Icon of person Eddy Wally

Eduard Van De Walle (12 July 1932 – 6 February 2016), known by his stage name Eddy Wally, was a Belgian schlager singer and actor from Zelzate, East Flanders, and the once self-proclaimed "Voice of Europe". Wally enjoyed a somewhat polarizing reputation in Flanders, with most of his songs being characterized as unintentional comedy. Due to his limited vocal talent and naïve, cheesy lyrics, he could be compared with an outsider musician. On the other hand, he managed to sustain a successful career in the Flemish media for half a century. Read more on Wikipedia
