En gång ska vi åter mötas - Thory Bernhards

Swedish singer Thory Gunhild Elisabet Bernhards was born on 12 October 1920 in Örebro. Her career started in the middle of World War II, when she recorded 78rpm shellac records with various orchestras. In 1961 she recorded 'En gång ska vi åter mötas', a Swedish cover of 'Einmal sehen wir uns wieder', the German entry for the Eurovision Song Contest that year. (The original was performed by Lale Andersen.) The song reached a second place on the industry magazine Show Business' list of best-selling records in Sweden.

This EP presents a further three cover versions: 'Hon grät vid min skuldra' was originally 'She cried on my shoulder', originally performed by Mark Dinning, 'Det var du som sa' nej!' is a cover of Ferlin Husky's 'Wings of a dove' and finally 'Flyg, du fula fluga, flyg!' was originally performed by Willy Millowitsch as 'Schnaps! Das war sein letztes Wort'.
