Lillebjørn Nilsen(1950-2024)

Is highly regarded as perhaps Norway's leading folk singer, some of his songs have become evergreens even outside Norway. At one time he meet a girl from Iceland who remembered some of his songs from her school song book and she cried out: "Lillebjørn Nilsen!? I thought you were dead!" (as most song-writers are when they find their way into a school song book).
