Nico Haak was a Dutch singer who emerged as a unique voice in the music landscape of the Netherlands during the 1970s. Born on October 16, 1939, in Delft, Haak carved a niche for himself with his distinctive blend of novelty songs and humorous elements, with his presence marked by his trademark wide-brimmed hats and jovial demeanor. His music often combined catchy tunes with comical lyrics and sometimes nonsensical choruses, which became his signature style.

He achieved notable popularity with the song "Schmidtchen Schleicher," among several others, and his albums reflect the party atmosphere that Nico frequently evoked through his work. Throughout his career, Haak worked on multiple projects which were later compiled and remastered, as seen in collections like "De Regenboog Serie: Nico Haak" and "De Red Bullet Singles van Nico Haak". His influence extended beyond the reach of typical pop music as he became a beloved figure in the Dutch entertainment world. Nico Haak continued to entertain audiences until his untimely passing on November 13, 1990. His remastered and expanded collections stand as a testament to his enduring appeal and contribution to Dutch music.
