The Blue Diamonds were an Indo (Dutch-Indonesian) duo consisting of brothers Ruud and Riem de Wolff. Formed in 1949, the Blue Diamonds rose to popularity in 1960 with their up-tempo cover of the 1928 song "Ramona," which was recorded in several languages and topped the Dutch and German charts. "Ramona" even reached #72 on the Billboard Hot 100. The duo was often dubbed "The Dutch Everly Brothers" after covering many of their hits. This video features the Blue Diamonds' 1960 covers of two Everly Brothers tunes: "Cathy's Clown" and "Till I Kissed You"

@TheHawaiianDragon Yes,but not only the Molluccans can perform or sing, also the Dutch-Indonesians(Eurasians) like Sandra Reemer, Anneke Gronloh,Tielman,etc.I don't know about Molluccan blood.I do know they were born in Jakarta(Batavia) during the WW2, and are of mixed blood: Eurasians. The Eurasians or Dutch-Indonesians have European/Dutch and Indonesian blood. Usually the Indonesian blood is Javanese but not always it can also be Molluccan,Menadonese,Sumatrese
,Chinese or a mix. -
Everlys look like drunk
-
@Londo271 : So actually were they born in the Netherlands ? Or in Indonesia ? Perhaps if they were born in the Netherlands they still have Moluccan blood ? Many Molluccans are good at singing ... .

Have only just discovered Indo Rock in the last 12 months or so and...boy...I just can't get enough of it. I doubt if many people in Australia will have heard of Andy Tielman, Johnny Lion and the other Indo Rock Artists. I would be interested to know.However, everyone enjoy..enjoy...enjoy as much as me.

No, they are not Moluccans or Ambonese, they are Eurasians(Indo Europeans or Dutch Indonesians)
2 brothers, one of them died in 2000.
-
They are Moluccans ( perhaps Ambonese ) I think ... are they still alive now ?
