Dee Dee - Woman

Original by South African, Barend Joses Fourie aka Dee Dee. Produced by Mr. South African Music, Billy Forrest and Lofty Schultz.
In comms with Billy Forrest on how he discovered Dee Dee, “Wow Marq, I’m amazed that this was released in Angola. When I saw the picture of the cover you sent me, I smelled a rat! I would never have invested this type of money in an unknown singer. I am totally unaware of this being released there. I only found recently, thanks to you that several of my songs were released there, which I was not aware of. It seems Angola was a hot spot for me, if I had been made aware of it, I would have gone and performed there…
How I discovered Dee Dee, I’m amazed, because he arrived at my gate one day and said, ‘I've written some hit songs and I want you to hear them’. He handed me a tape and I thought, ‘this guy is serious’, and I liked what I heard when I played the tape, very primitive recording but there was something there. I recorded one of his songs, "Long Lonely Winter Nights", with Steve Lonsdale (Cherry CS 1001, 1978) I did "You Left me” in Afrikaans, titled "Honderd Jaar" (EMI Brigadiers BR 3168, 1979). Not sure if I recorded "You Left Me" myself, I think I did (MV – I am unable to find a recording of this track). His name was Barend Joses Fourie and he passed away about ten years ago. Doubt if he ever saw a cent in composer or artists fees, thank once more to … of SATBEL, who hi-jacked the Publishing Rights”.

Há muitos anos, nos bailes aqui na minha terra, fez grande sucesso o outro lado do disco "You left me", trazido pelos retornados. Ainda guardo o vinil.
