Biography

Svante Thuresson (7â¯Februaryâ¯1937â¯ââ¯10â¯Mayâ¯2021) was a Swedish jazz singer born in Sweden who began his musical journey as a drummer before joining the band Gals and Pals in 1963. His breakthrough came in 1966 when he won the national selection with "Nygammal vals" and represented Sweden at the Eurovision Song Contest, finishing second. The single marked his entry into the public eye and led to a series of recordings for the Metronome label, including Ingen Sol HÃ¤r Utan Dig (2007) and Solen I Maj (2007).Thuresson released a steady stream of albums throughout the 1960s and 1970s, such as Doktor Dolittle (1967), Nyanser (1969), and Albin och Greta (1970) with Lill Lindfors, before moving into the 1980s with Just in Time (1982) and the animated film soundtrack Pelle SvanslÃ¶s (1986). In the 1990s he issued live recordings and compilations, including BÃ¤sta (1999) and Guldkorn (2000). A later collaboration with AnneâLie RydÃ© saw them perform as a duo at Melodifestivalen 2007, though they did not reach the final. Thuressonâs final releases were Svante Thuresson & VÃ¤nner (2007) and Regionala Nyheter: Stockholmsdelen (2011). He died in Mayâ¯2021 after a longâterm illness, leaving a legacy of over four decades of jazz and pop recordings in Sweden.
