George Baker Selection
Van Wikipedia
De George Baker Selection is een Nederlandse popgroep groep die in 1967 in de Zaanstreek werd opgericht als Soul Invention. Iets meer dan een jaar later werd dat veranderd in George Baker Selection.
De groep bestond uit Hans Bouwens ("George Baker"), gitaar en leadzang); George Thé, gitaar; Jan Hop, drums; Jacques Greuter, orgel; en Martin Schoen, basgitaar. In 1974 werd de groep uitgebreid met zangeres Lida Bond.
Little green bag was de eerste grote hit. Ook Dear Ann haalde een top-10 notering. In 1975 werd Paloma Blanca de eerste wereldhit. De George Baker Selection was niet meer weg te denken uit de Nederlandse popmuziek. De groep is met de Beatles de enige popgroep die in Nederland met drie opeenvolgende singles de nummer 1 positie wist te behalen.
