About Me
Tee Set were founded by Peter Tetteroo on July 8, 1966. Their first single, "Early in the Morning", soon became a big hit, spending 10 weeks in the Dutch Top 40 Hit Parade.26 more hits, including "Don't You Leave", "Now's The Time", "Tea Is Famous", and many more classics, and many more years of success followed - they've really made a name for themselves in Holland and abroad. Peter Tetteroo has also become famous as a solo artist in his own right, having recorded a cover version of "Red Red Wine".Peter Tetteroo - singer, songwriter and instrumentalist, is responsible for penning a majority of the group's hits. Other authors include Hans van Eijck and Polle Edouard.In 1969, they recorded their biggest hit, which was also the band's breakthrough in the USA, a fantastic song, called "Ma Belle Amie". This song got to No.3 in the US charts.The single, "She Likes Weeds", was a big success in the Netherlands, but in the USA it couldn't stand a chance! Americans chose not to play this song on the radio just cause of the drug connotation the lyrics contained - they didn't really listen to the lyrics before eschewing it!"If You Do Believe In Love" was a wonderful song that came out in two different version, and became another big hit in the USA.Tee Set scored yet another hit with "Do It Baby" in 1975 - which turned out to be their last one, for a long while. Band members became involved with other projects However, the demand for the group remained quite strong throughout the 70s, and so in 1979 they made a comeback with the fabulous song, "Linda Linda" - one of their best to date!But to sustain the band and keep it alive proved, once again, too much of a task for the members, so Tee Set broke apart once again shortly thereafter. 1988 saw yet another short-lived comeback and the recording of a new song, "Hot Nights" - a beautiful track, which generated some interest and attracted some attention, but not enough to keep them going - a pity.Peter Tetteroo, R.I.P. (2002)
