Hanne Krogh

Hanne Krogh (born January 24, 1956 in Haugesund; baptised Hanne Krogh Sundbø) is a Norwegian singer. She recorded her first album in 1970 when she was 14 and has been a fixture in Norwegian popular music since then.

Already the following year she won the Norwegian Eurovision Song Contest selection, the Melodi Grand Prix, with the sweet pop-ballad "Lykken er..." ("Happiness Is..."). She didn't have much success in the European final however, but 14 years later she won the Eurovision Song Contest with Elisabeth Andreasson, whom together formed the duo Bobbysocks. She also took part for Norway as a part of the quartet Just4Fun in the Eurovision Song Contest 1991.
