Earth and Fire are legends of the Dutch rock scene, first making an impression with their debut single in 1969. They quickly established themselves as an international act thanks to the excellence of their material and the powerful vocals of Jerney Kaagman.
In 1971 the band released arguably their finest work, “Song of the Marching Children”, a Mellotron soaked masterpiece that was a major selling album throughout Europe.
