Pussycat - Mississippi • TopPop

Pussycat was a Dutch pop group from Brunssum in Limburg led by the three Kowalczyk sisters: Toni, Betty and Marianne. Other members of the band were Lou Willé (Toni's then-husband), Theo Wetzels, Theo Coumans, and John Theunissen. The band had four international hits in a row in the mid-seventies: Mississippi (1975), Georgia (1976), Smile (1976) and My broken souvenirs (1977) and then a series of hit singles in the Netherlands and Belgium. Mississippi was number 1 the Netherlands and in another 15 countries but was not hit in the US, where that river originates. 'Mississippi' achieved 22 gold records. It is estimated that "Mississippi" sold over five million copies worldwide. Most of of Pussycat's songs were written by Werner Theunissen.
This Toppop recording was made during the special 10th Edition of Toppop in 1980!

you are so right

[@richardbrown1189]

My goodness, I haven't heard that in decades. I remember it was all over the radio and playing on every jukebox in 1976.

[@chiamakao8560]

It was and I remember hearing this in my dads vauxhall viva as we drove up the M1 during our summer school hols. F>>K..G fantastic song ..unforgettable memories. Pussycat🙏🏽😍

What a lovely song and gentle memories. My mum bought it in 76 and it was on our record player most days for weeks.

[@donnelson4928]

Beautiful ladies

[@davidarmson3575]

Good music on the day .

[@cricketbat09]

Surprised that this was never a hit in the US. It was a massive hit here in the UK, it was heard everywhere.

[@racheldass9043]

@Harry Mitchell I never get tired of listening, it's funny I got craving

[@sharib.4188]

It wasn't a hit because it's obvious they aren't southern or American. There is no twang to it in the pronunciation. It does make a difference. It's a lovely song but it doesn't sound authentic.

[@MrBernardesreis]

@@sharib.4188 I agree with you. Perhaps the word that best defines the reason for not reaching the top 10 in the United States is this: Prejudice.

[@bobbygreen6985]

Good old days better music better people

[@TonyWeaving]

How right you are. I was 13 when this hit the British charts. Life was so much more laid back then. Great Times Great Music.

[@gerardhennessy3586]

One of my great - perhaps my greatest - musical guilty pleasures. I normally cannot stand this kind of Euro faux-country. But not this time folks. This is wonderful. The voices, the harmonies, the counterpoint string section, the spot-on slide gee-tar. Does not attempt to be anything other than it is - a sing-along melodic country track. Insanely catchy and totally irresistible. More power to them. I loved it then and I love it still. Viva Pussycat..

[@CliveHateley]

When this came out it was the most played record on juke boxes in the UK, you couldn't go anywhere without hearing it and people singing along to it of all ages! Great song and very catchy and ageless..

[@ronnieburns4554]

This brings me back to the 70's! Man what a time to have been young! I really miss it! Great Music, and life was so easy back then!

[@francoisschillaci6634]

Mais bien sûr les trois soeurs étaient belles et elles chantaient bien , mais nous étions en 1976. réveillez _vous, nous sommes en 2021

[@martinwedge7732]

Some songs will last forever and this is one of them. Number one all over Europe in 1975 and number one in the U.K. in October 1976. Toni’s vocal is outstanding and made this band special.

[@harrodsfan]

Well said.

[@Mariabock28]

Just checked into this version. Love it, love them. What a thing they are. Gapped tooth women. Great music, no plastic, what's not to like? More to love. Thanks.

[@markmurphy432]

Oh my, perfect vocal performance, the harmonies are exquisite, the lead vocal never quivers or falters for one note, these girls can sing, this is a masterclass and should be used as an example to all up and coming singers.

[@JustMeJP]

You know this lipsyncing right?

[@mariacallaghan4112]

Fantastic girls, love them

[@LPCLASSICAL]

@@JustMeJP Im sure he does know it is lip synched but his comment is valid lip synched or not.

[@albertoosseslopez5871]

I learned this song changing Baker instead of Mississippi

[@Telssa1]

It has that top quality backing you always seem to get with country, and the most musical voice you could ever wish to hear. How it wasn't a hit in the US, heaven only knows.

[@jxxnrxxi2160]

European hits rarely became hits in the US. Remember Boney M? They were #1 all over in Europe, but hardly even known in the US.

[@Telssa1]

@@jxxnrxxi2160 I'm well aware, but I would have thought the title alone would have given it a foothold in the US. The record company must have put in zero effort.

[@Xanadu128]

I love this a lot. It should have been a hit here in the US. Still a hit in my book.

[@dalebowman6502]

They never were promoted in US and Canada. The entertainers have to be on the road to promote their music. Maybe they were not prepared to be on the road to do what rat required. Happy to find them now in my 79’s
