Pierre Kartner highlights.
Pierre Kartner wrote the 1973 Dutch Eurovision entry De Oude Muzikant (The Old Musician) for Ben Cramer. It only ended 14th, but it's still a Dutch singalong which has been covered recently by several party animals from the Netherlands an Belgium.Kartners biggest claim to fame is of course the Smurf Song, the 1977 hit with the blue guys with the white pointy hats. The song, originally only intended as a promo for a Smurf animation, sold millions after Father Abraham recorded it in many languages.
The Red Rose Café
Another well known track from Kartners hand is Het Kleine Café Aan De Haven (The little Café at the harbour). It was recorded in just about every European language by many popular artists. The English version is titled The Red Rose Café and in France Joe Dassin popularised the song as Le Café Des Trois Colombes.
