PSB - It's a sin x BBB - Come Back And Stay!!!

#1 Post by DJAMIX »

Has anyone ever listened to Bad Boys Blue - Come back and Stay? It has almost the same keyboard (like a violin) as It's a sin!!! It sounds so near to identical that it's hard to think of a coincidence.

Can it be just a coincidence?

Take a listen and then come back here, ok?

Bad Boys Blue's producer Tony Hendrik often took stuff from other artists and incorporated it in his own work. There are lots of examples of this. For instance, on the first couple of BBB albums he took the idea of having a high-pitched "second chorus" from Modern Talking.

BTW, I love Bad Boys Blue. They're cheesy, but every BBB album has at least one or two brilliant tracks.

I think the same way. Their best, IMO:

- How I need you
- Save your love
- A love like this

I just checked. I actually own every regular BBB studio album, but not one single of their many compilation albums. It amounts to 16 studio albums - quite impressive! They must be the act by which I own the most different albums.
