John Mogensen ( May 5, 1928 - April 10 1977 ) was a Danish singer, song
writer and pianist.
He was a member of the song quartet Four Jacks (1956-1963) and already
then getting popularity as a song writer but after some years he had a
remarkable come back as a solo singer from 1971. With his rough voice and
frank and direct language he formed a rare link between traditional pop and
the folk song, alternating between direct criticism of society simple love
songs and reflections from the pub milieu that he knew so well. Several of
his songs are still well known today, for example Der er noget galt i
Danmark, Sålænge jeg lever, and Fut i fejemøjet.
After his early death he was almost a cult figure to many enthusiasts, his
songs have been re-issued and even a musical based upon his daily life went
on for several years.Mogensen, John
