Four Jacks was a Danish pop/schlager vocal quartet. They formed in 1956. Original member Otto Brandenburg left in 1958 to pursue a successful solo career and was replaced by Flemming Rasmussen, better known under his stage name James Rasmussen. After the quartet split in 1963 John Mogensen served as a bar pianist for some years before becoming Denmark's most popular schlager artist of the first half of the 1970's.
This single was released in 1959. In the same year they also released a song called 'Waterloo' - not the famous Abba song from 1974, obviously. 'Ciao, ciao, bambina (Piove)' remains the only Eurovision cover the group recorded. My copy was previously owned by Elisabeth Johannessen, who lived in Børkop. I wonder if she's still alive.
