Biography

John Bertil Boo was a Swedish ballad singer who was born in Askersund, Sweden, in 1914. He achieved professional recognition in 1946 after singing the sentimental track “Violer till mor” (“Violets for Mother”) on the radio program Frukostklubben. Boo is famous for his popularity as a ballad artist and for his sobriquet “Den sjungande bonden” (“the singing farmer”). His recording of “Violer till mor” (1946) sold 250,000 copies, an extraordinarily high volume for the Swedish market in that year. He appeared in ten films in the Åsa-Nisse series between 1949 and 1966, where he performed various songs. Boo died in 1996.
