Twee hartjes en twee namen - Yvette Ravell & Ronny Temmer

In 1972 Serge & Christine Ghisoland represented Belgium at the Eurovision Song Contest with 'A la folie ou pas du tout'. They represented mainly the French speaking part of the country, as they were chosen by the Walloon broadcaster. In the Flemish part of the country, Yvette Ravell and Ronny Temmer stepped in and took it upon themselves to provide a translation with this single, 'Twee hartjes en twee namen' ('Two hearts and two names').

The B-side of this single is a cover version of 'Als her om de liefde gaat', the Dutch entry from that year.

Ik ben verliefd - Ronny Temmer

Ronny Temmer (Oudenaarde, 23 April 1942) is a Flemish pop singer, who was popular during the 1960s. His name remains associated with the song 'De Ranke Roos'. This baker's son - born as Jean-Pierre De Temmerman - was initially a postman, but became a professional singer after his success in Canzonissima. Canzonissima was the biennial selection competition for participation in the Eurovision Song Contest, when it was the Flemish broadcaster's turn. 

In 1970 he recorded a Flemish version of the Luxembourg entrance to that year's Eurovision Song Contest, 'Je suis tombé du ciel'. It was translated as 'Ik ben verliefd' ('I'm in love') by Yves de Vriendt.
