1. The Cats were a rock band from the Dutch fisherman's town of Volendam that existed from 1966 and 1985. Alongside fellow Volendammers, BZN, The Cats may be regarded as the most important band in the so-called Palingsound ('Eel Sound') genre, as the music of Volendam is often referred to.
Initially founded as The Blue Cats, The Cats had five Dutch #1 singles, one platinum and thirteen gold albums in their home country and were particularly successful in Germany also.
The band consisted of singers and guitarists, Cees Veerman (born 6-10-1943) and Piet Veerman (born 1-3-1943). Jaap Schilder (born 9-1-1943) played guitar and piano, bass player was Arnold Mühren (born 28-1-1944), drummer was Theo Klouwer (born 30-6-1947, died 8-2-2001).
Piet Veerman left the band in the 1980s and had a major Dutch (and German) solo hit with the song Sailing Home.
The band briefly re-united in 2006 to record a single.
2. John Ogetti Kpiaye was born in 1948 in the East End of London to an English mother and Nigerian father. He lived in the countryside from the age of 4 to 12. He attended Phoenix School for asthmatics in Mile End and Daneford Modern in Bethnal Green. He left school at 15 and began working as an apprentice welder. In 1966 his mother bought him his first guitar which he quickly taught himself to play. At that time he was into ska and rock steady as well as soul and he began learning those styles. A year later he quit his job, formed a band called The Hustling Kind (later the name changed to The Cats) and decided to try and make it as a musician. He hasn’t looked back since.
Success was soon to come. In 1968 Kpiaye thought it would be a good idea to do a rock steady/reggae rendition of the classical composition Swan Lake. He worked out a piano melody line on his sister’s piano at home and his band recorded the tune. They made history as the first British reggae group to have a top 50 entry in the UK singles chart. This led to tours in the UK and Europe but by 1971 the group had split up.

The Cats are three Scottish guys who love to play good old-fashioned rock and roll. If it’s not Andy’s rocking vocals or big old bull bass that get you moving, it will be Fraz’s flying fingers on his Gretsch guitar, or Sandy’s pounding drums
We are THE CATS and we are three rockers that love to entertain anyone who dares to stand in our way. The name of the game is Rock n Roll done the old fashioned way (the way your papa told you about). Music is all about one thing and that is ENTERTAINMENT. When we are playing and we get somethin going with our audience there is nothin better and we've had no complaints so far. They just love the Pounding Drums, Flying Guitar, Bull Bass, and Rockin Vocals. We love all our fellow cats and kittens gettin down to our sounds. As Eddie Cochrane would say Cmon Everybody!
4. http://the-cats.com/ : The CATS are an EDM project from Russia, with the symbiosis of the bass styles - Dubstep, Trap, Drum'n'Bass and Progressive. The combined forces of Olga Lucky, DJ TaraZ and Temmy Lee united as a full-on live bass music band. Th3 Cats is based on the contrasts of the band member's musics styles.

I Still Remember
The Cats Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I saw you for the first time in my life
And I still recall the moments of them all
When I felt your body next to mine
But that’s a long time ago
Yeah, that’s a long time ago
Yes, it’s a long, long time ago
Since we were together, through rains and stormy weather
We just didn’t care ‘bout time or day
We were happy then, walking hand in hand
Like children building castles in the sand
But that’s a long time ago
Yeah, that’s a long time ago
Yes, it’s a long, long time ago
But that’s a long time ago
Yeah, that’s a long time ago
Yes, it’s a long, long time ago
That we were walking down in the valley
Surrounded by flowers while sounds of birds filled the air
Up on the mountains, way in the country
No sounds of the city disturbing the peace we found here
Yes, we were walking down in the valley
Surrounded by flowers while sounds of birds filled the air
In "I Still Remember," The Cats reminisce about a past love and the beautiful memories they shared. The song is a poignant reflection on a time long gone, but still strongly remembered. The lyrics strongly suggest that time has passed, and the couple has since parted ways. However, the memories of their time together are still very much alive in the singer's mind.
The first verse mentions the first time they met and the way his lover smiled, creating an instant attraction that's still remembered vividly. The second verse talks about how carefree and happy they were together, walking hand in hand like children building castles in the sand. The lyrics describe a deep sense of happiness and belonging that has since been lost.
The bridge of the song describes them walking down in the valley, surrounded by flowers and the soothing sounds of birds singing. The natural beauty of the surroundings and the peaceful atmosphere provided the perfect backdrop for their love story. Overall, the song captures the wistful nostalgia of a past relationship and the longing for what once was.

I still remember the way that you smiled
I can vividly recall the memory of the way you smiled at me
When I saw you for the first time in my life
The memory was from the very first time that we met
And I still recall the moments of them all
I can still remember all of the moments we shared together
When I felt your body next to mine
One of those memories was the feeling of your body next to mine
But that’s a long time ago
Unfortunately, those memories are from a distant past
Since we were together, through rains and stormy weather
During our time together, we faced many obstacles and challenges
We just didn’t care ‘bout time or day
Those troubles didn't matter because we were carefree and happy
We were happy then, walking hand in hand
Our joy came from simple things like walking hand in hand
Like children building castles in the sand
Such as building castles in the sand like children do
That we were walking down in the valley
Another joyful memory we shared was walking down in the valley
Surrounded by flowers while sounds of birds filled the air
The environment surrounding us was beautiful and peaceful
Up on the mountains, way in the country
We also enjoyed spending time in the country, far away from the city
No sounds of the city disturbing the peace we found here
We valued the tranquility and silence, opposed to the noise of the city
