Her biggest hit was the 1968 song Heintje, bau ein Schloss für mich, which gained notoriety in the Netherlands and Germany. After this, she had many successes in Netherlands and Germany during the years 1969 and 1970 (see Discography). When Klaus Lorenzen became new producer of the young singer, she started to record songs in different languages (including English and Japanese), and had international chart successes (“Tulips from Amsterdam”; “Lavender blue”). After 1971, Wilma was a star only in the Netherlands, and some years later she became nearly forgotten.[citation needed]
In 2003, a CD with old and new songs of her was produced (“Wilma –- toen en nu”, which means "Wilma – Then and Now"). In the song “Gouden platen – volle zalen” (Golden Records – Full Halls) she gives a melancholy review on her life as one of the most successful child stars of all time. She decided to try another comeback in 2009, and recorded (with Sylvia Corpiér) a duet, "Niets of Niemand". The song was ranked No. 1 in Holland FM Top 25 at the end of August 2009.[1]
She is the younger sister of singer Reiny Landkroon and singer-songwriter Henny Thijssen.
