Об исполнителе:
The Ricocks were a duo formed late 1969, early 1970 in Leiderdorp. The name is a combination of the first names of members Rinus (Ri) Wesselink and Cock de Graaf. The duo were moderately successful in their neck of the woods but after their single 'Meisje met je gouden hart / Kom terug bij mij' failed to make an impression with record buyers gradually their enthusiasm and ambitions floundered. Around the same time a British expat working for BP explained to the duo the word of the meaning 'cock'. That was the final straw for Cock de Graaf who immediately retreated from The Ricocks. Rinus Wesselink found replacement for Cock in Nico de Jong and the new formation was successively renamed The Lenco's. Meanwhile Cock de Graaf made a appeal to the Dutch government to change his first name, which was granted in 1972.
