Lill LindforsFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaLill Lindfors (born Lillemor Lindfors, on May 12, 1940, in Helsinki, Finland) is a Finnish-Swedish jazz singer. She has been performing in Scandinavia with minor and major success since the 1960s. She was married in 1969 to Director Peter Wester, with whom she had one child, though the couple divorced in 1973. Ms. Lindfors's performance of "Nygammal vals (Hip Man Svinaherde)" ("New-Old Waltz (Hip Pig Breeder)") with Svante Thuresson took second place in the 1966 Eurovision Song Contest. She was a presenter at the 1985 Eurovision Song Contest in Gothenburg, Sweden, and was most famous for suffering a wardrobe malfunction live, during the contest, after passing through a part of the elaborate set. She later admitted it was a gag, not practised during rehearsals beforehand. She also performed "Musik skall byggas utav glädje" ("My Joy Is Building Bricks of Music") as the contest's major opener. In 1988, she became Sweden's Goodwill Ambassador to UNICEF. Ms. Lindfors released a new single in 2006, "Ditt Vackra Leende". [edit] Selected chart rankings
