Bruce & Bongo


Bruce & Bongo was a popular '80s Germany-based pop duo best known in Europe for the hit single "Geil." The duo consisted of musician/singer Bruce Hammond Earlam and musician/singer Douglas "Bongo" Wilgrove, both from Britain.
While the act is considered to be a German-based act, Earlam and Wilgrove are in fact from the United Kingdom. The "Geil" single spent four weeks at No. 1 Germany in 1986. It also became a hit in Austria, Italy, Belgium, Switzerland and the Netherlands in the '80s. The song was released alongside their most successful album, The Geil Album. In the context of the song, the German word "geil" is used to mean "cool" or "awesome", but it also means "horny". The duo also promoted a second single, "Hi Ho ", at several events in Germany.
In 1994, Hammond helped establish a new production company, ", which assisted in the creation of several European hits, including the Mark'Oh project. Hammond has also worked on the albums Beyond the Banana Islands and Magic Tour.
