The recent reissue of Herinnering, the 1985 iconic album by Bonnie St. Claire and José Hoebee (including ABBA songs performed in Dutch) has recently been mentioned on the website of the Dutch gay lifestyle magazine Winq.nl. Click here to read the article about Bonnie & José's LP considered as a "guilty pleasure".
Yesterday, José gave a phone interview on Volgspot, a program hosted by Astrid de Jong on KRO-NCRV/NPO Radio 5 to promote the new edition of Herinnering. "Bonnie and I are friends. We spent ski holidays with our husbands in Austria. Bonnie and I were singing The Way Old Friends Do by ABBA accompanied on guitar. My husband, Will, who was a record producer, said that our voices blended very well together," José explained. When asked who sang Frida and Agnetha's part, the singer answered: "It's funny. Bonnie is blonde so she was supposed to sing Agneta's part and I am dark-haired so I should have sung Frida's part. But it didn't happen this way. Bonnie's voice is close to Frida's vocals. My voice is close to Agneta's one". The ex-Luv' lady also discussed the TV special in Sweden that is included on the DVD. Björn Ulvaeus of ABBA appeared on this show to congratulate Bonnie & José on their LP. José told she was proud of the re-release thanks to Franklin van Liempt's initiative. After the interview, Ligt Dat Aan Jou Of Aan Mij (the Dutch cover of ABBA's Why Did It Have To Be Me) was played.
