[78-L] Alice Babs dies at 90

[Kristjan Saag]

Shirley Temple was the international child star; in Scandinavia Alice 
Babs was the teenage gal who made jazz popular among the broad public, 
thanks to a couple of jazz-orientated movies in the early 40's, some of 
which also had great impact in other parts of Europe, especially in the 
war years when jazz was pushed back by nationalist regimes.
Alice Babs recorded with Svend Asmussen (still alive at 97), Erwin Lehn, 
Paul Kuhn, Duke Ellington and most of the Swedish jazz elite, including 
Bengt Hallberg, Arne Domnerus and Harry Arnold. Most of her production, 
though, was in popular music.
