Sjunger Eurovisionsschlager - Gunnar Wiklund

In 1966, Gunnar Wiklund took part in the Swedish national final for the Eurovision Song Contest with two songs: 'Vinterrosor' and 'Vad har jag kvar?'. The songs ended up in fifth and tenth place respectively. 

Undeterred, he released this EP, featuring the two songs plus two cover versions of songs that did end up in the international competition: 'Nygammal vals', the Swedish entry originally performed by Lill Lindfors and Svante Thuresson, and 'Merci Cherie', the winning song by Udo Jürgens from Austria. Gunnar recorded 'Nygammal vals' together with Marianne Kock.
