Alice Babs sjunger Regntunga skyar. Från filmen Swing it, magistern! från 1940. On request, here are the lyrics in english (my translation): The sky is heavy with rain wherever I look There is no sun anymore without you Pines wet with rain silently looking down Everything seams grey without you The bird that just sung suddenly became quiet and mute and the song that I wrote became meaningless and silly The sky is heavy with rain wherever I look There is no sun anymore without you. + Informações

Posted by nostalgoteket.se Here's a video I made with clips from the movie Det svänger på slottet (1959) starring Alice Babs, Sven Lindberg, Yvonne Lombard, Gunnar Björnstrand, Karl-Arne Holmsten, Hjördis Petterson och Little Gerhard. This song was a top 40 hit in the UK in 1963, so I thought it deserved a video.. + Informações

Here is a wordless song ("Stoona"), written (and performed) by Duke Ellington, typical of the range and style of the great Alice Babs. Alice Babs (born Hildur Alice Nilsson in 1924) is a Swedish singer and actor. While she has worked in a wide number of genres, she is best known internationally as a jazz singer. Making her breakthrough in "Swing it magistern!" ("Swing It, Teacher!") (1940), she appeared in more than a dozen Swedish language-films. Despite playing the well-behaved, good-hearted, cheerful girl, the youth culture forming with Alice Babs as its icon caused outrage among members of the older generation. A vicar called the Alice Babs cult the "foot and mouth disease to cultural life". In 1958, she was the first artist to represent Sweden in the Eurovision Song Contest, finishing in 4th place with the song Lilla stjärna (Little Star). The same year, she formed "Swe-Danes" with Ulrik Neumann and Svend Asmussen. The group would later tour the United States together, before dissolving in 1961. A long and productive period of collaboration with Duke Ellington started in 1963. Among other works, Alice Babs performed his second and third Sacred Concerts that were originally written for her. Her voice has an extreme range; Duke Ellington has said that when she did not sing the parts that he wrote for her, he had to use three different singers. He said also: «Alice Babs is a composer's dream, for with her he can forget all the limitations and just write his heart out .... + Informações

This must have been a bestseller during Christmas 1952, since it is according to my experiences one of the most common Swedish 78 rpm records. It was recorded in Gothenburg, November 12, 1952, by record company Metronome and contains three of Sweden's most popular entertainers during the early 1950s, Alice Babs (born 1924), Povel Ramel (1922-2007) and Martin Ljung (1917-2010). That is, Ljung may not have had his real breakthrough since his name isn't mentioned on the record label. Allan Johansson (1919-91) and his orchestra accompanies. The song is a traditional Christmas medley, but with new lyrics by Povel Ramel, and the medley is divided on the two record sides. So when Povel Ramel starts babbling in the middle, it is because the flipside has just started and he tells the audience to change the needle, since the old one hurts, and to wind up the gramophone until Alice Babs reminds him that they are actually doing a recording of a Christmas record. I've been a collector of Povel Ramel's 78 rpms for a long time now, and even though this is not his most famous recording, it is without doubt the one that is easiest to find these days. So ... it must have sold VERY well.. + Informações
