Biography

Lill-Babs (born Barbro Svensson on 09/03/38) experienced her first success, when she was a teenager with the song Är Du Kär I Mig Ännu, Claes-Göran? and went on to have a lot of hits in Sweden. Jazz was the main influence on Lill-Babs and so it's no surprise she recorded a lot of jazz stuff over the years. Lill-Babs didn't concentrate on singing only. She also tried her hands on acting and hosting TV-shows. She recorded until far into the 90's.
