In their later years, they returned to Sweden. At the end of Alice Babs' career, mother and daughter again toured together.ġ973–2004 Babs and her husband resided in Costa del Sol (in Spain), while still working in Sweden and internationally. Titti Sjöblom appeared with her mother in recordings and radio shows from the mid-1950s, and also on an early-1960s advertising for Toy Chewing Gum (see inset). Their three children are Lilleba Sjöblom Lagerbäck (born 1945), Lars-Ivar (Lasse) Sjöblom (born 1948), and Titti Sjöblom (born 1949). In 1963, her recording of "After You've Gone" (Fontana) reached No. Her voice had a range of more than three octaves Ellington said that when she was not available to sing the parts that he had written for her, he had to use three different singers. Among other works, Babs participated in performances of Ellington's second and third Sacred Concerts which he had written originally for her. The group would later tour the United States together, before dissolving in 1965.Ī long and productive period of collaboration with Duke Ellington began in 1963. The same year, she formed Swe-Danes with guitarist Ulrik Neumann and violinist Svend Asmussen. In 1958, she was the first artist to represent Sweden in the Eurovision Song Contest, finishing in 4th place with the song "Lilla stjärna" ("Little Star"). A vicar called the Babs cult the "foot and mouth disease of cultural life".
Despite being cast as the well-behaved, good-hearted, cheerful girl, the youth culture forming with Babs as its icon caused outrage among members of the older generation. After making her breakthrough in the film Swing it magistern ('Swing It, Teacher!', 1940), she appeared in more than a dozen Swedish-language films.
