Career history

The duo consisted of Goldy ( vocals ) and Peter de Vries (vocals, accordion ). The label Polydor signed the Dutch duo. In 1949 the German cover version of She'll Be Coming 'Round the Mountain was published under the title From the blue mountains we come . The song was rewritten in German by Heinz Woezel and Peter de Vries. The shellac record was published in an edition of 100,000 pieces. The song became a huge hit and is featured in numerous song books today. Together with Caprifischer by Rudi Schuricke , it ushered in a wave of post-war hits that focused on Western motifs or Italian romanticism.
