about
Hearts of Soul was a Dutch girl group formed by three sisters - Bianca, Stella and Patricia Maessen - from the town of Harderwijk, The Netherlands. Active from 1969 to 1981 and from 2010 onwards, they were perhaps best known for their song 'Waterman', which was the Dutch entry for the Eurovision Song Contest in 1970.

They recorded a debut album, The Hearts of Soul, which came out in 1970. In that same year they took 'Waterman' (written by Pieter Goemans) to the Eurovision Song Contest. They finished 7th out of 12 participants. It didn't bring them much in terms of chart success of album sales. Disappointed by this fact they re-located to Belgium in 1974, re-naming their group Dream Express in 1975, with former Pebbles musician Luc Smets (who had married Bianca).
