No sweet sound

Jak de Priester wrote and sang the original Afrikaans song "Sally Williams Nougat", yet it was a youngster from Durbanville who took it to the Top 40 charts on Radio Big L in the UK. Anthonie Bougas (15) was a finalist in Patricia Lewis' Supersterre contest (the Afrikaans version of Idols). Jak, a 2002 Crescendo winner, did not know about the UK charts until a journalist contacted him for a story. According to Jak, Anthonie didn't ask Jak for permission to record his song, but according to Anthonie's mother and agent, Rensché Bougas, they paid a copyright fee.
