"I began singing during the late 70’s with a Funk / Rock band called LUXOR, in 1978. There were no plans, or inspiration, at first to become a singer, but a friend, who was the drummer of LUXOR, asked me to stand in for their female singer – who’d left the band suddenly. That’s when I came in and that’s how my career in music took off."

(Richenel, nome d'arte di Hubertus Richenel Baars, cantante; Amsterdam, 20 aprile 1957 – Amsterdam, 13 marzo 2020)
