Jules de Corte (1924-1996) was a Dutch singer-songwriter and pianist. He became blind as a two-year-old child and learned to play the piano in the school for the blind.
After his school-years he became organist in a church, gave piano lessons and played the piano at parties and weddings. In 1946 he started to play the piano on the radio, in shows like The clock strikes nine/Negen heit de Klok.
In the years 1945-1985 De Corte wrote hundreds of songs, performed on the radio, made successful theatre shows and wrote several books. In 1955 he released his first record, The birds/De vogels. The accompanying single with above song, was awarded with a Golden Record.

He released over 30 albums, like The very few people/De enkeling (1964), For who wants to hear it/Voor wie luisteren wil (1971) and In a frame/Ingelijst (1990). Jules de Corte is both praised for his poetic lyrics and his to the point formulated philosophical thoughts, as well as for his recognizable music that neatly matches the content of the song.
Recurring themes are love, happiness/bliss, the earth and the individual human being, loneliness and human proportions. His most famous song, 'I would like to know the reason' (1955), was covered by many artists, like Martine Bijl, Willeke Alberti, Ruth Jacott and Paul de Leeuw.
Jules de Corte was awarded with the Visser Neerlandia Award, the Louis Davids Award, a Golden Harp and an Edison Award. He married two times and had six children.
