Frank Boeijen

Frank Boeijen (born 27 November 1957 in Nijmegen) is a Dutch singer and guitarist. His best known songs are ''Kronenburg Park (Ga die Wereld Uit)'' about a prostitute, ''Zwart Wit'' about the racial murder of Kerwin Duinmeijer in Amsterdam and ''Twee gezichten'' about a split personality. Having been in the music business for 25 years, he received the Edison award for his career achievements in 2005.
== Biography ==
Boeijen released his first album in 1979, a joint effort with Wout Pennings produced by singer Rob de Nijs. From 1980 onwards he fronted the Frank Boeijen Groep; they released their self-titled debut album in 1981 to critical acclaim (''OOR'' magazine was impressed by Boeijen's Herman van Veen-like voice). The breakthrough came in 1983 with the album ''1001 Hotel'', featuring the Motown-inspired singles ''Het antwoord'' en ''Linda''; the latter reached top 10. 1984 began with the release of ''Zwart Wit'', originally intended to chronicle a white Romeo/black Juliet-relationship it became a statement against the racist murder of Kerwin Duinmeijer. 1985's ''Foto van een mooie dag'' had ''Kronenburg Park'' as its second single, assisted by the voices of R&B girl group Mai Tai. It wasn't the first time that Boeijen sang about a prostitute, as the debut album's ''Transport uit Bangkok'' portrayed a girl whose name translates as ''Goldflower'' (Dutch: ''"Gouden Bloem"''). ''Kronenburg Park'' was also released in English as ''Round Midnight'' with lyrics penned by Golden Earring-frontman Barry Hay (''"You've always been the mistress of bad luck, making love for another lousy buck"''). 1986 proved to be a turnaround year for the band; they gradually moved away from the pompous sound that dominated the last three albums and traded the club circuit for theatres, thus becoming pioneers. In 1990 the ten-year-anniversary was celebrated by releasing the live-retrospective ''Hier komt de storm'' (plus a few new studio-tracks including the Dylan-tribute ''Robert Zimmerman'') and staging a major tour. This was to be their last and by mid-1991 Frank Boeijen Groep disbanded. Boeijen is a solo-artist since doing successful tours in both the Netherlands and Belgium.
