Wallace Collection was a Belgian pop rock band formed in 1968. The group consisted of members from Sylvester's Team and the Belgian National Philharmonic Orchestra. They named themselves after the famous museum adjacent to the headquarters of their record label, EMI. Their breakthrough came with the international hit “Daydream” (1969), which reached Number 1 in Belgium and topped the charts in 20 other countries. The band's debut studio album, Laughing Cavalier, was recorded at Abbey Road Studios and released in 1969. Following this success, they toured Europe, the United States, Mexico, and South America. They also composed the soundtrack for the French film La Maison (1970). Despite subsequent hits like “Love” (1969) and “Serenade” (1970), which were featured on their second studio album, Serenade (1970), the group disbanded in 1971. The original lineup included Sylvain Vanholme, Freddy Nieuland, Marc Hérouet, Christian Janssens, Raymond Vincent, Jacques Namotte, and Genesio Di Cesare. After disbanding, Vincent founded the progressive rock band Esperanto, and Vanholme joined the pop group Two Man Sound. Nieuland died on January 10, 2008, Vincent died on November 5, 2018, Namotte died on December 23, 2012, and Di Cesare died on October 23, 2024. The band reformed in 2005 with an altered lineup that featured Cédric Murrath on violin.
