I am American, but I knew about the Hep Stars and the Hootenanny Singers from Abba. When I was in Stockholm, I bought a Hep Stars cassette, "Juke Box Memories". Benny Anderson was genius, still is.
Hep stars gäller för mig ännu jag minns i ungdomen när man liftade till Hunnebostrand för att se Hep stars det var fantastiskt vilken upplevelse det var
If you were around 10 in the early 60's and grew up on the outskirts of civilisation, in Norway - and had a 4 year old brother that just had spent his first earnings on a cheap portable "Bambino" record player - believe me, this was hot stuff. Getting hold of a HEP STARS single in those days was an exiting thing. Your hands were trembling the first time you put it on. They never played this type of music on Norwegian radios - you had to turn into Swedish ones. The next thing my brother bought was a pair of copies of shoes that the Beatles wore. You wouldn't believe it ! There were scenes in the schoolyard like in the opening scene of "A Hard Days Night." My brother - the hero of the day - had to be rescued by teachers and was for his own safety kept indoors. The day Paul McCartney got married, the girls in school were very mellow and stuck to themselves and cried silent tears in the corners. Times were different and we threw ourselves over anything that would give us a glimps of what was to come. That's why HEP STARS were so great !
That keyboard player is 15/16 year old Benny Andersson (ABBA). He joined the Hep Stars at age 15. That is when the Hep Stars took off. Benny then started writing original material for the Hep Stars. Benny's first instrument was the accordion at age 6. He started playing piano at age 10. Benny is self taught. The first song he wrote for the Hep Stars was 'No Response'. A minor hit. The second song he wrote for HS was 'Sunny Girl. A major hit. Number 1. Benny met Bjorn (ABBA) in 1966. They were both the musical motors of their respective bands. In 1969 Benny met Anni-Frid Lyngstad (ABBA). She was a Swedish national award winning vocalist. Also in 1969, Bjorn met Agnetha Falkskog (ABBA) she was a composer and Swedish pop star. Bjorn & Benny made an album together in 1970 & had their girlfriends sing backup on a song, 'Hey Old Man'. Bjorn & Benny knew that the girls were way better singers and sounded beautiful together. ABBA was born, without anyone knowing it yet. The first song together as an official group (Pre ABBA name) was 'People Need Love' . Benny Andersson & Bjorn Ulvaes have been writing together since 1966. 1966 - present. That is a quick & short history of Hep Stars keyboard player Benny Andersson.
yes Hep Stars 4-ever. Minns de førsta sændingen på tv nær jag var tonåring. och jag skaffade alla hep stars singlar på den tiden och har några kvar hos mej.æn.æven affischer ....oj jøsses..vilka minnen her sett dem live 3 gånger
Thanks for sharing! Svenne Hedlund said recently,"we're still the greatest", and I believe it after this performance. The Hep Stars were hot, and Benny Andersson was a god on keyboards even then.
16. april 2022. Bassist Lennart «Lelle» Hegland fra det svenske 60-tallsbandet Hep Stars er død, 79 år gammel. Hvil i fred/Rest in Peace. Da jeg var 10/11 år gammel hørte jeg Cadillac for første gang - for et kick!
Tänk att man ska behöva läsa om den saken här. Tack för infon och omtanken. Jag var tre år yngre än du när jag hörde Hep Stars "I natt jag drömde." Då hade bandet redan gjort "Cadillac" till en nordisk klassiker.
Jag var 15 år och åkte till Hunnebo för att se o h höra Hepstars. Cadillac var då min favoritlåt. Den låg etta på svensktoppen. Svenne hade en rosa polotröja
Och sen vill jag önska en skiva nu också när jag ändå är i radion å då vill jag höra Cadillac med The Hep Stars för den har jag inte hört på 10 år och så får det inte vara i radio tycker jag.
Ive got a old homevideo from '96 where im 1 y.o dancing in diapers to this absolute banger. I literally went from the maternity ward into my dads all blacked out '66 Coupe Deville hehe
har live-lp,där denna är låt är med..i början säger(skriker) presentatören även namnen på bandmedlemmarna,men det kom inte med här...vinylen på min skiva är grönspräcklig!!häftigt!!!
Well, if you liked this one, do listen to the 1979 BBC recording of Waterloo live, including its coda. Regrettably the night of the concert (from 6 available) that Ludwig chose to release the recent ABBA Live in Wembley CD/DVD, in that song his piano playing is much more restrained. Instead at the BBC's chosen day, Benny was playing Rachmaninov-fast arpeggios swept by the groove, together with the Bass players and all there. Waterloo was the energetic last cusp of the night playlist, being followed by emotive songs to cool down and put a warm vibe on concert-goers for sure. Ooh! what a blast that performance is, best Waterloo live ever, and this is a difficult feat with the many performances of that iconic tune, including the pure innocence of their Eurovision world outing. A good snippet of the very same superb performance was included in the Video Special of 1979 Live tour, right at the cinematic intro mixed with concert footage, travel action and such.
Fortsättning. Rosa polotröja på sig. Jag blev såå besviken. På den tiden hade inte coola killar rosa på sig. Men låten håller fortfarande tycker jag. Maggie Alexandersson
Bästa låten med HEPSTARS. Tack för alla fina låtar som ni har framfört. Tack för allt. VILA I FRID SVENNE HEDLUND. 🌹⚘🌹
Tack för din tid med oss Svenne. Musiken lämnar du kvar.
R.I.P. Svenne. Thank you for the music ♥️

