On 27 February 1975, Harpo recorded the song for which he would become most famous - "Moviestar". One of the backing vocalists on that day was Anni-Frid Lyngstad (Frida) from ABBA. It has sometimes been reported that Agnetha Faltskog also sang on the song but this is incorrect. The second female singer is Lena Ericsson. "Moviestar" went on to become a huge hit. It reached number 1 in Sweden and Germany, number 2 in Australia and number 24 in the UK. A Swedish language version was also released in Sweden which went to number 1 on the Svensktoppen radio chart. Here is the video.
Harpo (born Jan Harpo Torsten Svensson, 5 April 1950,) is a Swedish pop star known under the stage name Harpo.
You should be arrested before you can unearth more of this music. Either that or we should be following you around with darts tipped with a very strong sedative. Harpo? Shirley & Squirrely? This is getting scary...but as long as you're working in this area, how about casting a look at "Purple People Eater"?
