It is with sadness that we learned earlier today of the passing of the Dutch record producer and songwriter Hans van Hemert, Maestro of Dutch pop (Mouth & MacNeal, Sandra & Andres, Vulcano, Q65, American Gypsy, Kamahl, André Hazes, Glennis Grace). This charming and talented man launched Luv' with Piet Souer in 1976. Under his guidance, the Dutch female trio reached great fame. The ladies of Luv' (including Marga Scheide, José Hoebee, Patty Brard, Ria Thielsch and Chimène Van Oosterhout), along with the fans and administrators of the Official Luv' fan page, send their deepest condolences to Hans' family and friends. We will never forget him.
REST IN PEACE, DEAR HANS.

I'll post a detailed article about Hans' remarkable career later this week or next week.
