Julius "Jules" de Corte (29 March 1924–16 February 1996) was probably one of the most famous blind singer-songwriters from the Netherlands.

He would spend the rest of his childhood in two Catholic institutions for the blind in Grave, which provided him with a good education but no affection.

In the last year of the Second World War, allied soldiers were accommodated in the institute and De Corte sang songs for them and played the piano.

Over the years, he collaborated with many other famous performers, including Louis van Dijk, Albert Mol and Rita Reys.

[1] Although he did other work too, De Corte is best known for his songs, such as Ik zou wel eens willen weten [nl].
