Subject: A Complete Guide To Dutch Music From The 1960's To The 1990's
Written By: Henk on 09/05/11 at 2:41 pm
...is NOT what you're gonna find here. :P
Instead it'll be me posting videos by Dutch artists. That includes the obscure (even to me!) as well as the internationally known - whatever I can lay my hands upon. They'll be listed alphabetically (by artist), and I'll probably be posting them at irregular intervals.
Wherever I can I will try and add some background information.
Hope you'll find this entertaining... :-\\

And off we go...with two One Hit Wonders. And when I say 'Hit', I use the term loosely. ;)
Acapulco - Bebida Magica (1980)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJmnwr1JKus
Acapulco were not really a band, but a studio project. The tune is not an original: it was first recorded by Chilean band Los Jaivas in 1978.
The Affair - Unbeatable (1986)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ENmG5iOPVA
Members of The Affair included Saskia van Oerle (a.k.a. Van Orly) and...Forrest!

After Tea
Not Just A Flower In Your Hair (1967 - NL #11)
and
We Will Be There After Tea (1968 - NL #16)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNZZymXXHs0
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9TTCV8V5B-I
After Tea consisted of several former members of The Tee Set, who left the band after a quarrel in 1967.
By 1971, After Tea had undergone several changes in its lineup and the band called it quits due to lack of success.
Some of the members even returned to The Tee Set...

I quite all of those, especially the Acapulco one. I love the sound of the flute in popular music
I should do a thread like this for Canada, but it would probably get zero replies lol

The acapulco song is pretty.
The "After tea" songs are nice too, I prefer the "Not just a flower in your hair"

Thanks for the thumbs up! :)
I like the Acapulco tune as well. Even though it never made Top 40, it's still a rather popular tune over here.

Yeah, you totally should. Don't let a lack of response keep you from doing so.

Regarding 70s or 80s music only, other than Tee Set and Golden Earring, which other Dutch acts made it to the other side of the Atlantic?

I haven't kept a list, but here are some that you might have heard of:
Diesel (Sausalito Summernight)
George Baker Selection (Paloma Blanca)
Pussycat (Mississippi)
Father Abraham (The Smurf Song)
Mouth & MacNeal (How Do You Do)
Father Abraham (real name Pierre Kartner) also wrote a song called " 't Kleine café aan de haven", which would become internationally known as The Red Rose Cafe.

Now I learned something, Diesel is from Holland. Sausalito summernight is one of my favorite songs from University days.

Most people are surprised to learn Diesel wasn't an American band at all.
With very few exceptions (Golden Earring and George Baker Selection), all Dutch artists were OHW in the US (I don't know about Canada) - whereas most of them had a string of hits in their home country.
All artists mentioned will get their share of attention in this here thread in due time. ;)

Three completely different acts this time...
Air Bubble - Racing Car (1976 - NL #7)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0uuACF_X1wo
Sole Top 40 hit for this band, consisting of brothers André, Ben and Henk Groote along with Cor Mestebeld.
Prior to Air Bubble, brothers Groote formed a (less successful) band called Geebros.
Ben Groote also had (has?) a career in dream reading...
Jan Akkerman - Crackers (1978)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGyj-4E2hFs
Jan Akkerman, considered one of the greatest guitarists in the world, was a member of Focus, but he also had something of a solo career.
This tune failed to reach Dutch Top 40.
Alice Deejay - Back In My Life (1999 - NL #4)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldgwAAwj9zs
The biggest hit for this Dutch dance collective that included DJ's Jurgen, Svenson & Gielen, and Danski & Delmundo.

Sausalito Summernight by Diesel was a #1 hit in Canada!
I really enjoyed Alice Deejay as well as Candee Jay. 'Better Off Alone' by Alice Deejay was popular in Canada, but my favourite was 'Back in My Life'

I just realized that it wasn't Ben, but André Groote who had the dream reading career... :-[

Let's see what I can dig up next...
Alles - Murdock 9-6182 (1969 - NL #29)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NAJswV2XHd0
I don't know much about this band, other than that it was a one hit wonder.
Alquin - Wheelchair Groupie (1975)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLV2xGY29Jc
Another rather obscure band. Kevin might like this, because it's prog rock.
Amber - This is your night (1996 - NL #16)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOaqgrtoMGo
You might now her (well, I know Jason does) because she's far more popular abroad than in Holland.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvTQZO3hiCE&ob=av2n
The first two were number 1 hits in the UK, I don't know about the third one. But that one is also well-known worldwide.

Well, of course I will, once I reach letters D, T and V respectively. At this point though I haven't even finished letter A. ;)

Vengaboys also hit the #1 spot in UK.

I haven't kept a list, but here are some that you might have heard of:
What? No Shocking Blue? :o
I only ask as they hit at roughly the same time as Tee Set and George Baker ('Little Green Bag'), thereby creating a mini Dutch invasion in early 1970 (sadly not consolidated)...

I always think of them as a 1960's band, but you're right - it was in fact the early 1970's.

Not sure...to speed things up, maybe I should limit myself to songs that actually charted in the Netherlands. :-\\
Amsterdam - Lucy Lucy (1970 - NL #13)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M67PCmgBB4s
Yann Anderson - Song For Nadim (Love Should Rule The World) (1988 - NL #20)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xATrRyBjexM
Angela & The Rude - Pressure (1990 - NL #21)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BfftRcY_1SU
Angela is Angela Groothuizen (one of the Dolly Dots) and Rude is Ruud Mulder (of Spargo). We'll get to those later...

Yes she is, isn't she? Although that was her already 21 years ago... :o How time flies!
She's still in music business today. She's also hosted several tv shows, and was a judge/coach on a couple of talent quest shows on Dutch tv.

Amsterdam had one other charting single. "Indian Pipe", I think it was called.
