The London Boys were a British-German pop duo, formed in 1986. They achieved success in the late 1980s with their catchy dance-pop songs and energetic performances. The duo consisted of Edem Ephraim and Dennis Fuller, who met while studying music in London. Their debut album, "The Twelve Commandments of Dance," was a commercial success, reaching the top ten in several European countries. With their unique blend of Eurodance and synthpop, the London Boys became known for their infectious melodies and memorable hooks. Sadly, tragedy struck in 1996 when both members tragically died in a car accident. Despite their untimely end, the legacy of the London Boys lives on through their timeless music.
Throughout their career, the London Boys released several hit singles including "Requiem," "London Nights," and "Harlem Desire." Their music captured the spirit of the 80s with its upbeat tempo and vibrant soundscapes. The duo's distinctive style blended elements of disco, new wave, and electronic music to create a sound that was both nostalgic and forward-thinking.
Today, the music of the London Boys continues to resonate with fans around the world. Their infectious energy and undeniable talent have made them an enduring presence in pop music history. Whether you're a longtime fan or discovering their music for the first time, immerse yourself in the captivating world of the London Boys and experience their timeless appeal.

Now for the first time, we celebrate the memory of The London Boys with a new 5-disc box set, featuring three albums (The Twelve Commandments Of Dance, Sweet Soul Music and Love 4 Unity), expanded with a host of extra material.

Edem Ephraim and Dennis Fuller, both true Londoners from the east end, were christened The London Boys in 1986. Discovered whilst working as dancers in Hamburg, producer Ralf-René Maué instantly saw their potential for pop stardom.

The duo enjoyed several hits in Europe and Asia, but it was the single ‘Requiem’ that caught on internationally, thanks to Pete Waterman, who persuaded The London Boys U.K. label to release the record domestically. 

‘Requiem’ rose to number 4 on the charts and was swiftly followed by the #2 hit ‘London Nights’. Both were included on the near-double-platinum album, The Twelve Commandments Of Dance, that also hit #2. Further hits followed in the UK and around the world with ‘Harlem Desire’, ‘My Love’, ‘Freedom’ and ‘Chapel Of Love’.
