René Froger (born 5 November 1960 in
Amsterdam), is a Dutch singer.[1][2]
Froger was born, and spent his first years in the
Jordaan, a neighbourhood in
Amsterdam. His father,
Bolle Jan, had a café where Froger started performing. He started his career working with
Ted de Braak and
Mini en Maxi and in 1987 he released his first single, Love Leave Me.
Major success eluded him until his song Winter in America entered the Dutch Top 40 in 1988 (10 years after Australian folk Musician
Doug Ashdown's original had done so).[3] Later that year, he teamed up with the popular Dutch band
Het Goede Doel to top the Dutch charts (#1 for three weeks in 1989) with Alles kan een mens gelukkig maken (Everything can make a man happy). A song for which in particular the refrain starting with Een eigen huis, een plek onder de zon (your own home, a place under the sun) morphed into a community sing-a-long evergreen.
Since 1989 he has released more singles, with mixed results.
He started the tour "Pure & More" in
Amsterdam Arena, the stadium occupied by his favourite football team
Ajax.
In 1997 he recorded a song with female singer
Anita Doth who was part of the world-famous group
2 Unlimited. The song's title was "That's when I stop loving you"
