Fox the Fox was a synth-pop and funk ensemble from the Netherlands, established in 1981 by Berth Tamaëla alongside Sylvia Musmin (also known as Silhouette Musmin). Their most notable track is the single "Precious Little Diamond".
History
The group originated through the collaboration of Tamaëla and Musmin and featured bassist Gino Jansen, guitarist Kier van der Werf, keyboardist Roy Kuschel, as well as drummers Robbie Brans, Tjalling Bos, and Han Langkamp. All the lyrics were penned by Musmin.
In 1983, the band released "Flirting and Showing," which achieved the 40th position on charts in both the Netherlands and Germany. The following year, "Precious Little Diamond" emerged as their breakthrough international hit, reaching number 5 in Germany, 11 in the Netherlands, 15 in France, 38 in Belgium, 86 in the United Kingdom, and climbing to number 18 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart. Later releases, including singles and albums, did not match this level of success.
After Tamaëla left in 1990, Fox the Fox disbanded. Musmin withdrew from the music industry to pursue a career in alternative medicine based in Amsterdam, while Tamaëla continued his involvement in music production under the alias Beat-T.
