- Although he had already made a solo album using a pseudonym, Henny Vrienten started to become really popular when he entered the Dutch band Doe Maar. He and Ernst Jansz, looking younger than their actual 32 years, became teen idols. The popularity, resulting in fainting girls during sold-out mega-concerts, became too much for the band, and when publicity stopped and with diminishing number of concerts, the band members decided to split up in 1984. Vrienten now works more as a producer and a maker of film music. He still makes solo-albums, but keeps publicity down.
