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.
"Me and Bobby McGee" is a song written by American singer-songwriter Kris Kristofferson and originally performed by Roger Miller. Fred Foster shares the writing credit, as Kristofferson intended. A posthumously released version by Janis Joplin topped the U.S. singles chart in 1971, making the song the second posthumously released No. 1 single in U.S.
