George Baker (born Johannes Bouwens, 8 December 1944) is a Dutch singer and songwriter who, with his band George Baker Selection, scored two international hits in the 1970s, "Paloma Blanca" and "Little Green Bag". He is now a solo artist. Little Green Bag is used as the opening soundtrack for the movie Reservoir Dogs.
Childhood
Bouwens was born 8 December 1944, the child of a Dutch woman and an Italian soldier who ended up in the Netherlands during World War 2 as a prisoner of war. His father was killed while attempting to escape, before Bouwens was born. He was raised in Hoorn, in a working class neighborhood, with only a radio and a stack of books to keep him company after all his friends moved on to better neighborhoods. His musical idol was Elvis.
George Baker (10 February 1885 – 8 January 1976) was an English singer. He is remembered for singing on thousands of gramophone records in a career that spanned 53 years, beginning in 1909. He is especially associated with the comic baritone roles in recordings of the Gilbert & Sullivan operas.
Early life and career
George Baker, also known as George Portland (and other recording pseudonyms), was born in Birkenhead, the son of Walter Baker and his wife, Elizabeth, née Sanders. He studied violin, flute and piano as a child. At the age of 16, he served as organist and choirmaster at the Woodford Parish Church in Cheshire. He did the same at two churches in Birkenhead between 1903 and 1906. Baker studied singing with John Acton and won a scholarship to the Royal College of Music. There he studied with Gustave Garcia and was awarded a Patron Funds Grant to continue his vocal studies in Milan in 1914. He was married three times: first to pianist/conductor Grace Lilian Bryant (1871–1955), from 1911 until their divorce in 1922, then to singer Kathlyn Hilliard, who died in 1933, and then to Olive Groves, another singer and teacher, who died in 1974.
Father Divine (c. 1876–September 10, 1965), also known as Reverend M. J. Divine, was an African Americanspiritual leader from about 1907 until his death. His full self-given name was Reverend Major Jealous Divine, and he was also known as "the Messenger" early in his life. He founded the International Peace Mission movement, formulated its doctrine, and oversaw its growth from a small and predominantly black congregation into a multiracial and international church.
Father Divine claimed to be God. Some contemporary critics also claimed he was a charlatan, and some suppose him to be one of the first modern cult leaders. However, Father Divine made numerous contributions toward his followers' economic independence and racial equality. Father Divine was a contemporary of other religious leaders at that time such as Daddy Grace, Charles Harrison Mason, Noble Drew Ali and James F. Jones, also known as Prophet Jones. Another minister by the name of Jones would play a significant part in a brief struggle to gain control of the Peace Mission following Divine's death - Jim Jones, leader of the "apostolic socialist" movement Peoples Temple.

George Baker Selection - Paloma Blanca (1975) 4K
The George Baker Selection performing "Paloma Blanca", released originally in 1975.
It reached #1 in Austria, Finland, Flanders, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, and Switzerland.
"Paloma Blanca" was the title track of the fifth album by The George Baker Selection. Running to just under three and a half minutes, and backed by "Dreamboat," the single was a big hit in many countries.
The title of this song translates as "White Dove", although it is perhaps better known as "Una Paloma Blanca" ("One White Dove"). Written by the Dutch singer-songwriter Johannes Bouwens, it has been both widely recorded and a popular choice for budding musicians.

In addition to "Una Paloma Blanca", which became a worldwide hit, the band also had other successful songs such as "Little Green Bag" and "Morning Sky". Despite several lineup changes and a decline in popularity in the late 1970s, George Baker Selection continued to perform and release music throughout the 1980s and 1990s. Their music remains popular today, and George Baker is considered a pioneer of Dutch pop music.
