Ramses Shaffy (1933-2009) was a Dutch actor, singer and songwriter. He was the son of an Egyptian consul and a Polish countess, but due to his parent's divorce and illness of his mother, he grew up with a foster family in Leiden.
In 1964 Shaffy formed the theatre group Shaffy Chantant. One of the members was singer Liesbeth List, with whom he made theatrical tours for over ten years. Big hits (beside above song) were his/their songs 'Sammy' (1966); 'Pastoral song'/'Pastorale' (1969); 'We will go one'/'We zullen doorgaan' (1975); and 'Let me'/'Laat me' (1978, translation).
As an actor he played in movies like William of Orange/Willem van Oranje, as earl of Egmont (1984) and In trust to one's luck/Op hoop van zegen, as ship-builders help Simon (1986).

The above song was in the Top 40 for three weeks and still is voted every year into the Top 2000 (traditionally broadcasted on the radio the last week of the year); as high as place 7/2000.
In 2006 a cd-box with eight cd's was released with all his songs. During that event, Ramses Shaffy received an Edison Music Award for his complete oeuvre. The last ten years of his life he suffered from Korsakoff's syndrome, due to excessive alcohol use. Nevertheless he still performed his songs on stage until november 2009, just days before his death.
