| Dutch-singing country singer who scored several hits in the seventies & eighties. As so many artists, he is noticed for the first time in the slipstream of Johan Verminnen. He makes his debut in 1970 with the group Pendulum, whose "It's a beautiful day" turns out to be a one-time hit. After the split in 1971, Van Neygen teams up with Raymond van het Groenewoud and forms the group Louisette. This group is in retrospect labeled as the first real Flemish rock group. They bring all time-evergreens like "Maria, Maria, ik hou van jou" and "Zij houdt van vrijen" to the world. The record of Louisette has surprisingly little success and Van het Groenewoud and Van Neygen go their own separate ways. From the middle of the seventies onward, he becomes a popular solo singer. In "Wit-lof from Belgium" it is noted that "Van Neygen evolved from dutch country to an at times very well-succeeded crossover of pop & country. Part of this evolution is due to the cooperation with Jeroen Le Compte (son of the mad doctor and songwriter for Flemish singers)." His most tasteful singles are "Stille brieven" of 1978 and "Hotel Stil Verdriet" of 1981. This last one is an original song by Elvis Costello, in a translation by journalist and film-maker Eric Didden.

Raymond van het Groenewoud | Etisch Reveil | 1979 | LP | IBC 1A064-23872 | Belgium | EX/EX | 4 € |
| From the beginning of the seventies singer, songwriter, philosopher, clown and Belgian Raymond van het Groenewoud mixes candid observations on human behavior with his own, unique sense of humor. His songs are alternatively full of emotion and boisterous, dark and joyful, but are always powered by a sound base of rock'n roll and references to all four musical corners of the globe. |
