Lecia of Danish band Laban took in 1986 part in the Danish ESC pre-selection (Dansk Melodi Grand Prix) with a song called "Hvis nu lykken findes' (What If Happiness Exists). As it was one of my favourites from that year, I was sad it didn't win.
Lecia wrote this song and the beautiful lyrics herself. When you listen to the song, you'll not be surprised Lecia is a huge ABBA fan.

| J. P. West - Jimmy (Don't Need Me Anymore) - STEREO - 214 sec
J. P. West is a real Scandinavian with SCANDINAVIAN in capital letters. He was born in Norway, lives in Denmark and succeeded mostly in Sweden.
J.P. West also took part a few times in the local Danish Eurovision Song Contest (Dansk Melodi Grand Prix/ESC), but never won.
Here's J. P. West with "Jimmy (Don't Need Me Anymore)" from 1983. I must confess, that first time I heard this song, I thought it was a song about a gay couple.....until I saw the video and watched it to the very end (LOL). Funny song with funny lyrics.

********************************************
Denmarks soul lady #1 is definitely Hanne Boel. She succeeded with the female group Blast, but in 1988 she decided to go solo and made a solo album called "Black Wolf".
From "Black Wolf" was this song "Talk It Out", which was written by Thomas Helmig - a Danish singer/song writer, with whom Hanne also recorded the song as a duet and released it as a single before the album was out. But for - to me - some unknown reasons, Hanne put the song on her solo album without Thomas's voice.
So, here's Hanne with "Talk It Out" from the Danish TV show "Hitlisten" from 1989.

| Tommy Seebach - Du' det dejligste - STEREO - 228 sec
Tommy Seebach was one of the most popular singer/song writers in the 70's and 80's in Denmark.
Tommy could write pop tunes - catchy pop tunes and he wrote song after song in those years for both himself and other artists.
Tommy also competed in the local Eurovision (ESC) 8 times and won 3 of them.
The last time he took part in the local ESC was in 1993 with the song 'Under stjernerne på himlen'. He won and came to the internationally ESC, where his song failed - really failed. It became the end of his career, as both his loyal fans and the press turned their backs to him. Tommy started to drink, got divorced and couldn't get a new recording contract.
After years of drinking, he managed to get small jobs on bars playing his music. But in 2003 he suddenly got a heart failure and died only 53 years old.
Tommy never got the respect he deserved the last years he lived. I have heard he became a bitter man, which is understandable.
Here is one of my favourite songs by Tommy. It's called "Du' det dejligste" (You're The Most Beautiful) and has some of the best lyrics ever written in Danish. The lyrics are just SO beautiful and well-written and fits the music perfect. It's from a Danish TV show called Eldorado from 1983.

Laban - a Danish pop duo from the 80's had big success in Denmark with their Italian pop songs.
Later on in their career they started to record in English and also became popular in many other countries.

Today Lecia is a successful jazz singer in Denmark and has totally dropped pop music.
Here's "Meget bedre nu" (Much Better Now) performed on a Danish TV show called Eldorado in 1983.
Unfortunately they only showed a short clip of the performance, so enjoy the 1½ minute it lasts.

This is a Danish/Swedish co-operation between Danish Kirsten Siggaard (known from ESC as Hot Eyes) and Swedish Tommy Körberg (known from ESC and latest from Benny Andersson of ABBA's band BAO).
Kirsten only sings in Danish and Tommy sings the verse in Swedish and the refrain in Danish.
The song "Endnu engang" (Once Again) is from 1989 and was also recorded in English. The English title was called "Once In Your Arms". Kirsten and Tommy had in mind trying their luck internationally, which failed though.
This performance is from the Danish music show Hitlisten - hosted by Jørgen De Mylius.
Thanks to Karina for some of the information.

| Kiwi & Tess - Give Your Heart - STEREO - 194 sec
Kiwi & Tess (sisters) were a Danish female duo, who had a few hits around Europe - among them 'Show Your Love', 'My Heart Is No Liar' and the song you can see here 'Give Your Heart' from 1989. This song reminds me very much of a Stock, Aitken & Waterman composition.
Kiwi & Tess were their artist names. Their real names are Susanne Wiik Kalvåg and Anette Wiik Vesterager.
Today they sing gospel, which one can say is quite far away from their pop-image-days, but both girls have always been very religious.
