Die Blue Diamonds

Artist: Die Blue Diamonds
LP: 7" single
Song: "Ramona"
[ listen ]

Dutch-Indonesian brothers Ruud and Riem de Wolff formed The Blue Diamonds in 1949, shortly after moving to The Netherlands from Jakarta, Indonesia. Known as "The Dutch Everly Bothers," their version of "Ramona" peaked at #72 on the American Billboard Hot 100 singles charts in December of 1960. The song was evidently originally written for star Dolores Del Rio's promotional appearances for her film Ramona, which was released in 1928.
