Willy Sommers

Through the 1971 launch of his breakthrough hit “Zeven Anjers, Zeven Rozen,” Flemish schlager singer Willy Sommers has reigned as his region’s most iconic singer and television host. He started his profession in the middle-’60s having a few rock and roll bands (like the Sons of Abraham as well as the Yeats) before developing a collaboration with maker Roland Verlooven to be probably one of the most well-known solo artists within the Flemish pop picture. “Zeven Anjers, Zeven Rozen,” spent 19 weeks at number 1, and after producing inroads in France, Germany, and Spain, he produced the to begin several looks at Schlagerfestival. Carrying on to score TOP singles through the entire ’80s, Sommers after that branched into tv as the sponsor from the music display Tien Om Te Zien. He continued to be a push in the documenting sphere, however, frequently charting in Belgium with each recording and seemingly more popular with each launch. In 2011, he celebrated the 40th wedding anniversary of his most well-known music with 40 Jaar Strikes, a career-spanning compilation that amazingly reached number 2. Both 2013’s Pluk de Dag and 2015’s Gisteren Wordt Vandaag spent amount of time in the very best Ten, and Sommers also reached the very best Ten from the singles graph with “Jij Bent Zo Mooi,” a 2014 one documented with Flemish pop group De Romeo’s. Het Erfgoed Truck Willy Sommers, a 2016 compilation and reserve that centered on the 1972-1982 period (his initial decade being a hitmaker), reached number 1 in Belgium in 2016.
