Ann-Louise Hanson
Encyclopedia
Ann-Louise Hanson is a Swedish
singer and has been involved in the music industry for over 40 years.
Many of her solo recordings from the 1960s feature Bruno Glenmarks Orkester and, following their marriage, Ann-Louise and Bruno Glenmark formed the group Glenmarks with Bruno's niece Karin and nephew Anders. Soonafter, their own GlenDisc record label began producing vinyl, cassettes and eventually CDs under the banner of 'Hanson-Glenmark Production AB.'
Ann-Louise holds the dubious honour of having entered the Swedish Melodifestivalen
competition thirteen times without winning once, which is a record in itself. Of those entries, the songs 'Bara en enda gång' (a duet with John Ballard) and 'Kärleken lever' are amongst her best remembered. Ann-Louise has also attempted to represent Germany
at the Eurovision Song Contest
in the past. Having moved to France with Bruno in the late 1980s, she now remains a resident of Kristianstad in Sweden.
1986's synth-based 'Duva - Flyg igen' (Doves - Fly Again) is Ann-Louise's most recent studio album, upon which Ann-Louise shared lead vocals with her daughters Jessica and Josefin on the title track, alongside a duet with Billy Preston
on 'So Good, So Fine.'
Ann-Louise's daughter Josefin Glenmark recently embarked upon her own musical career.
