Magnus Kvintett

Swedish dance band from Moholm, formed in 1962.

Periodically during the 1960s, the singer Ingela Fritzon also participated. Magnus kvintett had success at the Svensktoppen

Famous songs are "Varför", ”Ska du någonsin bli min?” and "Monica". The band disbanded during the 1980s, but in 2011 there was a reunion with Linda Nilsson. The lyrics to "Varför" were attributed on the original EP's record label - probably incorrectly - to Karin Boye. On later compilation records, it is attributed solely to Magnus Andersson.

The members were:
Magnus Andersson (kapellmeister) - tenor saxophone
Lars Waldefeldt - vocals and guitar
Per Waldefeldt - drums
Kjell Andersson - bass guitar
Berndt Gustavsson - guitar
Rolf Herbolzheimer - organ
