Per Gessle and Marie Frederickson first met in Hallstand in Sweden in 1970 when Marie was playing the electric piano with a band called Strul. The group wasn’t making a lot of money so she was also working in a hospital as a nurse, teaching music and working as a gardener. Per was spending his time weighing mushrooms, singing folk songs to sick people in hospitals and teaching in a school. Later, in the 1980s Per was performing in a group called Golden Times and Marie was a solo singer. They were both very successful and lots of people bought their records and went to their concerts. Per left his group and began to sing with Marie.

An American student took a CD of their music home to Minneapolis and told his local radio station, “You must play this record!” The songs was called The Look. After a few weeks, DJs all over America were playing the song. It wasn’t long before The Look was number one in the American pop charts. Now they are very famous everywhere, but in Sweden they are of course superstars, you can even see their pictures on Swedish postage stamps.
