Dick van Altena (Oosterhout, 1957) is a Dutch singer, guitarist and songwriter. Dick Van Altena composes from country song to children's song and was also involved with country group Major Dundee between 1977 and 2005.
An album by Kris Kristofferson provided Dick Van Altena with a whole series of self-written songs. He is responsible for many songs by Henk Wijngaard (Hé Suzie), Mooi Wark and Toni Willé from Pussycat. His song "It turned out to be you from"[1990] has been covered many more times. In between his work with Major Dundee he has made solo albums. Dick Van Altena lives off the royalties and his performances as a singer-songwriter. In 2014 Johan Derksen visited him for his musical road trip, the RTL series Derksen on the Road. Van Altena was knighted in the Order of Oranje Nassau on 7 October 2017 for his services in music.
"A Thing Called Love" is the 39th overall album by country singer Johnny Cash, released on Columbia Records in 1972 (see 1972 in music). The title song, written by Jerry Reed, was released successfully as a single (with "Daddy" as the B-side), reaching No. 2 on the country charts; two more singles charted as well, while the album itself also reached No. 2 on the country album charts. "A Thing Called Love" was re-recorded by Cash for Classic Cash: Hall of Fame Series (1988), while "Tear Stained Letter" was reprised on American IV: The Man Comes Around (2002). The Canadian pressing of this album has a different version of "Kate" with altered lyrics.
