… Read Full Bio ↴Tee Set was a Dutch beat band from the town of Delft, The Netherlands.
Founded in 1965, Tee Set was initially leaning towards rhythm & blues, but their music gradually became more 'poppy' from 1969 onwards (some of the early fans would call it 'slick'). Tee Set seemed to have disappeared by 1979, but resurfaced in 1983 and in the following years regularly performed at 'back to the sixties' festivals.
Between 1966 and 1979 fourteen Tee Set singles reached the Top 20 of the Dutch charts. Their biggest hit in The Netherlands was She Likes Weeds, but its success (#1 in Holland in 1970) was easily eclipsed by the international triumph of Ma Belle Amie, which peaked at #5 in the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. In The Netherlands it was 'only' a #6 hit.
Tee Set was the earliest example of a 'Do It Yourself' attitude in Dutch music history: the band founded their own record label. All of their post-1967 releases were self-released on Tee Set Records, an unusual business model in the 1960s.
The band's line-up underwent many changes over the years. Frontman Peter Tetteroo (who died in 2002, aged 55) was the only permanent member.
The 1966 line-up that recorded the earliest hits fell apart in 1967: three band members (Hans van Eijck, Polle Eduard and English guitarist, Ray Fenwick) formed a new band, named After Tea. Tetteroo formed an entirely new Tee Set line-up. Hans van Eijck returned in 1969 and is the Tee Set member with the highest number of 'years in office' after Tetteroo.

Great song, I was 11 when this was a hit in 70. top 5. lately I have been hearing it and have revisited the song. He had such a unique voice. I liked the key change at the chorus and the song turned into a Gospel Hymn tent revival with the clapping. There is something magical about this song. To use an old phrase-they don't write em like this anymore. God Bless Tee Set and Peter Tetteroo.

Translate please. I see that you like the song- you think it's a very good selection and you're thankful. ..I'm very rusty on mi espanol

This is the first 45 my dad gave me after my mom and him split. I was 3. I played it hundreds of times, hoping he would come home. When I listen now I can see and smell the room I was in. The beginning of my love of music!

I love this song from Tee Set, a Netherlands group. Peter Tetteroo had an amazing voice, and he was good looking too.
@sonofthehills
What a querky little song. Strange enough that once you have heard it, it sticks like glue in your mind for years everafter
@chriselisa78
I was nine years old when this came out. Brings back so many fond memories!
@j99tinks
I always liked this song. It still gets a lot of airplay on local radio. This live version on this set is very cool.
@farodyoung
Pure talent! Great memories thanks for posting.

I was 12 and there was this girl 11 on my paper route that would come outside everyday when I delivered the paper, and we'd talk but I could never tell her how I felt, but this song always makes me think of her.
