Biography

Tommy Körberg (born July 4, 1948) is a Swedish singer and actor. English-speaking audiences know him best for his role in the Benny Andersson–Björn Ulvaeus–Tim Rice musical Chess. He was the first to play the role of “The Russian” on the 1984 concept album Chess, and performed the same role on stage in the 1986 world premiere production in London. In the 1990s and 2000s he took time off from other projects in order to recreate the role in subsequent productions of Chess, including the 1994 tenth anniversary concert and the 2002 Stockholm production. He has also appeared in the Swedish productions of other musicals, including The Sound of Music and Les Miserables.


Eurovision Song Contest 1969 - Madrid
Entry for Sweden

Performer: Tommy Körberg
Song title: Judy, Min Vän
Song writer(s): Britt Lindeborg
Song composer(s): Roger Wallis

Sang in Position: 9
Final Position: 9
Total Points: 8

For the first time in the history of the Eurovision Song Contest, the outcome of the voting resulted in a tie for the first place. Four countries gained 18 points each: France, the Netherlands, Spain and the United Kingdom. Since there was no solution for this situation, all four countries were declared winners. Luckily, there were four medals available to the four winning singers - the four medals were intended for the winning singer and three winning songwriters.

The four winners differed a lot from one another: France had a haunting ballad performed by Frida Boccara, the Netherlands sent in Lenny Kuhr with a guitar, Spain and Salomé performed the energetic Vivo Cantando whereas the star from the British islands, Lulu, had a happy, clap-along song.

    Underbar sångare men synd att han inte lever upp till sin roll som förebild. Många ungdommar som ser upp till honom och då borde han visa gott omdömme med droger och sprit.

    Måste skryta =) Som ung gick jag i en musikklass, som fick möjligheten att åka till Sthlm och spela in ett program med Tommy Körberg. Programets namn var då > Kika Digga Ding < med var även Cindy Peteers. Jag fick även dansa med Tommy. Skall söka upp Tv och se om jag får möjligheten att få köpa hem programmet, på ngt sätt. Det kanske inte går men skulle vara festligt. Årtal undrar ni nu..*host*...jag är gammal nu, men även Tommy. Detta var år 1976, tror jag alt - 75. Hepp hepp =)

    Hihi. Vissa artisters spelningar skjuter i höjden inför och under juletid. :) Jag försöker tagga så mycket svensk julmusik som möjligt som christmas, så jag kan zappa in tagradion här nere i Tyskland.
