Hans de Booij (1958) is a Dutch singer and songwriter. He worked as a light technician for the shows of Boudewijn de Groot. De Booij had several hits in the 1980's.

In 1983 he released his first album, but the three biggest hits were not written by himself, but by others: 'Annabel'; 'A woman like you'/'Een vrouw zoals jij'; and 'Being home'/'Thuis ben' were written/re-written by Herman Pieter de Boer and composed by Boudewijn de Groot. After this, Hans de Booij had just one more hit ('I love all women'/'Ik hou van alle vrouwen', 1986) although he released more albums, like Emocratie (2007).

The above song 'Annabel' (1983) was in the National Hit Parade Top 40 for twelve weeks and is still voted every year into the Top 2000 (traditionally broadcasted on the radio the last week of the year), as high as place 609/2000. De Booij claims that he cannot sing 'Annabel' anymore, because he starts to hyperventilate. Even so, he named his dog Annabel.

Herman Pieter de Boer (1928-2014) was a Dutch writer and lyrics writer. His most well-known songs are: 'Let me'/'Laat me' (for Ramses Shaffy); 'Visitors'/'Visite' (for Lenny Kuhr); 'Annabel' (for Hans de Booij); 'On an uninhabited island'/'Op een onbewoond eiland' and 'I dreamed so insanely tonight'/'Ik heb zo waanzinnig gedroomd' (for national teenagers choir Children for Children). In 2002 he was awarded with a Golden Harp.

Boudewijn de Groot (1944) is one of Netherlands's most famous singers, songwriters and composers. He is most known for his own records and many hits, but he also produced and wrote for other artists. Some songs of his hand, translated and included on this website, are: 'Testament' (1966); 'Drowned butterfly'/'Verdronken vlinder' (1966); 'Eva' (1968); 'Prikkebeen' (1968); and 'Evening'/'Avond' (1997).
