I'm right now reading this book about the singer Carola. I know she is not very known outside of Scandinavia, and the book is a Swedish one, so... why do I want to share this with the English readers? Well, in the beginning of the book is referred to a performance of Carola in Globen in Stockholm. Please click on the image if you want to see and hear it. It is a VERY powerful interpretation of the U2-song Pride (In the name of love). Lately I have come to prefer more quite music in intimate settings - and this is something completely different - with a 5000 head choir in the background in front of thousands of people. WOW!!!!! Very nice to be reminded of Carola, who is a part of the childhood of me and those of my generation. And for me she is special of course, as we have been involved in the same church, and I'm sure she has influenced me a lot musically. A very gifted and smart woman who sings from her heart and is very DIRECT.
