The mix is a fascinating journey into Swedens musical past. Soul singers such as Magnus Kvintett and Tommy Körberg soulfully emulate the originals or alternatively reinterpreting the lyrics for a Swedish audience.

Formed by Leif Carlqvist in 1968 The Gimmicks were part of the pioneering bands bringing black and Latin music home to Sweden. Today The Gimmicks sought after albums list under ‘Scandinavian Soul rare groove’.
