Andr Hazes Sr. & Jan Akkerman - Satisfaction - LaLaLa - Live (1999) TopPop

Today it would have been André Hazes’ 71st birthday. Unfortunately this popular Dutch singer died nearly 18 years ago. So today we commemorate this great Dutch singer of ’Dutch schlagers’ (popular Dutch language music). André was also a great bluesfan and performed several blues standards in the Dutch AVRO tv-program LaLaLa Live. One of them was ’Satisfaction’ by the Rolling Stones with great Dutch guitarist Jan Akkerman of Focus fame. André Gerardus (André) Hazes (Amsterdam, June 30, 1951 – Woerden, September 23, 2004), also called André Hazes Sr. to distinguish him from his son of the same name, was a Dutch singer who was popular from the late 1970s with his contemporary form of the Dutch language repertoire. He is considered one of the most successful artists in the Netherlands, but also in Flanders. Hazes distinguished himself by singing sentimental songs in an accessible Dutch language.
