Background[]
In 1967 / 1968, their single "Storybook children" bw "Just a minute" was released on the Philips label.[1]
In 1972 they represented the Netherlands at the Eurovision Song Contest with their song "Als het om de liefde gaat",[2] which Holten co-wrote the song with Hans van Hemert.[3]
In the November 9, 1974 issue of Billboard, it was announced that they were to break up. The reason given was that Holten wanted to pursue a career confined to songwriting while Reemer was to carry on as a solo singer. The magazine also said that she was to represent Holland in the 1975 Eurovision.[4]
Their final single "Oh, Nous Sommes Tres Amoureux" bw "I Can't Forget" was released in 1975.[5]
