Biography
Nina & Frederik, a DanishâDutch singing duo consisting of Frederik van Pallandt and his then-wife Nina van Pallandt, began their musical journey in the late 1950s. Their repertoire blended folk music, calypsos, and standards. The duo started performing together at house parties and charity shows before making their professional debut on July 1, 1957, at Copenhagen's Mon CÅur nightclub. Within months, they gained popularity across Europe and starred in the 1958 Danish film The Richest Girl in the World. Their earliest known single, "Jamaica Farewell"/"Come Back Liza", was released in 1959 on Pye International. The duo's debut album, Nina & Frederik, charted at number 9 on the UK Albums Chart in February 1960. They followed this success with another collection, also titled Nina & Frederik, which peaked at number 11 in May 1961. In 1963, they performed for three weeks at London's Savoy Hotel and gave a concert at the Royal Festival Hall. Their live album An Evening with Nina & Frederik was recorded at the Albert Hall in 1966. The duo retired shortly thereafter, and Frederik van Pallandt died from gunshot wounds on May 15, 1994.
