In 64 at a gig they were missing Janne Frisk who was touring the north with accordion player Erik Frank and Svenne Hedlund from Clifftones replaced him. Svenne left his former band to join Hep Stars.
Åke Gerhard, songwriter and director of Olga record label took them under his wings and began managing them. They started touring in folk parks in the summer of 64. They released their first singles the same year and when Hans Östlund left the band he was replaced by Benny Andersson (Elverkets Spelmanslag and later of ABBA fame).
In '65 the band became full time musicians and they scored their first hit single with Cadillac ending up on 9th on Kvällstoppen, staying there for 14 weeks.
After playing in national TV they managed to place two more songs on the billboards, having three top list positions simultaneously for a time and leading to their great break through.
Hep Stars broke up in 1970 ca. Svenne Hedlund had a successful career with his wife Lotta Hedlund (born Charlotte Walker in 1944) as Svenne & Lotta.
SUNNY GIRL
Hep Stars Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And no-one can declare
That she's something that I never need
And never want to care for
She's a sunny girl, a real girl,
That's why she's satisfying
She will never ask for anything but you
Ain't that a girl
She's domestic, she is property
She's slim like reed
She's devertin', she is faithful
Ain't that all you need
And I'm souring like a feather
In a world I've just created
For a very simple reason
That is one, she's mine
She's all mine

She's a sunny girl, a real girl
She's a cheerful and genuine girl
And no-one can declare
Nobody can argue
That she's something that I never need
That I don't require her
And never want to care for
And don't want to take care of her
That's why she's satisfying
That's why she's fulfilling
She will never ask for anything but you
She will only desire you
Ain't that a girl
Isn't that wonderful
She's domestic, she is property
She's a homemaker, she belongs to me
She's slim like reed
She's slender like a tall, thin plant
She's devertin', she is faithful
She's entertaining and loyal
Ain't that all you need
Isn't that everything you require
And I'm souring like a feather
And I'm flying high as a feather
In a world I've just created
In a world I've just made up
For a very simple reason
For a straightforward motive
That is one, she's mine
That reason is that she's mine
She's all mine
She exclusively belongs to me

Så ung Svenne Hedlund är här.
Att Benny Andersson tycker om barockmusik märks klart och tydligt.
