Effective period / Period of releases: 1970

Members: Willem Van Kooten, Peter Koelewijn, Fred Haayen

The Freddies are a unique combination of three of Holland's most influential people in the music business: producer/rocksinger Peter Koelewijn (who worked under many names, apart from his own solo career and Peter & his Rockets ever since 1959), producer Freddy Haayen (especially famous for working a long time with the Golden Earring(s), Bojoura and many other Dutch artists) and Holland's most influential music publisher Willem van Kooten, who started his career as the most important disc-jockey in The Netherlands in the early 60s up to the 70s with offshore radio-station Veronica. It wasn't the first time they combined forces. They recorded together before as "Zoef Zoef en de Beevers" (in 1969) and as "De Praatpalen" (1968-1970).
