(es) The Cats were a Dutch rock band formed in Volendam in 1964. They were active (with a few interruptions) from 1964 until 1985 and had their most successful period from 1968 until 1975. Of the many hits the band had at home and abroad, the biggest one is "One Way Wind", which was released in 38 countries and a top ten number in several of them, of which it was a number one in Switzerland. In Germany it sold more than a million copies. The song has been covered by some 150 other artists. The number was written by Arnold Muhren, bass-player and chief composer. Further band members were Cees Veerman (vocals/guitar/percussion) and Piet Veerman (vocals/guitar), (drums), and (guitar) and (guitar; for three years). (en) The Cats waren een popgroep uit Volendam. Ze bestonden van 1964 tot 1985, zij het met enkele onderbrekingen, en waren van 1968 tot 1975 een van de meest succesvolle bands van Nederland. De bezetting bestond uit Cees Veerman, Piet Veerman, Arnold Mühren, Jaap Schilder, Theo Klouwer en (van 1972 tot 1975) Piet Keizer. Jan Buijs was vanaf de oprichting de manager. Ze ontwikkelden een oorspronkelijk muziekgeluid dat de naam palingsound meekreeg. Het kenmerkt zich door de dramatiek in de stem van Piet Veerman, de achtergrondzang van de andere leden, de composities van Arnold Mühren en het studiowerk van Klaas Leyen en Wim Jongbloed. De stijl vond navolging bij veel andere Volendamse artiesten, zoals Maddog, Left Side, Next One en vanaf 1977 BZN. Cees Veerman was aanvankelijk de leadzanger en Piet Veerman had deze rol vanaf 1968 voor de A-kanten van de singles. De eerste nummers waren covers of werden buiten de groep geschreven. Daarna kwam steeds meer werk van eigen hand, waaronder de grote hits Lea, Why, Marian, Magical mystery morning, Where have I been wrong, Let's dance en There has been a time. De meest verkochte single is One way wind. The Cats verkochten meer dan dertien miljoen geluidsdragers. 36 singles kwamen in de Top 40 terecht, waarvan vijf op nummer 1 en negentien in de Top 10. In de alltimelijst Top 2000 zijn in de loop van de tijd dertien nummers opgenomen. De band trad op in binnen- en buitenland, waaronder Indonesië, Suriname en op de Antillen. Twee albums werden in de Verenigde Staten geproduceerd door Al Capps. In 1974 was er een optredenstop van ongeveer een jaar. In deze periode brachten drie bandleden soloalbums uit. Na een hervatting van de optredens viel de band in 1979 geheel uit elkaar. Vervolgens was er van 1982 tot 1985 een comeback. In 1994 was er nog een vergeefse poging hiertoe door drie bandleden zonder Piet Veerman. Kort na de eeuwwisseling werden twee tributebands opgericht en vijftien jaar later nog een derde. (nl) |
