Boudewijn de Groot (1944) is one of Netherlands's most famous singers, songwriters and composers. De Groot met lyrics writer Lennaert Nijgh (1945-2002) during high school and in 1964 he recorded some of their songs, but success stayed out. Also an album with covers and own songs (1965) didn't do much.
In 1966 they released the album For the survivors/Voor de overlevenden, with songs Lennaert Nijgh wrote about his childhood and early loves (with songs like 'Testament' and 'Drowned butterfly'/'Verdronken vlinder'). It was an immense success, they won a Platinum Record and an Edison Music Award. In 1968 they released the hippie-album Picknick, with psychedelic lyrics and music, with songs like 'Eva' and 'Prikkebeen'.
In the following decades, De Groot produced many records and wrote songs for other artists (like Rob de Nijs, Hans de Booij and Henny Vrienten), besides own singles and records, and he played the leading role in the musical Tsjechov (1991-1993).

In 1996 he worked again with Lennaert Nijgh, leading to the album A new autumn/Een nieuwe herfst. One of Boudewijn de Groot's greatest hits was above song 'Evening'/'Avond' (1996), about a couple who start living together. It was written by Lennaert Nijgh in 1973 for his wife at that time Anja. Later Boudewijn de Groot married this same Anja (in 1995, Nijgh was his best man). After his marriage, De Groot wrote new music for the song and recorded it in 1996.
The song has been the most popular Dutch song for most editions of the Top 2000 (traditionally broadcasted on the radio the last week of the year). It ended at the number one position of the ranking in 2005 - making it the only song in the Dutch language that was voted at the top of this list (for the most years Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody was number one).
