They created so much good music over 60 years. It's a shame they had only two hits in the US.

And it's terrible that they had to finally break up because George Kooymans is ill, diagnosed with ALS about a year ago.

He was only 21 in the 1969 TV appearance above, but the band had already been together for 8 years (and after drummer Cesar Zuiderwijk joined in 1970, kept the same lineup till last year).
