Al Debbo, the South African comedian, sings a cute little Afrikaans love song on his album "Pieringoog Potpourri (Al Debbo Sê Dankie)". The song originally appeared in 1974 on the album "Pens en Pooitjies".

The song sounds similar to Ragtime or Goema (the kind of music performed by the "Kaapse Klopse", a minstrel festival that takes place annually on January 2, in Cape Town, South Africa).

@geldenhuys1968 Ek is so jammer om dit te hoor. Daar gaan 'n deel van my kinderdae wat ek altyd met 'n glimlag onthou.

Was snaaks toe ons jonk was het die mense altyd grap gemaak en gese dat Al Debbo was die enigste kleurling wat die Afrikaners van gehou het.Hy was snaaks veral as Gatiepie en Maraai

Always had a soft spot for Al since seeing him live, in rugby togs, doing a ballet to Humouresque by Dvorak. I hope someone will post Sylvie se Ouma, and Die Gamat se naam was Agmat, both absolute masterpieces of intentional corn! Rus in vrede, Al. Nooit weer sal daai bliksemse brakke van Turffontein jou nagrus steur nie!

Rus in vrede oom Al ..... Dankie vir al die lekker lag oor die jare heen.
