I DO NOT OWN THIS VIDEO. © (c)Copyright belongs to the rightful owner Rob de Nijs (born December 26, 1942, Amsterdam) is a Dutch singer and actor, active since the 1960s.De Nijs, backed by The Lords, released his first single in 1962, Ritme van de Regen. In 1966 he embarked on a joint circus-tour with Johnny Lion. Meanwhile, The Lords signed their own record-deal at another label forcing them to split from De Nijs.De Nijs performed at small venues, worked as a bartender for a living and launched failed attempts to keep up with the zeitgeist. He only made the headlines by marrying his girlfriend Elly in 1968 and landing into hospital through a carcrash of his own fault.In 1969 De Nijs took part in the Dutch heat of the Eurovision Song Contest and through the Sajensfiksjen-musical he landed himself a role in children's TV-series Oebele. This was followed in 1972 by Hamelen in which he played Betram Bierenbroodspot.Singer Boudewijn de Groot and songwriter Lennaert Nijgh helped De Nijs relaunching his singing-career; in 1973 he was back in the charts with Jan Klaassen de Trompetter.The hits continued through 1975-76, notably Malle Babbe and Zet Een Kaars Voor Je Raam. In 1977 De Nijs released Tussen Zomer en Winter, a concept-album chronicling a seasonal transition and featuring a translation of Lou Reed's Perfect Day.In 1980 De Nijs met Belinda Meuldijk who gave up her own singing-career (after releasing a one-off single the previous year) to become his chief-songwriter and his second wife (they married in 1984). The first efforts of their collaboration were collected on Met Je Ogen Dicht (Eyes Wide Shut); it spawned the single Zondag. In 1981 De Nijs released De Regen Voorbij.
