After 60 Years, Golden Earring are Callin' It A Day!
George Kooymans has been diagnosed with
ALS (a.k.a. Lou Gehrig’s Disease)...
And, Well the Other Band Members Won't Go On Without Him!
You Can Read More About It Below:
and
George, at age 13 (Along with Rinus Gerritsen, age 15)
Started the Band...
As The Golden Earrings...
That was in 1961!
To Put It More In Perspective...
1961 Was:
A Year Before The Rolling Stones would Form...
A Year Before "Love Me Do" was Released in the U.K....
The Year The Berlin Wall was built...
The Year Yuri Gagarin Became the 1st Human in Space...
The Year Pampers, the first disposable diaper, was introduced...
They Then Released Their First Single and Album in 1965...
And, As They say...The Rest Is History!
Here's a Great Rockpalast Concert!
(And One of Their Hardest Rockin' Shows!)
It's The Audio from the DVD...
Thank You, George, For ALL the Great Music!
