Came to Holland in 1949 together with his family. After school time he
performed with his brother Riem several times and even made a few
studio recordings. In 1960 they made their first hit called Ramona a
cover from the Everly Brothers. This became a number one hit in
Holland, Belgium, Switzerland, Austria, France, Spain, Germany, Japan,
Thailand and Indonesia. They covered many of the Everly Brothers songs.
Got an Edison award for the song Ramona of which seven million copies
were sold. The Blue Diamonds were one of the few bands in the world
where only death of one of the members could took it apart. They stood
on top of the Dutch music scene for 40 years and far beyond its
borders. On the eighteenth of December, Ruud de Wollf died, not very
long after the group's last appearance on the third of November in the
year 2000. Thus ending one of the most successful Dutch pop
bands.
