Background notes
Archive material and source history
Jaap Bakker was a Dutch musician who formed a band under his own name in 1970. He sang and played guitar, with other musicians coming and going around him. His songs like "De Hand Des Allerhoogsten" and "Morgen Neem Ik Bloemen Voor Jee Mee" drew from Dutch folk and spiritual themes.
The lyrics described a mystical meeting between a man and God, which upset certain religious groups. Despite this, the song became important for Bakker and found listeners who connected with it.
He released several albums through the 1970s and 1980s, including "Het Raadsel Van De Regenboog" in 1978 and "Zilverdraad" in 1980. His music kept exploring spiritual questions and human experience, often with a folk sound. Bakker himself stayed fairly private, even as his work developed a following.
