Editor's note

Carola, from Eurovision teen to Swedish pop mainstay

A Swedish singer whose career spans from 1983 Eurovision to decades of pop and holiday albums.

For a sense of her range, try 'Främling' from her Eurovision days and the later Swedish track 'Håll mitt hjärta.'

She first caught attention at 17 with 'Främling' at the 1983 Eurovision Song Contest, then built a catalog that includes both original pop like 'Don't Wanna Be Alone' and Swedish-language songs like 'Håll mitt hjärta.' Her voice has been a steady presence through albums from the 80s to 2019's 'Christmas in Bethlehem,' often working with guitarist Anders Berglund.

She started in children's choirs before her Eurovision appearance. After that early spotlight, she released albums across decades, from her self-titled 1983 debut to later works like 'Credo' in 2004.
