Sjef Poort

Sjef Poort (1956-1998) was a Dutch musician and voice actor who dubbed Forgetful Jones ("Vergeetachtige Jan") on Sesamstraat, the Dutch co-production of Sesame Street. 
Poort also dubbed Hard Head Henry Harris, Harvey Kneeslapper and Oscar the Grouch in the song "Swamp Mushy Muddy" (one of the only Oscar appearances of that era). He was one of the main singers on Sesamstraat in the 1980s and was heard on the show until the mid-1990s (including backing vocals on "This Song Is for the Birds" and "Cluck Around the Clock"). 
Poort played organ and piano on a 1973 soundtrack album based on puppeteer Jan de Noord's TV performances (with songs by Ton Hasebos) and on a 1980 album as part of the jass band Atmaksis. He sang in the chorus of the Dutch dub of The Little Mermaid.
