Massively popular Amsterdam based funk-disco band Spargo scored hit after hit in the ‘80s with songs like You and Me (1980), Head Up To The Sky (1980), One Night Affair (1981), Just for You (1981) and Hip Hap Hop (1982). The band released four albums: Good Time Spirit (1980), Go (1981), Hold On (1982) and Step by Step (1984).Debut single You and Me (written by Driessen) went on to be 1980’s best-selling record in the Netherlands, going gold and platinum after reaching the top spot in the Dutch charts and winning a prestigious Edison award for Best Single. International recognition for the song and the band came soon after, with topping the charts in Italy (a gold record and winning the Gondola d’Oro award), Belgium, Iceland, Peru and Surinam and scoring highly in Germany, Spain and Austria amongst other countries.2018 saw Driessen’s daughter Jazzi Bobbi remix the band’s first hit You and Me. The song provided the basis for a major Vodafone TV commercial and online campaign, airing late 2018, with its mini-documentary “You And Me” (showing part of the creative process of this remix) getting more than 4 million YouTube views to date. Following this, You and Me re-entered the yearly broadcasted national Top 2000 of all time. 2019 gets off to a great start with the release of ‘Just for You and Me, The Greatest Hits Collection’. An ode to the band with “that tall bloke and the little girl” and their infectious songs.
