The Mo - Cheese - (1982) • TopPop

The Mo, also known as Mo for short, was a Dutch pop band that was founded in 1979 by the brothers Clemens and Huub de Lange. Their debut album ’Mo’, with Heili Helder as singer and Harm Bieger as drummer, had a unique instrumentation for that time: both electric guitar and bass guitar were missing. Instead, keyboard instruments were used (including Wurlitzer piano and Clavinet) and a classical wind instrument: the bassoon. In February 1981 the album reached the top 10. Single success was for Nancy (1980), and above all for Fred Astaire (1981). After Huub de Lange had left the group at the beginning of 1981 and was succeeded by Ton van der Meer, the group fell apart in June 1981 when Heili Helder and Clemens de Lange left. Bieger and Van der Meer then made a new start. With two new band members - singer Linda Bloemhard and keyboardist Hans Nieuwint - they tried to copy the original Mo and follow up on the success. This single is from the second album ’Ha Ha! The Sound of Laughing’ in that line-up. Nederlands:
