTE 2023 (22nd December)<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n
