The duo was formed in 1983. Both
Hanne Krogh and Elisabeth Andreassen were frequent Eurovision contestants. Krogh
has appeared three times, all for Norway - in 1971 as a soloist,
with Bobbysocks! in 1985 and as part of Just 4 Fun in 1991.
Andreassen sang for Sweden as one half of Chips in 1982 and
after winning with Bobbysocks, teamed up with Jan Werner
Danielsen in 1994 and sang solo in 1996. According to John
Kennedy O'Connor's The Eurovision Song Contest - The Official
History Andreassen is one of only four lead artists to sing
in the contest on four occasions and is also one of only four
artists to finish both first and second in Eurovision (1985 &
1996).The single "Let it
swing" was released on the RCA label in most countries outside
Scandinavia. It entered the UK singles charts on 25 May 1985,
and rose to a high of number 44; it remained in the charts for 4
weeks.
Bobbysocks! was disbanded in
1988, however, Krogh and Andreassen still appear on stage
together. They made a guest appearance at Congratulations, the
50th anniversary Eurovision concert in Copenhagen, Denmark in
October 2005.
In May 2010, Bobbysocks!
released their compilation album "Let It Swing - Best Of
Bobbysocks.
