Jacques Brel, a Belgian singer and the third-best Belgian recording artist of all time, first recorded the song "Season in the Sun" about a man dying of a broken heart, before Terry Jacks and his wife recorded and released the song in 1973, topping the charts in the US, Canada, and the UK.
Having sold over 25 million records worldwide, Brel is the third best-selling Belgian recording artist of all time.
