Kalimba de Luna – 16 Happy Songs is a compilation album by Boney M. released in late 1984. On the strength of two carbon-copy cover versions, "Kalimba de Luna" and "Happy Song" which gave Boney M. their first Top 20 hits in Germany in three years, this compilation was rush-released in November 1984. Besides the 12" versions of the two singles, the latter marking Bobby Farrell's return to the band but neither featuring Liz Mitchell or Marcia Barrett, the compilation includes 3-minute edits of tracks from albums Boonoonoonoos and Ten Thousand Lightyears as well as non-album singles "Children Of Paradise"/"Gadda Da Vida" (1980), "Felicidad (Margherita)" (1981), "Going Back West" (1982) and "Jambo - Hakuna Matata " (1983), as well as a new remix of "Calendar Song" from the Oceans Of Fantasy album. Just like in the case of 1980 compilation The Magic Of Boney M. - 20 Golden Hits, many of these edits were to re-surface on a number of hits compilations in the future, the latest being 2007 Sony-BMG release Hit Collection.
The "Happy Song" single was originally released under the name 'Boney M. with Bobby Farrell & the School-Rebels' and this compilation as 'Boney M. with Bobby Farrell'.
More Gold – 20 Super Hits Vol. II is a 1993 greatest hits album by Boney M..

More Gold - 20 Super Hits Vol. II spun off two European single releases, "Ma Baker Remix '93" and "Papa Chico", the latter credited as 'Boney M. feat. Liz Mitchell' and released in early 1994.
1994 also saw the CD debut of eight of the original Boney M. albums; Take the Heat off Me, Love for Sale, Nightflight to Venus, Oceans of Fantasy, Boonoonoonoos, Ten Thousand Lightyears, compilation Kalimba de Luna - 16 Happy Songs and Eye Dance, all released by BMG in collaboration with Frank Farian's own record label MCI.
"Baby Can I Hold You" is the third single released by the American contemporary folk artist Tracy Chapman, released in late 1988. The song reached the top 50 in the United States, unlike its predecessor, "Talkin' 'bout a Revolution", but it failed to become Chapman's second top 40 hit, peaking at #48. It did, however, give her a second chart entry on the US Adult Contemporary charts, peaking at #19 in early 1989. Given the commercial decline Chapman suffered following the release of her second album Crossroads, "Baby Can I Hold You" also became her last top 50 hit until 1996's "Give Me One Reason". In July 1990 the song reached #1 in Portugal.

An album of rarities for Talk Talk's career after 1988 was released in 2001 as Missing Pieces.
