Artist Portrait

André Brasseur

org, *1939 BE, Jemeppe-sur-Sambre
Musician of Jazz and Pop
A.k.a. André Emile Ghislain Brasseur J. Diabollo

Organist and keyboard player, born 11/12/1939 in Ham-sur-Sambre, Belgium. Has released many albums and singles in his own country, but internationally is best known for his double A sided single The Kid / Holiday, which was released on the CBS label in the UK. Though it never reached the UK charts, The Kid became popular in the famous Northern Soul venue The Twisted Wheel, based in Manchester, and DJ Noel Edmonds used Holiday as the theme tune to his Radio 1 programme in the 1970s. In the same period at Radio Veronica, a Dutch pirate radio, DJ Lex Harding used The Kid as the opening sequence to his daily afternoon broadcast program. Brasseur is also famous for his 1965 instrumental single 'Early Bird' (named after the satellite launched the same year), which sold over 6 million copies worldwide.
