Track Of The Day: Family Four - En Häst Utan Namn (Metronome)


Family Four were a Swedish pop group who recorded during the 1960s and 1970s. They were made up of Berdnt Öst, Marie Bergman, Agnetha Munther and Pierre Isacsson. They won Melodifestivalen twice, in 1971 with ‘Vita Vidder’ and in 1972 with ‘Härliga sommardag’. They went on to represent Sweden in the Eurovision Song Contest on these two occasions. They finished sixth in 1971 and 13th in 1972.” (Credit To The Reddit)

This version of America’s classic ‘Horse With No Name’ could be the Swedish equivalent of The New Seekers covering ‘Walk On The Wild Side’, was almost certainly something that featured on prime time TV in the early 70s, and is incredibly Balearic.
