Ma Belle Amie had been recorded on eight tracks in the Soundpush studio in 1969. Drummer Joop Blom twisted his ankle during a break, so Peter Tetteroo had to finish playing the drum part. Franklin Madjid played bass, Hans van Eijck piano and organ. Dihl Bennink originally played acoustic guitar, but Peter Tetteroo wasn't satisfied with his performance so Hans van Eijck, who had co-written Ma Belle Amie, decided to play the part instead.
In 1969 the American producer Jerry Ross came to Europe. He was building up his own label, which would be christened Colossus. During his travels he decided to release Ma Belle Amie in the USA. There were many accounts of how the signing of various Dutch groups -- Shocking Blue, Tee-Set and George Baker Selection -- came about. Journalist Oscar van der Kroon heard Peter Tetteroo's version some years later: "One of our fans from Delft took the record with him to Switzerland and had it played in a discotheque. The American record producer Jerry Ross was there at the time and it grabbed his attention. He came to the Netherlands and enquired about us via Jan van Veen of Radio Veronica." Because Ross insisted on recording Ma Belle Amie in stereo, Shocking Blue's Venus was released in the USA first. "When Venus shot to the top of the US charts we started to believe that we could be a success, too."
At the beginning of March 1970 Henk van der Meyden announced in the Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf that three Dutch groups had made it into the American hit parade. Ma Belle Amie finally reached the number three position. It was the first time ever that Dutch music had achieved this sort of success in the USA. Hans Kellerman, director of Negram, the Tee-Set's recording company, explained why: "The famous beat groups that had dominated the American hit parades for many, many years had become so experimental that they were really only making music for themselves. Their records now missed that elusive, intangible quality that had appealed to the mass audience." The Dutch groups had a 'happy sound'; their singles caught on with the young public.
Ma Belle Amie werd op acht sporen in de Soundpush-studio opgenomen. Tijdens een pauze verstuikte de toenmalige drummer Joop Blom zijn enkel. Peter Tetteroo moest de drumpartij voltooien. Franklin Madjid speelde bas, Hans van Eijck piano en orgel. In eerste instantie speelde Dihl Bennink akoestische gitaar. Zijn spel werd door producer Peter Tetteroo evenwel niet goed genoeg bevonden. Hans van Eijck, de componist van Ma Belle Amie, besloot die partij over te spelen.
In 1969 kwam de Amerikaan Jerry Ross naar Europa. Hij was in de weer met een eigen label dat Colossus gedoopt zou worden. Tijdens zijn reis besloot hij Ma Belle Amie in de VS uit te brengen. Over het contracteren van de Nederlandse groepen Shocking Blue, Tee-Set en George Baker Selection deden heel wat verschillende verhalen de ronde. Journalist Oscar van der Kroon hoorde de versie van Peter Tetteroo enkele jaren later: "Eén van onze fans uit Delft nam de plaat mee naar Zwitserland en liet de single in een discotheek draaien. Daar was ook de Amerikaanse platendirecteur Jerry Ross aanwezig en die was onmiddellijk geïnteresseerd. Hij kwam naar Nederland en informeerde via Jan van Veen van Radio Veronica naar ons." Omdat Ross erop stond de single in stereo uit te brengen werd eerst Venus van Shocking Blue in de VS uitgebracht. "Toen Venus het begon te maken, gingen wij er ook in geloven. Ma Belle Amie bereikte in Amerika de derde plaats."
Op 6 maart 1970 kon Henk van der Meyden in de Telegraaf melden dat drie vaderlandse groepen de Amerikaanse hitlijsten hadden gehaald. Zoiets was nog nooit vertoond. Hans Kellerman, directeur van Negram, de platenmaatschappij van de Tee-Set: "De befaamde beatgroepen die jarenlang de Amerikaanse hitparades hebben beheerst, zijn nu zó experimenteel geworden dat zij te veel muziek maken voor zichzelf. Ze missen dat wat hun platen bij het grote publiek zo prettig in het gehoor doet liggen." De Nederlandse groepen hadden een 'happy sound', een fris geluid. Dat soort singles sloeg bij een jong publiek aan.

