Burning heart - Vandenberg

Ad van den Berg formed the Dutch band Vandenberg in 1982 with Bert Heerink, Dick Kemper and Jos Zoomer. They recorded a demo that fell into the hands of pop journalist Kees Baars. He offered to manage the band and managed to get them a contract with Atlantic Records in the USA.

Their debut single was the power ballad 'Burning heart', which reached number 39 in the US Billboard Hot 100 chart. In the Netherlands, the track only did slightly better, peaking at number 19 in the Dutch Top 40.

My collection: 7" single no. 682
Found: Disco Market, Den Haag, November 12, 1988
Cost: 1 guilder
Tracks: 'Burning heart' / 'Out in the streets'
