Ulla Billquist En liten resa mot våren 1937

This is the swedish version of Greta Kellers' beutyful song, Eine kleine Reise in Frühling mit dir. It's from the fist part of Ulla Billqists' career when she still was contracted by Columbia, from 1940 she changed to the label of Sonora, and became a megastar in Sweden. The orchestera is, as the most time in the Colombia epoch, Sven Rüno (1901-1960) and his danceorchester, Sven Rüno was recording head of swedish Columbia during the therties.

Ulla Billquist (1907-1946) She was Sweden's most popular singer during World War II and maybe Swedens most popular female singer during the 78rpm epoch.Even more popular than Zarah Leander. She toured all over Sweden and visited the soldiers guarding the borders of Sweden and became very popular.In private she was very withdrawn and shy and suffered much of her own popularity.Therefore she did not participate often in film or in large shows.But she recorded quantities of discs, more than 360, unfortunately only in swedish. Sadly, she committed suicide in 1946 only 39 years old.
