It looks like we don't have a Synopsis for this title yet. And as Duke Ellington said himself: "Alice Babs is probably the most unique artist I know." This documentary film features plenty of historical material, also showing Alice Babs from her private side: as a vivacious lady who has held on to her happy and "up-beat" nature into old age. But in 1963 she became world famous thanks to performances with her own idol: Duke Ellington. In the 1940s she became a youth idol as a singing actress ("Swing it magistern") beyond the boundaries of Sweden. Just like Louis Armstrong, she used her voice as an instrument. At that time she had already discovered Afro-American music: scat and jazz. She learned singing from her mother and recorded her first record when she was 15. Born in 1924 in Kalmar, Sweden, the daughter of a silent film pianist, she more or less grew up in the cinema. In Germany she was only known as a schlager-singer ("Ein Mann muss nicht immer schön sein"), but in actual fact Alice Babs had always been much, much more. In the 1950s she was known as the "Schwedenmädel" (lit: "Swedish girl"), after her first German film of 1954.
