Anton Goosen (born 5 March 1946 in Middelburg, Eastern Cape)[1] is a South African musician and songwriter.
At the age of 9, his teachers sought to place him in a class for mentally challenged children as his behaviour became disruptive.
[citation needed] In 1963, Goosen was expelled from boarding school after being caught in a bath playing guitar and smoking.
[5] Goosen wrote songs for other artists, most notably and prodigiously for Sonja Herholdt, but also for Carike Keuzenkamp, Laurika Rauch, Richard Clayderman, Francis Goya, and Koos Kombuis.
[6] He wrote the theme music for Die Laaste Tango (2013), 'n Pawpaw vir my Darling (2016) and Siembamba (Lullaby) (2017).
