Thomas Winding has died. RIP

For those of you that does not know of Super Carla she's a rainbow to all Danish children in the late sixties.

Kind of musical dynasty, the Windings, I get it.
This Thomas is father to the Kasper Winding, who once
were the husband of Brigitte Nielsen.

Kasper played at a few tracks of the Rolling Stones' Tattoo You
(so now er're no longer in a OT thread).. !

M a y b e Thomas also is related to.... the famous jazz bassist Mads Winding?

Here's Thomas Winding (1936-2008)

Sad news. Thomas Winding had the best voice one can imagine. He was an amazing story teller. Not just Super Carla, but also Emil Från Lönneberg, Pippi and Alfons Åberg. He did voice over on Sonja Fra Saxogade too, didn't he?

Luckily B&U have rebroadcasted these great programmes so younger generations like myself had a chance to watch these.

I can still remember watching Super Carla and hearing She's A Rainbow during that.

Sohoe, could ya get us a sound sample one of these days?
Since I was Denmarkified from age 8 I might also have been exposed to some of it?

Bro, this is the best I could come up with. It's a documentary on him....sofar no youtube clips of Super Carla available.

Here's part 1:

The beginning of Super Carla can be watch at [www.dr.dk] . Pick 100 Klip, Alfabetisk, S-T and pick the leftmost of the two Super Carla entries.

BTW you can see how a day in january 68 looked in the woods north of Copenhagen.
