The Frank Boeijen Group (1979-1991), with singer-songwriter Frank Boeijen (1957), was a Dutch 'Nederpop'-band ('Netherpop'). This word refers to the sudden growth of Dutch language pop music in the Netherlands in the eighties (with bands like Doe Maar, Het Goede Doel, Drukwerk, Klein Orkest and Toontje Lager).
The biggest hits of the Frank Boeijen Group include: 'Don't think white, don't think black'/'Denk niet wit, denk niet zwart' (1984); 'Kronenburg Park' (1985); and above song 'Tell me please it is not true'/'Zeg me dat het niet zo is' (1990). They released 11 albums.

Frank Boeijen wrote the song 'Zeg me dat het niet zo is' (1990) because of the death of his mother in law of that time (he was married from 1990-1994). The song is still voted every year into the Top 2000 (traditionally broadcasted on the radio in the last week of the year), as high as place 129/2000.
The songs of Frank Boeijen are known for his poetic and melancholic lyrics, and music that sounds in between popmusic and chansons. After the band quited in 1991, Boeijen started a solo career. In 2004 he won an Edison Music Award for his entire oeuvre and in 2015 he won the Lennaert Nijgh Award for best lyrics writer.
