Willy Derby : Ons Neerland heeft een Koningskind !

Ons Neerland heeft een Koningskind. (A child of Royal blood is born !)
( Lyrics : Ferry van Delden - Music : Kovacs Lajos)

Willy Derby, vocal
with Otto Dobrindt and his Orchestra.
Parlophon B 73014-1 149156.

When Beatrix - todays Queen of the Netherlands - was born on 31 january 1938, the whole country was celebrating her birth.
Many souvenirs of remembrance were sold and even a special song was composed and performed by Willy Derby who was one of the most popular Dutch singers of that time.
The Parlophon record company made a special designed label using the Dutch national colours to honour Beatrix her birth.
This song is recorded in Berlin in 1937 and was sold immediately after her birth in 1938.

@MB7classical

Patriotism is not always fun, it is the reason for many wars !

[amarcordeon]

As usual a fantastic vintage tune

I like always to listen this genuine genre of music and songs

Joyful composition brilliantly sung by the great Willy Derby

Thanks dear Daniel

De commercie in Nederland heeft altijd hoogtij gevierd met festiviteiten rond het Oranje huis.
