Информация о артисте
Tomas Ledin (born February 25, 1952 in Rätan, Sweden) is a Swedish singer, songwriter, guitarist and producer. He grew up in the town of Sandviken.
Tomas Ledin started his career in 1972 when his first single Då ska jag spela was a big hit. Other successful songs followed : Blå, blå känslor (1973), (covered by Björn Skifs), Knivhuggarrock (1975), Festen har börjat (1976), I natt är jag din (1977). At the beginning of the 70's, the singer was influenced by hippie fashion and demonstrated against the Vietnam war. He also took part in a Swedish stage production of the musical Gospell in 1975 and performed in 140 concerts in the Swedish folkparks in 1977.
In 1979, ABBA member Benny Andersson , offered him to record for the group's company Polar Music. The singer joined Abba on their 1979-1980 tour as a backing vocalist but also got the opportunity to sing his own composition Not bad at all during the show. Tomas Ledin also appeared on the Abba Live Dvd and on the Super Trouper Video.
He won the Swedish Melodifestivalen in 1980 and represented Sweden in the Eurovision Song Contest that year with "Just Nu.". The song was a big hit in Scandinavia but also in Greece and Portugal since Tomas Ledin recorded an English version Right now.
In 1982, he released the duet "Never Again" with Agnetha Fältskog of ABBA fame; the song reached number 1 in Chile ( in its Spanish version "Ya nunca más" ) and was popular across Europe. The singer also composed Take good care of your children that she released in 1983 on her album Wrap your arms around me. Another composition by the singer I Got Something was released by Anni-Frid Lyngstad of ABBA on her album Something's going on.
In the 80's, the artist was very successful in Scandinavia but his career abroad failed to reach the same level. He nevertheless toured Germany and the Netherlands on a small scale in 1982 and the following year, he played in front of 60 000 people at the Olympic stadium in Berlin in a show where other international acts took part.
He decided to put an end to his career in 1984 and started to act as a producer for Record Station, his wife's record company. He discovered other singers and successfully produced artists such as Pugh Rogefeldt and Magnus Ugglas. In 1985, he organized a concert for ANC featuring several Swedish artists.
Three years later, Tomas Ledin started to compose again and wrote songs in English. The album Down on the pleasure avenue was released but was not successful. The singer was very disappointed but started to compose again, in Swedish this time. He started to enjoy success again in 1990 when he released a compilation and a new album Tillfällighetrenas spel and has been one of the best selling artists in Sweden since then.
In 2000, 260 000 copies of his compilation album Festen har börjat (samlingsalbum) were sold in Sweden which meant he was awarded three platinum records there. The same year he was also awarded a gold record in Finland for the first time. In 2002, he went on the most massive tour ever planned in Scandinavia and performed in 27 seven shows in Sweden and 8 shows in the rest of Scandinavia. More than 250 000 people saw this show in Northern Europe.
He has been married since 1983 to record company president Marie Ledin, daughter of Stig Anderson . Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.

Eurovision Song Contest 1980 - The Hague
Entry for Sweden
Performer: Tomas Ledin
Song title: Just Nu!
Song writer(s):
Song composer(s): Tomas Ledin
Sang in Position: 8
Final Position: 10
Total Points: 47
The Hague was once more the host city for the song contest after both Israel and the United Kingdom declined to be hosts. Because of the fact that the 1979 winner, Israel, did not have the means of hosting the song contest again, the UK broadcaster BBC was asked if they would be willing to organise the event. They declined, so the Netherlands became the organiser despite the fact that there was not enough time left and Dutch TV NOS had to re-use most of the stage from 1976 when they hosted the contest last. NOS picked April 19th as the date for the song contest, but as this was the Holocaust Memorial Day in Israel, the defending champion decided not to participate which marked the only time when the winner of one Eurovision Song Contest didn't participate in the next.
For the first time in the history of the song contest, an African country - Morocco - participated with Samira, a star in all of the Arabian countries, but when her entry Bitakat Hob ended up at 18th position with just 7 points altogether, Moroccan TV decided that the country should not participate in the contest again. Turkey returned to the contest after one year's absence and Monaco stayed home which meant that the total amount of participating countries amounted to 19 - just as in 1979. Each country brought along a presenter of its own choice along in order to introduce the song in their native language.
The Irish Johnny Logan who would later be called "Mr. Eurovision" secured Ireland's second victory. The Australian-born singer who only became an Irish citizen after he sang for Ireland in the 1980 contest, would later return and win the contest again in 1987. His 1980 victory brought him a number one hit in the UK and numerous television appearances across Europe. What's another year received seven times the maximum of 12 point votes, ending up with 143 points in total.
