Click <a href="https://www.npo3.nl/het-beste-van-disco/31-03-2021/AT_300000950" target="_blank">here</a> to watch it.

Excerpts from TV appearances by disco artists were shown (including archives from <b><span style="color: #800180;">AVRO's TopPop</span></b>). Even though disco was passé in the early 1980s, its influence never really disappeared. Disco later changed into Hi-NRJ, House Music, Dance Music, Nu-Disco and EDM. In recent years, artists like <b><span style="color: #800180;">Daft Punk, Cher, Madonna, Kylie Minogue, Bruno Mars</span></b> and <b><span style="color: #800180;">Dua Lipa</span></b> released material highly inspired by disco music.

I've tried to solve the problem so many times in different ways. But she hasn't reacted yet. I tried to call her husband <b><span style="color: #800180;">Anne-Jan</span></b> and her managers, but it didn't help. A couple of months ago, I heard that she wanted to get in touch with me. But after the publication of her biography and her promotion work, she was supposed to call me earlier this month. I'm patient.

Maybe <b><span style="color: #800180;">Eva</span></b> wonders the same. She probably knows that I have the same last name. Maybe she doesn't know it as I always used the names of my husbands. I first used the name of <b><span style="color: #800180;">Marteen Andreoli, </span></b>with whom I was married from 1974 to 1980.
