Toni was the lead singer while her sisters provided backing vocals. Pussycat scored a massive international hit with the beautiful song "Mississippi" in 1976. Penned by composer Werner Theunissen, it is estimated that "Mississippi" sold over five million copies worldwide. It was later followed by "Smile" in 1976, and "Hey Joe" in 1978. Other hits were "If You Ever Come to Amsterdam", "Georgie", "Wet Day in September" and "My Broken Souvenirs". Their career in Europe spanned more than a decade and included some seventeen albums. By 1978 Hans Lutjens had replaced Coumans on drums, as the band continued to release albums and tour, travelling as far afield as South Africa. They made regular appearances on the West German TV series, Musikladen, in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Pussycat enjoyed a steady succession of hit songs throughout the 70s and recorded a bunch of albums before breaking up in 1984.
Toni went on to a very successful solo career. She released the album "Privilege" in 1985 followed by "Working Girl" in 1987 and "New Words to an Old Love Song" in 1989. The Dutch magazine "Country Gazette" cited her as the best female country singer of the year in 1989. Toni was subsequently given this same accolade in both 1990 and 1991 as well. She sang the theme song to the Dutch thriller "De Flat" in 1994. In 1999 she sang the duet "Oh, How I Miss You" with Dutch singer Benny Neyman and recorded the album "American Duets" with him in 2000. In 2004 she sang the duet "Heart Half Empty" with singer Danny Vera. She often performs in concerts in Netherlands, Germany, Bulgaria, Slovenia, Greece and South Africa where she has proved to be an especially popular singer with both old as well as new hits.
With her album "Pussycat - The collection and more" Toni recorded the biggest hits of Pussycat, with "I'll be your woman" as her favorite, but also some new songs, like the ballads "Desperado" and "Still on my mind" and her own version of the big Elkie Brooks hit "Pearl's a singer". With "Pussycat - The Collection and more" she proves once again that she is a unique singer in the Netherlands with an international sound; solo and with Pussycat. Toni Wille reunited with her sisters Betty and Marianne for the band Major Dundee's album "Young Gods" in 2005 and Dutch singer Dennis Jones' reggae cover of "Mississippi" in 2007.
Today, Toni continues to spread her wings on her very successful solo career with most recent releases such as Fantastic Stories, Good Times, As Long as you are Mine, Can't get over you, Fantasy, Times Slips Away, Tell Me Baby, World United, Impressions, Never Wanna Lose, I'm Only Dreaming and many many more.

Georgie
Toni Wille Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When it's new you put it on and its refrain you remember
Georgie but when a song's been often played
Another song then has been made, makes you forget what you liked the other day
Georgie there was a time you played I Love
Remember I'm not a record you can play and turn it off
Georgie like many songs you will return
Every minute it begun
Georgie there was a time you played I Love
Remember another record you can play and turn it off
Georgie like many songs you will return
Every minute it begun
And when it come you can see me standing there
Georgie I'm telling you I'll be stand there to hold your hand to kiss your lips
The song "Georgie" by Toni Willé is an ode to a past love who was once significant in the singer's life. The chorus of the song metaphorically compares the power of love to the power of a song. When love is new, it is like a "song" that you hear and remember its refrain. However, when the song has been played over and over again, it becomes forgettable and another song (an end to the relationship) is made. The verses are directed towards Georgie, a former lover who had played the song "I Love" and inevitably moved on to other things. The singer reminds Georgie that she is not a record that can be played and turned off, and that her love cannot be compared to something that can be discarded or forgotten. In essence, the singer is saying that while Georgie may return and leave, the singer will always be there, ready to hold her hand and kiss her lips.
The lyrics of the song can be interpreted in a multitude of ways. On one hand, the song may be about the fleeting nature of love and how it is similar to the transience of music. On the other hand, the song may also be a warning to Georgie about the always-present love and devotion of the singer. The chorus is extremely catchy and relatable, making the song highly popular in the 1980s. Overall, the song takes the listener on an emotional journey of love, heartbreak, and reconciliation.
