Long Tall Ernie And The Shakers

Dutch Rock n Roll Revival Band

Long Tall Ernie And The Shakers was a Dutch rock and roll band that gained popularity in the 1970s. The group was known for their energetic performances and nostalgic music that paid homage to the classic rock and roll era of the 1950s and 1960s. They were particularly famous in their home country, the Netherlands, where they scored several hits. The band's frontman, Arnie Treffers, also known as Long Tall Ernie, was a charismatic figure whose stage presence contributed significantly to their success. While they are perhaps best known for their medley hits like "Do You Remember" and "Golden Years of Rock & Roll," which combined covers of various classic rock tunes into a single track, they also released original material. Their style was characterized by a blend of rockabilly, rock and roll, and pop elements. Despite their popularity in the 1970s, Long Tall Ernie And The Shakers eventually disbanded, but they left behind a legacy as one of the notable contributors to the Dutch rock scene of that era.
