Wilma Landkroon
Encyclopedia
Wilma Landkroon is a Dutch
pop singer
. At eleven years old, her first top chart success in the Netherlands and Germany
was in 1968 the song “Heintje, bau ein Schloss für mich” (Heintje, build a castle for me). After this, Wilma had many successes in Netherlands and Germany during the years 1969 and 1970 (see Discography). When Klaus Lorenzen became new producer of the young singer, she started to record some of her songs in different languages, as English and even Japanese, and had international chart successes (“Tulips from Amsterdam”; “Lavender blue”). After 1971, Wilma was a star only in the Netherlands, and some years later she became nearly forgotten.
In 2003, a CD with old and new songs of her was produced (“Wilma –- toen en nu”, what means "Wilma – Then and Now"). In the song “Gouden platen – volle salen” (Golden Records – Full Halls) she gives a melancholy review on her life as one of the most successful child star
s of all time.
