1975, Music: Pussycat

In 1975, the Dutch pop group Pussycat scored a number-one hit with ‘Mississippi’. Written by Werner Theunissen, the song reached number one in the charts in the Netherlands, Belgium, Ireland, New Zealand, Norway, South Africa, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and West Germany.

Cover Single Mississippi

Pussycat consisted of the three Veldpaus sisters: Toni (born 1953), Betty (1952–2024) and Marianne (born 1951). The other band members were guitarist Lou Willé, Theo Wetzels, Theo Coumans and John Theunissen. The group’s original name was 'Drie Zingende Zusjes' ('Three Singing Sisters'), but around 1970 it was changed to ‘Sweet Reaction’. In 1975, the name was changed to ‘Pussycat’ at the suggestion of producer Eddy Hilberts.

1973, Sport: World Three-cushion Championship

From 15 to 18 February 1973, the 28th World Three-Cushion Championship was held in Cairo, Egypt. Raymond Ceulemans secured his eleventh consecutive World Championship title, a record that still stands today. Fittingly, he also raised the world record for the general average (GA) to 1.478. The gulf in class between Ceulemans and the rest of the field was striking: no other player managed to achieve a general average of 1.000 or higher.
