Sometimes you cry - Renée

René and his Alligators were founded by René Nodelijk in the sixties. Playing mainly covers of popular rock and roll tracks, they were a hit on Dutch stages. When René met Anja Exterkate in 1976, the idea of changing the band name to Renée and his Alligators was made in due time. When the band signed to CNR Records, they shortened the band name to Renée.

They released several albums and singles between 1978 and 1983, and 'Sometimes you cry' was the last one to reach the Tipparade, the 'bubbling under' chart for the Dutch Top 40. It's an energetic, poppy track with a catchy chorus.
