.Willem van Hanegem - Don't Forget Me (Nilsson cover)/Carol (7" single)


Who doesn't know Willem van Hanegem? One of the best football
(soccer) players in the 60s, 70s and 80s of the last century.

After his football career, he ventured his luck as a singer. He took
a Harry Nilsson tune for his big singing breakthrough. The B side
was written by Hans Vermeulen from Sandy Coast.
Willem said it failed to chart due to a lack of promotion from CBS. 

I think Willem is a better singer then Harry could play soccer
but that's about it.

His son Willem van Hanegem jr. (Son of Willlemm 😄) is
a quite popular trance/house/rave producer.
