Corry en de Rekels were a prominent levenslied (Dutch for "song of life") band from the Netherlands, known for their emotive and sentimental songs. The band was established in the late 1960s with lead singer Cornelia "Corry" Konings at the forefront alongside the Rekels. They quickly became a household name in the Dutch music scene with hits that tugged at the heartstrings of many, often revolving around themes of love, loss, and longing.
Throughout the 1970s, Corry en de Rekels enjoyed considerable success, releasing a string of popular albums and singles that resonated with a wide audience in the Netherlands and Belgium. Songs like "Huilen is voor jou te laat" cemented their status as icons in the Dutch music industry. Although the group underwent changes over time, with Corry Konings eventually pursuing a solo career which also proved to be highly successful, their legacy as a band remains through compilations and reissues of their music. "Het Allerbeste Van Corry en de Rekels" is one example of a collection that celebrates their enduring contributions to the genre of levenslied, reminding fans of their rich musical heritage and the emotions that their songs continue to evoke to this day.
