“Ma Belle Amie” #5 3/14/1970

Much like Shocking Blue and “Venus,” this tune was by a Dutch group (the Tee Set), became a worldwide smash, and was also their only US hit. These Dutch acts were brought to America by Jerry Ross, who began as the staff announcer on “American Bandstand” before producing “Sunny” for Bobby Hebb. Jerry also co-wrote “I’m Gonna Make You Love Me” with Philly music legend Kenny Gamble.