Hep Stars fortfarande låter fantastiskt efter nästan 50 år.
Låten Cadillac är fortfarande spännande
Hep stars gäller för mig ännu jag minns i ungdomen när man liftade till Hunnebostrand för att se Hep stars det var fantastiskt vilken upplevelse det var
they keyboardist is Benny Anderson, one of the four ABBA's in the 70s.....

How are you 10 and your 4 year old brother is cooler than you?
@@gordonshumway8190 Pretty sure he meant "4 year oldER brother"
@@Varangian_af_Scaniae Haha! Well said :(
Detta är Hep Stars absolut bästa låt tycker jag. Tack så mycket Svenne Hedlund.
Benny is SO TALENTED and this band is really good!
An old version of headbanging 😎 😂 love it!!!!!
Woooo..Cadillac..min favoritlåt under 60-talet...Grymt å se dom igen såhär!!
Awesome band! The should have become more popular overseas!!
Detta var Sveriges nationalsång i mina ögon när jag va 7-9 år :) Underbara minnen återkommer

Sweden's most popular band…until April 6, 1974.

One of the truly classics! Still works
I think this is the first time I saw Benny freaking out 😀😃😄😁😆
Vince Taylor did this song as "Brand New Cadillac". Great sixties Rock song! Nice to see young Benny Anderson on keys!
In fact I've understood it was Vince Taylor who wrote this song!
Taylor along with Johnny Kidd were the first British rock'n'rollers.

Cadillac har väl aldrig legat på Svensktoppen
Jag har kanske fel. Det var nog Svenne Hedlund jag ville se. Förlåt! Det var inte meningen.
Blir nostalgisk, bra låt, Tack
Nostalgi för mig, med många minnen
Underbara HepStars mina idoler när jag var liten!❤️
I saw them live in 1965. :)
Jeg glemmer de aldri!!! Danset mye til Hep Stars. Tusen takk
Och sen vill jag önska en skiva nu också när jag ändå är i radion å då vill jag höra Cadillac med The Hep Stars för den har jag inte hört på 10 år och så får det inte vara i radio tycker jag.

I LOVE HEPSTARS
On näistä muusikoista video tallennus. Reissasivat. Suomessa. Tekivät musiikki historiaa. The. Renegats
I like how the guitarist looks at Benny sometimes like "wtf?"
Vilka tider......
Såg dom i Edsvära 1965, vilka killar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jag älskar Janne Frisk. So cool . . .
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Mycket bra låt
I was 10 1966
The 1960's live !!!!!
But: is it live or playback in a studio? There are no amplifiers in sight, nor are there any leads connected to the guitar and bass!
Very nice !
De e nåt speciellt med gammal musik !
Så jädra bra dom var
Som göteborgare så var det Tages som gällde först, sen kom Hep Stars
❤️
Benny is the real star here.

...for the good times
kul att du la upp detta!!!!
The Clash did a great cover of this smash hit.
The original is Vince Taylor and the Playboy's Brand New Cadillac which is one of the two best versions (the other being the Clash).
R.I.P Svenne Hedlund.
I approve of this song😂
Magic for ever
had never heard benny play like that! he's on fire! wow!
they sound like the doors! no wonder they were a hit!
