Als sie immer weiter die Karriereleiter nach oben stieg, bot man Madeleine Davis Ende der 70er Jahre an, nach München zu ziehen, wo sie schnell zur gefragtesten Background-Sängerin/Arrangeurin in Europa wurde.
Sie arbeitete für namenhafte Produzenten wie Ralph Siegel, Michael Kunze, Tony Monn, Giorgio Moroder, Sylvester Levay, Frank Farian und vielen anderen.
Sie war als Backgroundsängerin auf Tourneen mit Peggy March, Michael Schanze, Hoyt Axton, Penny McLean, Klaus Doldinger, La Bionda, Claudja Barry, Rick Astley, Dusko Lokin, Amanda Lear, Englebert, Barclay James Harvest, Precious Wilson, Terence Trent D'Arby, Chilly, Sydney Rome, Roberta Kelly, Joan Orleans, Michael Holm, Michael Schanze, Heino , Roberta Kelly.
1981 gründete Madeleine Davis zusammen mit Patricia Shockley, Kathy Bartney und Rhonda Heath die Gruppe LaMama, die vor allem durch ihre Singles "Elephant Funk", "In And Out", „Chanson D´Amour", "Voulez-Vous Coucher Avec Moi (Lady Marmelade)" bekannt wurde. Während seiner Zeit in der Gruppe LaMama bat Frank Farian (Produzent von Milly Vanilli, Boney M., La Bouche) LaMama, sich an neuen Songs für Boney M. auszuprobieren.
LaMama wirkte bei vielen Boney M.- Songs als Backgroundsänger mit - darunter auch bei „Going Back West“, „I Feel Good“, „Barbarella Fortuneteller“, „The Alibama“, „Happy Song“, „Todos Buenos“ und „Give It Up“.
1989 wurde Madeleine Davis von den Mitgliedern der Gruppe Boney M (Marcia Barrett, Maizie Williams und Bobby Farrell) kontaktiert und ihr wurde angeboten, die Stelle der Leadsängerin Liz Mitchell zu übernehmen.
Heute – über 30 Jahre später – tourt Madeleine Davis mit Boney M. noch immer durch die Welt.
Wenn Madeleine Davis nicht auf Tournee ist (sie ist auch Jazz und Blues-Sängerin), gibt sie Klavier- und Gesangsunterricht, ist zudem auch Vorsitzende des Ma Rainey International Blues Festival in Columbus, Georgia.
The song "Everybody Wants to Dance Like Josephine Baker" tributes Josephine Baker. Marcia Barrett provided the backing vocal and a spoken part by Bobby Farrell.
Marcia Barretts biography (now withdrawn), states the producers wanted to record Maizie Williams (who had never sung on Boney M.'s records) but try-outs proved unsuccessful.
Madeleine Davis was present at the recording together with Maize, Marcia and Bobby and contributed the chorus answer-back lines "Lose your self-control, feel it in your soul" etc.

Madeleine Davis was born and grew up in Colombus, Georgia. Her career began by performing in children’s theatre at the famous Springer Opera House, Sophisticated Ladies, and other Springer Productions.
Gypsy, The Harvey Milk Show, Babes in Arms, The Sound of Music are just a fraction of the Film, Television, and Theatre Presentations she starred in.
Madeleine is a trained classical singer and became a member of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra Chorus where the late Robert Shaw was director.
As she became more successful, she also became more popular and in the late 1970’s was given the opportunity to move to Munich in Germany. It did not take long before she became an extremely sought-after background vocalist in Europe working with successful producers such as Frank Farian, Ralph Siegel, Giorgio Moroder, and many the like.
Madeleine’s tours began with Peggy March, Penny McLean, Engelbert, Precious Wilson, James Harvest, just to name a few, where she was part of the background vocals.
Along with Patricia Shockley, Kathy Bartney and Rhonda Heath, Madeleine Davis formed the group “La Mama”. Their best-known singles were “Elephant Funk”, In and out”, “Voulet-Vous”, “Give it up”, once again, just to name a few.
Madeleine was contacted by Boney M members, Maizie Williams, Marcia Barrett, and Bobby Farrell in 1989, inviting her to take the place of singer Liz Mitchell who was the lead vocalist of Boney M at the time.
More than 30 years later she is still a bundle of energy, touring the world, and when she is not on tour she offers piano and singing lessons.
Did you know that Madeleine Davis is also a wonderful Blues and Jazz singer/entertainer?
By the rivers of Babylon
By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down
Ye-eah we wept, when we remembered Zion
By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down
Ye-eah we wept, when we remembered Zion
When the wicked
Carried us away in captivity
Required from us a song
Now how shall we sing the Lord's song in a strange land
When the wicked
Carried us away in captivity
Requiring of us a song
Now how shall we sing the Lord's song in a strange land
Let the words of our mouth and the meditation of our heart
Be acceptable in thy sight here tonight
Let the words of our mouth and the meditation of our heart
Be acceptable in thy sight here tonight
By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down
Ye-eah we wept, when we remembered Zion
By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down
Ye-eah we wept, when we remembered Zion
By the rivers of Babylon (dark tears of Babylon)
There we sat down (You got to sing a song)
Ye-eah we wept, (Sing a song of love)
When we remembered Zion. (Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah)
By the rivers of Babylon (Rough bits of Babylon)
There we sat down (You hear the people cry)
Ye-eah we wept, (They need their God)
When we remembered Zion. (Ooh, have the power)
