- Pierre Kartner was born on April 11, 1935 in Elst, Gelderland, Netherlands. He was an actor and composer, known for De 5 van de 4 daagse (1974), End of Sentence (2019) and Drie Gasten en een Videocamera (2005). He was married to Annie. He died on November 8, 2022 in Breda, Netherlands.
- SpouseAnnie(? - November 8, 2022) (his death, 1 child)
- He wrote the music for the opening and closing credits on the Japanese cartoon adaption of the 1990 TV series Moomin.
- In 1978 he was a guest in the Flemish talk show Noord-Zuid by Mies Bouwman and Johan Anthierens, who treated him unfairly. Anthierens in particular criticized his commercial attitude and put forward a rumor that Peyo had not yet received any copyrights related to 't Smurfenlied. The singer felt so offended by Anthierens' criticism that he left the studio indignant. As a result, Peyo reported that there was no financial dispute.
- As Lord Wanhoop (Despair), he recorded a number of "oblique" and ambiguous songs such as Herbalist, Lily Marleen, Tonia and In the Bath with Violetta (chorus: "Not too hot, not too cold").
- Another hit was We are the Wuppies. Albert Heijn and Johan Vlemmix, who had a Wuppie promotion and Wuppie song around the 2006 World Cup, fought a dispute about this together in court. Vlemmix had to withdraw his single.
- Kartner himself calculated that about two billion people must know him by now.