Sooooo sweet!!! I used to sing this to my white French toy poodle, Bacardi, when I was 12! Remember it like it was was just yesterday.
A great song! News of the passing of Peter Tetteroo is truly sad .He had a amazing voice
Oh I'm sorry. This song left good memories of not particularly a great year.
This band were just wonderful and my wasn't Peter Tetteroo just gorgeous with a voice to match! So sad to hear of Peter's passing in 2002.
Love the bass in this tune. Outstanding.
i love him he is so cute and boy can he sing
wowwww, this is a great video in good quality !!!! Also the music ! Centertainment music, THANKS for posting !
Heb deze clip weleens meer gezien, maar nog nooit zo goed als in deze kwaliteit !
Ook de muziek klinkt fantastisch !
WHAT A GREAT SONG IM A CHILD OF THE SUN
Love this band. Wish you had a compilation of their videos and appearances available on U.S. dvd format! Would love to see so much more Tee Set!
Oh man, vintage pony on top of a great song and fun video. Have to remember to watch this next time I need a lift. Thanks for posting, this is a gem.
always liked this song, hey that's a 65 stang, cool.
Takes me back to time when I was a boy
Leuke video! Amsterdam toen het nog Amsterdam was..en die Mustang op t eind..mooi hoor! En een topnummer niet te vergeten...
De goede oude tijd. Mooie oude beelden van Delft.
VERY sad when You do a google search of someone to see where they are today and You find out they passed away at a Young age!!
Second hit of the brief "Dutch Invasion" of 1970 (all issued on Colossus Records) The first was of course Venus and after this came Little Green Bag by the George Baker Selection. Remember all three quite fondly.
Awesome research Mark, I remember 'em too. The Tee Set and The Shocking Blue were U.S. One-Hit Wonders. I think George Baker Selection would have been too with "Little Green Bag" had it not been for "Paloma Blanca" which I remember was huge all over Europe when I lived there in the mid-'70s (U.S. #26 Jan/76). Alas, "Paloma Blanca" made the Selection a British One-Hit Wonder (not that there's anything wrong with that)
Don't forget Mouth and MacNeal.
The duo of Mouth & MacNeal were also Dutch and had a sweet little hit in the USA with "How Do You Do" in late summer of 1972. So was Golden Earring and their songs Radar Love & Twilight Zone are always heard on classic rock stations here.
Mark Muffs Don't forget the progressive rock band Focus. They made some great music, but most only remember their one hit "Hocus Pocus.
Dean Evangelista Oh never! Hocus Pocus was one of my favorite songs of my high school years. It came in the spring of 1973---fun days!
Great song, good attempt at a very very early music video. Anybody catch the right-hand drive Mustang? In the subsequent scenes, they flopped the film so it looked like a left-hand drive! Mustangs don't spin the left rear wheel on hard acceleration! Weird. Oh, yeah, there's a pretty blonde in those scenes too! Great vid, thanks for posting.
The lead singer has to have one of the best voices of all time.
Excellente!
The group looked a little embarrassed to shoot the video but little did they know how important music videos would become.
+Ruben Delgadillo That seems to be a common affliction with early promo videos (and Scopitones and Soundies as well.)
simplesmente espetacular....lindo .....Taubat´e SP -Brazil
Goede en mooie muziek l
Doet me denken aan die goede oude tijd van vroeger
Mijn jeugd centiment
Leuke gozer Peter tetteroo
his song appears in my new short story FRENCH CLASS, set @ Punahou School in Honolulu during the 1970s.
I have no idea when or where I heard this song, however, to me its beautiful, and sort of tragic, I love this song...
ALL CAPS!!! ONE GREAT SONG!!!!!!!!!
Check out "She Likes Weeds." The song was banned in the US; a Euro hit for Tee Set.
Adoro essa banda.
9 Sep 2002 : Peter Tetteroo (lead singer for The Tee Set) dies from liver cancer in Delft, Netherlands, at age 55.
Brian Parker Oh God, I'm so sorry on knowing this; He was too young yet, I love his voice. This hit reminds me to the70s, when I was just a boy; I've looked for this during years, now I've finaly found it. Can you please tell me why Dutchmen like to sing in French? Thanks for your kindness. Hugs from a Brazilian friend. D.Araujo.

Amsterdam 1969

Kindiogami Lake Driving In In Northen Outiario Canada I First Head The Son At 2 Tone Tussie's Gas Station & Restrunt In Thissleon Ontario Canada On King's Hiway 17-B,East Eh. Back 1970
Amsterdam in 1969 must have been exciting times today though the lead singer is dead.
Ok, so Paul McCartney has NOTHING to do with this song? I've always loved this song, but I thought that was Paul singing background. All the digging around, and his name's never mentioned. Anyone else hearing it? Oy, I'm losin' it, lol. =-P
I love the song as well. But Procol Harum had a bit more influence on it then Paulie Mac.
There's a guy who does not look like his voice.
Looking back now at the hair styles and clothing of the 60's and 70's it was totally stupid and strikingly ridiculous, can't believe I did all that and survived to talk about it.
opnamens gemaakt in amsterdam zo te zien
