Allright I've missed out on another appointment last Wednesday. It was my best friends birthday and my favourite football team was playing. Sorry for that.
John Terra is a Belgian singer who's known for a few Schlager classics such as this one. The title means: The day the sunlight don't shine anymore. Or something like that. His first steps he set in an orchestra lead by one of his relatives when he got noticed by some Belgian producers. Early seventies John scored a few hits and this is where he tasted his first fame in the Flemish part of Belgium. As his succes has risen it taned as quickly late 1970's. In this period he released 4 albums of which the last in 1976.
Although never having left the showbizz scene John Terra made a comeback in 1981 in a national song contest called De Baccarabeker. This attention led to his biggest hit ever which is the one below. De dag dat het zonlicht niet meer scheen would take him to the top flight of the charts. His 1981 album was named after the song and some other songs would also make the charts. A year later he released the album Ik Weet Niet waaromp which would also be his final album.
Although still performing he's disappear slowly from the Belgian stages to take up the position of manager of many Belgian artists such as Lisa Del Bo (eurovision song contestor in 1996), Kim Kay, Dana Winner, Erik Goossens and Vanessa Chinitor (eurovision song contestor in 1999).
Why is John Terra linked to arbeid Adelt? Well the posted song lead to a huge fight between him and Arbeid Adelt since this is Johns biggest hit, released in 1981 but also the title of Arbeid Adelts first single release also in 1981. Arbeids version was some sort of parody on the number one hit but Mister Terra didn't find it funny. I won't take pick a side since I'm no big fan of both but as long as they tie in it's all fine.
