Summary: Seemed Made For The Adult Contemporary Charts ... But
Comment: If ever a group seemed custom made for success on the Billboard Adult Contemporary [AC] charts, formed in 1961, it was this pop congregation from Holland which had actually started out in 1967 under the name Soul Invention. Led by Johannes Bouwens, and including Jan Hop, George The, Jan Gerbrand Viser, and Jacobus Anthonius Greuter, they had their first North American hit in the spring of 1970 when Little Green Bag peaked at # 21 on the Billboard Pop Hot 100 b/w Pretty Little Dreamer for the Colussus label.
A couple of months later they had switched gears to some degree with Dear Ann which, more in the nature of a country tune, just barely made the Hot 100, settling in at # 93 in late June b/w Fly. The failure of Little Green Bag to dent the Adult Contemporary charts, being more in the nature of a late 1960s psychedelic-rock tune, is understandable, but Dear Ann seemed tailor made for the type of music being played at that time on the Easy Listening stations.
So too did many of their following singles through to 1974 which, although doing well in their native Holland and other parts of Europe, were shut out completely in North America - cuts like Midnight, Over And Over, Nathalie, Mamma Oh Mamma, Holy Day, I'm On My Way, Marie Jeanne, Baby Blue, [Fly Away] Little Paraguayo, and Sing A Song Of Love.
All that seemed to change in late 1975 when, now with Warner, and with female vocalist Nelleke Brzoskowsky added, they took Paloma Blanca [White Dove] to # 1 Adult Contemporary and # 26 Hot 100 in December 1975/January 1976 b/w Dreamboat. But then, once again, their success was confined primarily to Holland with releases like Morning Sky, Wild Bird, Manana Mi Amor, Beautiful Rose, and Marja, none of which impacted over here. They also sold numerous LPs throughout Europe and, with a rapid turnover in personnel, continued on into the 1980s before disbanding.
It figures that Disky of Holland would feature this group in more than one compilation, but they have to understand that, if they wish to see significant sales in North America they have to include both sides to their Billboard hits and less of the stuff that made no impact here whatsoever.

Summary: Little Green Bag
Comment: The sound quality is great on the whole CD, and this particular song is such a happy tune that it can turn a bad day into a good one just by listening to it.

Summary: George Baker Selection
Comment: While the music is good Paloma Blanca is by far the best followed by Little Green Bag. The rest are only a listen to now and then .

Editorial Reviews:

The Dutch Guitarist was Part of a Mini Dutch Invasion of the Early 1970's (Along with Tee Set and Shocking Blue) and Hit with "Little Brown Bag", but it Wasn't Until 1975 that He Hit Big with "Una Paloma Blanca", Adopted by the Disco Set Before Disco Went Mainstream. This Disc Compiles his Best Material on a Single Volume.
