Lars "Lasse" Lonndahl, born August 19, 1928, is a Swedish singer and actor, born in Stockholm. He is considered the most well-known Swedish singer of the 1950s and 1960s with nicknames including "The Swedish Frank Sinatra" and "World's Oldest Teenager". Even though by the mid 1970s his career had slowed down, he is still considered arguably Sweden's most popular singer of all time and was long a very popular figure in media.

Career

His breakthrough was in 1949 with his first record, "Tangokavaljeren", which reached #1 in Sweden. After that he became one of the leading faces in popular music, scoring 12 #1 hit singles in the 1950s. He also did some movies in the late 1950s.

In the 1960s, he became the first singer to have a #1 single on the new Swedish chart "Svensktoppen" (the most important Swedish chart) with the 1962 single "Midnattstango". It stayed a total of 18 weeks in the charts. Between the years 1962-1972 he had 35 songs on the chart.
