They joined with husband and wife Loulou and Tonny Willé plus Tonny’s two sisters Marianne Henson and Betty Dragstra. Loulou Willé was previously in Ricky Rendell And His Centurions, and later Sweet Reaction alongside Tonny. Sweet Reaction signed to EMI Records (Holland) and producer Eddy Hilberts changed their name to Pussycat.
