This song was released by a dutch group.I could not find any information on other releases or the group itself. "If You Need Me" was a huge hit for them in '73, it reached # 1 in South Africa.
Other releases were: Help me my love (another South-African hitsingle),My Girl, Hitshot and Tupulev. Enschede, Holland based band. Players through the years were: Ipo Oosterhuis-guitar, Eddy Becker-bass,Fred Fähnrich-keyb, Janette Fähnrich-vocals and violin,Johnny Ekkelboom-sax,Gerrit Trip -lead vocals,Ben hesselink-keyb, Henk Zweers-drums, Chris Broer-sax.
Yeah and Bertie whas socalled drummer of this band but to shame,togethere with Ed Becker they ended in havey drugs criminality. So where were their prioritys. They both fucked op the whole concept off After All. To bad for a in potentionel a great band
I love music, mostly Ballads be it US, Caribbean and all parts of the World. My second love is South American and Caribbean dance music. I'm not a technical listener but an emotional one. The voices, backing vocals, band, lyrics must touch me for me to like it. So don't expect me to dwell into technical details of songs, if it's on this blog, it's there because it touched me in one way or an other.
