Would hate to have my girlfriend voice a song called "Gone is Love" for me!

I've got "Everybody Knows" on the way. Will post again after I've heard it.

The surname larson is one of the most common swedish surnames , its like Smith or Johnson in the us, ,if she whas norwegian she would definitly have been named larsEn , with an e instead of the o,i think it is a very uncommon name in Denmark , but she could be finnish i guess ,or part of the swedish minority in finland(wich is , i guess finnish people who speak Swedish , since they have been there for generations now). and Inge is a boys name , the girlie version would be Inga , or Inger.. might be a misspelling , or maybe she had som hippie type parents who just didnt care? or maybe its a boy with a deep but girlieish voice, hehe ?
but i guess she could still be german or whatever , i dont really know.. im just saying though..

Sorry to ruin the basis of your argument, but her name is Larsen, not Larson. she is Danish, Inge is a regular girl's name in Denmark.

I thought she was german, because she sings in german language. I got the Moodisc 45 It May Sound Silly with the John Holt/Inge Larsen combination. At least on this single she sings in german language.

I searched the internet and this is one of the few entries I found regarding her (look at 25):

I aksed mr Mudie once, and he replied she was from Denmark, maybe he was wrong.

German was for the longest time mandatory to study in Scandinavian schools - so it shouldn't be a surprise if she sung in German.

Also, Larson is not that common in Sweden as it tends to be with double-s here (ie. Larsson)

jumbo: oh, sorry bout that , thats emberassing.. i heard clips of the two 45s on moodisc on Ernie Bs earlier today, and i was intrigued and tried to find out more wich is how i ended up on this thread.. , and i guess they got the spelling wrong (you´ll have to search for larson to find her there..)
well then shes danish!
