Zjef Vanuytsel

Jozef Guillaume Dymphna "Zjef" Vanuytsel (July 6, 1945 – December 30, 2015) was a Belgian folk music/kleinkunst singer and guitarist.

Vanuytsel is most famous for his debut album, "De Zotte Morgen" ("The Mad Morning"), which became a bestseller and sold more than 100.000 copies.

[1] The title track "De Zotte Morgen" and the single "Houten Kop" ("Hangover", literally "Wooden Head") from the same album are his most well known songs.

[1][2] He was influenced by Boudewijn de Groot, Jacques Brel[3] and Bob Dylan[1] and wrote from an autobiographical standpoint.

"Tederheid" ("Tenderness") (1983) became his final record for a long time and he concentrated back on his job as an architect.
