"Kom som du er" by Klaus & Servants - Danish cover of Tonny Eyk song

Another Danish cover that I need help tracking down the original for. Written by Dutch musician Tonny Eyk.

Hello Michael,

Here's the original, written and produced by Tonny Eyk

https://www.discogs.com/Eva-Gloria-Lop%C3%A8z-Vamos-A-Ver/release/2732269

You see, the original is in the Spanish language

Funny thing is that 1 year later the single was used as a tune for a Spanish language course on Dutch TV, which was also hosted by Eva.

Also in 1970 the song was covered by Theo En Zijn Troubadours, translated in Dutch by Theo Diepenbrock, retitled "Ga Niet Te Ver"

Thanks for your help! The original and Danish versions are now on site. Will add the other shortly.

Also, do you have any idea who Jack van der Voorn or W J Landman (aka "Wimbo") are? They're also credited for this work but Discogs doesn't have any further info on them (and I only got the real name for Wimbo because that's how they're credited for the Danish version)

Ga niet te ver is now on site, along with the B side, which is a Dutch cover of a German song about a girl who apparently is quite a kisser... Caroline

I don't know who W J Landman (Wimbo) is. I dont see his name in the credits.

The only names in the credits I see are Tonny Eyk who most likely wrote the music and Jack van der Voorn who wrote the Spanish lyrics.

In the next newspaper article I read, he spoke effortless Spanish, English, French, German and Italian.

He was born as Koos van der Voorn around 1940 in Hoogmade (https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoogmade)

And around 1970 he worked for the Dutch Phonogram-label, which was closely connected with the Philips-label. He worked for Gerrit den Braber who was also a Dutch lyricist for various compositions.

Koos ("Jack") van der Voorn later worked as a TV host for

"Avro's Sportpanorama" (https://wiki.beeldengeluid.nl/index.php/Sportpanorama)

Here's another article, where he looks a lot like Crocodile Dundee !!??

Landman/Wimbo is credited in ISWC, so I'm not sure what his involvement was. Thanks for the info on van der Voorn
