Jamie - Mistral

Mistral was a studio project by Robbie van Leeuwen (ex-Shocking Blue) and Rick van der Linden (ex-Ekseption). The duo recorded three singles, and used different singers for every one of them. Sylvia van Asten sang the vocals on 'Jamie'. When this single became a hit in the Dutch Top 40 (it would eventually peak at number 15), the group was invited to perform at the popular chart show Toppop. Two dancers were clad in ridiculous insect suits, but the whole routine looked incrediby stupid.

It was one of the reasons that led to me disliking the song. (Sometimes it happens that way.) Thankfully, I changed my mind two decades later.

My collection: 7" single no. 2851
Found: Disco Market, Den Haag, June 21, 1997
Cost: 1 guilder
Tracks: 'Jamie' / 'Nectar'
