Kirsti Sparboe - Gi meg fri - Norsk Melodi Grand Prix 1966

[NorthinThecountry]

Sexbombe..flotteste dama i Norge

[Tromsvang]

the best singer from Norway ever.

[jabajabamaster]

En skikkelig virtuos med tamburinen!

[PohjaX]

Kirsti is SO good. She later, in the seventies, did some swedish recordings "En liten flicka med röda naglar" bl a, in the company of Benny Borg,

[steinstop]

Very small voice.

[TopandTang]

Does anyone know which song she sang at an International Music Festival in Brazil, Rio in the 60s? I remember being in love with the song and her when I was 6!

[IngerAnna]

Sparboe won a song contest in Rio with a song called "I Feel So Strong". I beleive it was in 1968

[TopandTang]

Do you happen to know the name in Norwegian?

[IngerAnna]

No, and I don't know if it was recorded in Norwegian.

But the title means in Norwegian "Jeg føler meg så sterk"

The tamborine player looks very similar to Odd Børre who sang in the ESC of 1968 for Norway (he was a member of the Kjell Karlsen's band in 1966)!

[primadonna11]

yes, it's him:)

[smurftums]

I find it cute that later on, in 1968, Odd Børre and Kirsti Sparboe sang the same songs ("Stress" and "Jag har aldri vært så glad i no'en som deg") in the National Final. I'd love to look at the video clip/hear the music versions of Stress in that final as the version of Stress released on LP is quite enjoyable compared to what was broadcast at Eurovision in 1968!

[LCRTM]

What does mean "Gi meg fri" in English?

[smurftums]

Release me.

[PN9K5]

@LCRTM "Gi meg fri " means "Give me a break"

[PohjaX]

Cool, Í´ve always liked her in Eurovision (I´m Swedish), she´s a gerat singer.

[avredetaje]

[primadonna11]
