Herman George van Loenhout (10 April 1946 – 19 November 2015), better known as Armand, was a Dutch protest singer.

Then 3 months later, the B side ("Ben ik te min") began playing on the radio and became a national hit.

From here on, the record label Philips refused to release "Lijpe Harrie", from where on Armand decided to write the debut song for Lenny Kuhr ("Laat maar schrijven").

[3] Because Armand was a great advocate of legalizing soft drugs and Philips declined to publish lyrics about that subject, he transferred in 1970 to Telstar Records (then owned by Dutch singer Johnny Hoes).

[4] On 14 December 2011, Armand was the first Dutch hippie artist to participate in the TV show hosted by Ali B called Op Volle Toeren.
