Gert Lengstrand

About

Gert Lengstrand is a Swedish singer/songwriter who first rose to fame in the early-1960s as a member of the well known Swedish pop group The Streets. After feeling the artistic trappings of the group's confines, Lengstrand would go on to leave the group in 1966 to launch his own successful solo career. Though still performing his characteristic pop music fairly regularly, Lengstrang has also found a career as a professional songwriter--writing tunes for younger and less experienced vocalists.
