Odd Børre Sørensen (born 9 August 1939 in Harstad) is a former Norwegian pop singer. He was better known by his stage name of Odd Børre. Internationally he is best known for the song "Stress" that he performed in the Eurovision Song Contest of 1968. He sang in the Kjell Karlsen's Orchestra (1962–70) and was releasing singles during that period. He retired from full-time professional singing in 1970 and became an insurance company agent (although he did appear in the Norwegian national finals in 1971 and 1977). After retiring in the early 2000s (decade) Odd Børre teamed up again with Kjell Karlsen and is currently performing.
