In 2007 Greetje celebrates her 50th anniversary as a singer. On this occasion her richly illustrated biography titled "Was für Tage" was published in German. Unfortunately there is no English version as of yet.
In the book you can read how she became the lead singer for the Skymasters being only 16 years old at the time. How she pursued a career as a pop singer in Germany.
More details about her ventures in the United States and how she became a world-class jazz-star after returning to the Netherlands.
Greetje still performs regularly and never fails to amaze her audience.
