It's strange that so many Americans do not know this guy. Because in my last vacation to NY , I saw a road called jacques brel avenue. Or something like that.
@th_mertens actually the song is about the port of Antwerp. The two syllable Antwerp didnd't fit though, so Brel changed it into Alsterdam. The song is not about the (Amsterdam) Wallen at all.
