Trille

Danish singer/songwriter and musician, born 6 March 1945 in Copenhagen, died 17 October 2016 same place. Started out in the 1960's mostly a troubadour reviving old traditional and children's songs. In 1970 she caused a minor scandal performing the - to some lightly blasphemous - sexually liberated song [r=2437296] ("The Eye") about God not knowing anything about sex as he never had any. Later in the 1970's she grew into a major singer/songwriter, especially popular within the Danish women's liberation movement for her discretely protesting realistic songs. Her 1970/80's recordings features some of Denmark's leading jazz and rock session players like [a=Hugo Rasmussen], [a=Ken Gudman], [a=Ole Fick], [a=Anders Koppel], and [a=Øyvind Ougaard]. By 1988 she stopped all musical activity and turned herself towards lecturing and television activities.
