Elvis Presley
Elvis Presley Biography Elvis PresleyThe incredible Elvis life story began when Elvis Aaron Presley was born to Vernon and Gladys Presley in a two-room house in Tupelo, Mississippi, on January 8, 1935. His twin brother, Jessie Garon, was stillborn, leaving Elvis to grow up as an only child. He and his parents moved to Memphis, Tennessee, in 1948, and Elvis graduated from Humes High School there in 1953. Elvis’ musical influences were the pop and country music of the time, the gospel music he heard in church and at the all-night gospel sings he frequently attended, and the black R&B he absorbed on historic Beale Street as a Memphis teenager. In 1954, Elvis began his singing career with the legendary Sun Records label in Memphis. In late 1955, his recording contract was sold to RCA Victor. By 1956, he was an international sensation. With a sound and style that uniquely combined his diverse musical influences and blurred and challenged the social and racial barriers of the time, he ushered in a whole new era of American music and popular culture. He starred in 33 successful films, made history with his television appearances and specials, and knew great acclaim through his many, often record-breaking, live concert performances on tour and in Las Vegas. Globally, he has sold over one billion records, more than any other artist. His American sales have earned him gold, platinum or multi-platinum awards. Among his many awards and accolades were 14 Grammy nominations (3 wins) from the National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences, the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award which he received at age 36, and his being named One of the Ten Outstanding Young Men of the Nation for 1970 by the United States Jaycees. Without any of the special privileges, his celebrity status might have afforded him, he honorably served his country in the U.S. Army. His talent, good looks, sensuality, charisma, and good humor endeared him to millions, as did the humility and human kindness he demonstrated throughout his life. Known the world over by his first name, he is regarded as one of the most important figures of twentieth century popular culture. Elvis died at his Memphis home, Graceland, on August 16, 1977. .

Wim Sonneveld
Wim Sonneveld wordt samen met Toon Hermans en Wim Kan de Grote Drie van het naoorlogse Nederlandse cabaret genoemd. Wim Sonneveld was de meest veelzijdige en tijdloze cabaretier die Nederland heeft gekend. Zijn one-man shows zijn onvergetelijk dankzij diens schitterende teksten. Nog steeds zijn zijn liedjes te horen en zelfs in 2014, veertig jaar later, is er een Musical over zijn leven gemaakt. Een paar van zijn bekendste liedjes zijn: Aan de Amsterdamse Grachten, Het Dorp, Margootje en Josefien. Sonneveld heeft in zijn begintijd ook een tijd in Frankrijk opgetreden. Hij was gek op Frankrijk en kocht een boerderijtje met een kleine wijngaard in de Dordogne. Toen dit huis steeds vaker werd opgezocht door Nederlandse vakantiegangers heeft Sonneveld in Vence een vakantiehuis laten bouwen, waarvan het adres in het begin angstvallig stil werd gehouden. Sonneveld werd geboren in Utrecht waar zijn ouders een kruidenierswinkel hadden. Op 20 februari 1974 kreeg Sonneveld in de auto een hartaanval en werd opgenomen in een Amsterdams ziekenhuis. Wim Sonneveld overleed daar op 8 maart 1974 op 56-jarige leeftijd aan een tweede hartaanval.

This century has seen peaks of human knowledge; unprecedented intercourse of peoples and perhaps for the first time saw the world stand on the brink of the dilemma of one world or destruction. It is a very inspiring century, its achievements are unique.

Govert Coers
"Het is mooi geweest! Ik heb een mooi leven gehad" Dit zijn de woorden die Govert uitsprak toen hij 6 februari 2025 te horen kreeg dat hij ongeneeslijk ziek is en niet meer lang te leven heeft. De tijd die hem nog gegund is wil hij graag doorbrengen met zijn familie en enkele vrienden. Zijn vrouw Liesbeth, zijn Lotje, woont sinds medio december 2024 in een verzorgingshuis. Hij mist haar elke dag en helaas kan zij hem niet meer de steun geven, die hij juist nu zo hard nodig heeft. Daarom dit bericht aan eenieder die hem gekend heeft en wellicht mooie herinneringen met Govert samen heeft die op deze pagina gedeeld kunnen worden, zodat hij deze zelf kan lezen nu het het nog kan. Voor ons als familie biedt dit troost voor de toekomst en op deze manier komen wij nog meer over onze vader te weten. Govert wordt al heel zijn leven blij van herinneringen ophalen en foto's bekijken. Helaas kunnen er niet heel veel herinneringen meer aan worden toegevoegd, maar hoe geweldig zou het zijn als we hier met elkaar voor hem zijn 78 jaar nog een keer de revue laten passeren. We willen jullie vragen om er geen treurig verhaal van te maken of "vaarwel", "rust zacht" of "goede reis" teksten te delen, maar vooral fijne herinneringen en veel foto's. Daar geniet hij vast en zeker van. Namens Govert, zijn Lotje, en zijn kinderen en kleinkinderen, heel veel dank!

Anne Frank
Anne Frank was a German-Jewish teenager who was forced to go into hiding during the Holocaust. She and her family, along with four others, spent over two years during World War II hiding in an annex of rooms above her father’s office in Amsterdam. After being betrayed to the Nazis, Anne, her family, and the others living with them were arrested and deported to Nazi concentration camps. In March of 1945, seven months after she was arrested, Anne Frank died of typhus at Bergen-Belsen. She was fifteen years old. Since it was first published in 1947, Anne Frank’s diary has become one of the most powerful memoirs of the Holocaust. Its message of courage and hope in the face of adversity has reached millions. The diary has been translated into 67 languages with over 30 million copies sold. Anne Frank’s story is especially meaningful to young people today. For many she is their first, if not their only exposure to the history of the Holocaust. (source: The Anne Frank Center)
