Biography
René Froger is a Dutch singer. He began performing in his Father’s cafe in Amsterdam, before joining with Ted de Braak and Mini en Maxi and in 1987 to release his first single, “Love Leave Me”. Major success eluded him until “Winter in America” entered the Dutch Top 40 in 1988. Later that year, he teamed up with the popular Dutch band Het Goede Doel to top the Dutch charts (#1 for three weeks in 1989) 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.
