Dutch pop singer Benny Neyman was born in 1951 in Maastricht. He made his debut in 1974 but didn't score his first hit until 1980 with the Top Ten single "Ik Weet Niet Hoe." That same year he released the album De Beste van Benny Neyman and the follow-up single "Je Hoeft Me Niet Te Zeggen Hoe Ik Leven Moet." Neyman's biggest hit came in 1985 with the chart-topping and career-making single "Waarom Fluister Ik Je Naam Nog." While the singer's popularity waned in the latter half of the 1980s, he remained active during the '90s and 2000s, scoring a steady series of minor hits along the way. In 2007, Neyman announced he was suffering from cancer. He died one year later, at the age of 56. ~ Jason Birchmeier
