About René Froger

He was born and spent his first years in the Jordaan, a neighbourhood in Amsterdam. His father, Bolle Jan, had a cafe that Froger started performing in. He began with Ted de Braak and Mini en Maxi and in 1987 he released his first single, Love Leave Me. Major success eluded him until Winter in America entered the Dutch Top 40. Later that year, he teamed up with the popular Dutch band Het Goede Doel to top the Dutch charts with Alles kan een mens gelukkig maken (Everything can make a man happy). A song for which in particular the refrain starting with Een eigen huis, een plek onder de zon (A private home, a place under the sun) morphed into a community sing-a-long evergreen. From 1989 on, he has released more singles, with mixed results. He started the tour "Pure & More" in Amsterdam Arena, the stadium occupied by his favourite football team Ajax. In 1997 he made a song with female singer Anita Doth who was part of the world famous group 2 Unlimited. The song was called "That's when I stop loving you" In 2005, he was diagnosed prostate cancer that resulted in several complications. In the same year, he stated collaborating with Gerard Joling and Gordon in the opportunity formation De Toppers. Rene represented the Netherlands at the Eurovision Song Contest 2009 in Moscow as part of De Toppers. His daughter Natascha got married on 21 April 2006 and she gave birth to his first grandchild on 23 October 2006.
