A book that unexpectedly gained an even deeper meaning

How special is it for us, as fans, to experience something close to what Jerney herself experienced?

On July 9, 2026, her 79th birthday, Jerney Kaagman received this extraordinary 400-page Limited XXL Edition, specially created as a tribute to her life, music and the legacy of Earth & Fire.

Jerney was able to receive the book herself, look through its pages and treasure the many photographs, memories and personal messages inside.

Only a few weeks later, on July 31, 2026, Jerney passed away.

As a result, this book has taken on a significance that nobody could have imagined while it was being created.

What began as a loving birthday present and celebration of Jerney and Earth & Fire has now also become a lasting and tangible memory of her life, her music and the enormous impact she had on generations of music lovers.

Memories & Magic Forever

Earth & Fire – Jerney Kaagman 79 Years: Memories & Magic Forever is far more than a photo book.

It is a time capsule.

A musical document.

A collection of personal memories.

And above all, a heartfelt monument to Jerney Kaagman and Earth & Fire.

Across an incredible 400 pages, more than five decades of music history, photographs, interviews, memories and personal contributions have been brought together.

Never before has so much material dedicated to Jerney and Earth & Fire been collected in one publication of this size and quality.

Personal birthday wishes, stories and memories

The first 57 pages were originally created as a very special birthday gift for Jerney.

Dozens of artists, musicians, photographers, radio personalities, friends, fans, caregivers and others close to Jerney and Earth & Fire share their personal birthday wishes, memories and stories.

Contributors include Lois Lane, Hans Schiffers, Henk Westbroek, Henkjan Smits, Age Kat, Getty Kaspers, Frédérique Spigt, Jennifer Ewbank, Sezina Kelsey, Naatje Nathalie, Patricia Steur, Rob Verhorst, Govert de Roos, Jan van der Gaag, Martin Reitsma, Peter Grim, Ben and Sargon Franse, Jerney's caregivers and many more.

Every contribution has been beautifully designed and richly illustrated.

Knowing that Jerney herself was still able to receive these words and messages makes these pages especially meaningful today.

Exclusive Earth & Fire photo special from Scotland

Pages 58 through 82 feature a remarkable photo special by acclaimed photographer Rob Verhorst.

This unique high-resolution black-and-white photo report captures Earth & Fire during a special period in Scotland.

Printed on luxurious 170 gsm Silk paper, these photographs are reproduced in stunning quality, allowing the atmosphere and detail of the original images to truly come alive.

More than five decades of Earth & Fire

Pages 83 through 337 contain Memories & Magic Forever, an extensive journey through the life of Jerney Kaagman and the history of Earth & Fire.

Discover the history of the band, interviews, fan memories, rare photographs, personal anecdotes and remarkable stories spanning more than five decades of Dutch music history.

Together, these pages tell not only the story of a successful band, but also the story of the people, friendships, fans and unforgettable music that made Earth & Fire so special.

63 pages of exclusive bonus material

The final section contains no fewer than 63 additional pages of exclusive material.

Pages 338 through 400 are packed with full-page photographs, memories, surprises and contributions that had never previously appeared in print.

Special attention is given to Adrian Stahlecker, Monique Sommer and Marjorie Koerts, among others, each of whom played a special role within the Earth & Fire family and fan club community.

And, of course, this section contains many more beautiful photographs of Jerney.

A book to treasure

The first readers responded with admiration and emotion.

This isn't the kind of book you simply browse through once and then put away.

You return to it.

You discover photographs you may have missed the first time.

You reread personal memories and stories.

And with every page, the music and history of Earth & Fire come alive again.

Following Jerney's passing, this edition has become something even more precious: a tangible reminder of a woman who holds a unique place in Dutch pop music history.

A memory to treasure forever.

Experience what Jerney herself was able to experience

Perhaps this is what makes this edition so special.

The book was created before Jerney passed away.

It was not conceived as a retrospective following her death.

It was created as a celebration of her life.

Jerney received the finished book herself on her 79th birthday.

She was able to see just how many people cared about her and how many wonderful memories her music had created.

And now, as fans, we can hold that same book in our hands, discover its photographs and stories, and preserve those memories for future generations.

Earth & Fire – Jerney Kaagman 79 Years: Memories & Magic Forever.

A remarkable collector's item.

A tribute to Earth & Fire.

A monument to Jerney.

And a memory to treasure forever.
