Du Hör En Sång - Inger Öst & Torsten Wallin

Although some parties in Sweden were very critical of the Eurovision Song Contest, it was still a very popular event in Scandinavia, and many of the Eurovision songs were covered by local artists. This single features a Swedish version of the Dutch entry of the 1974 edition, 'I see a star' ('Ik zie een ster'). 

The song was translated by Bosse Carlgren and performed by Inger Öst and Torsten Wallin. Lilian Inger Elisabeth Öst Hellström was originally part of the singing group Family Four, before she went solo in the late 1960's and had several hits in Sweden, including 'Touch me'. Torsten Wallin, who appears on the A-side of this single only, is a Swedish singer, musician and comedian.
