Roxette were the band, the lead singer was Marie Fredriksson, Per Gessle the main guitarist wrote arranged most of their songs. Marie passed away in 2019 to a brain tumour, RIP Marie. You are so right, she'll be forever young to all us fans.

[@andreadeamon6419]

That was a shock to us all

[@pahbradley]

Yes she is greatly missed

[@gershman23]

Mostly true, Marie wasn't the lead singer through all their albums, they shared vocals and Per had several leads as well "Joyride" and "The Look" to name a few.

God I miss the early 90s - this song reminds me of it so much. Also, look at the crowd in the video - notice something - not a single phone LOL the good old days

[@skwervin1]

I remember when the song The Look came out. Went straight out and bought the album on tape and wore it out. Not a bad song on the album. So sad to hear she died a few years ago. A wonderful talent and such a voice!

[@AgenteusaRR]

My favorite pop band of all time, i dont know why they always had those nostalgia sounds that always make you feel good when youre feeling bad, hard to explain. And they sold quite some records, they just don't top ABBA as the best selling swedish group , cause its ABBA :P

[@robertcarlsson1032]

It´s from -88, Per Gessle the frontman with the black Telecaster is the main song writer. One of swedens most known song writers and a former teenage idol as the front man of Gyllene Tider. Marie had one of the best voices ever coming out of Sweden.

[@DennisGayhart-s3t]

I gotta say her back up singer is also fantastic. While all the other performers had big hair, she killed it with her short hair style.

[@marox79]

Mia Lindgren was the backing vocalist then. Yes, she did great.

[@chelseahaley8350]

Yes!!! They have so many good songs! Joyride, The Look, & Dangerous are a few other bangers worth checking out!

[@sumonjamal1653]

Marie Fredriksson was a star in Sweden before she and Per Gessle formed Roxette in the 80's and broke big internationally w/ the album 'Look sharp!' around 1989... When Roxette was touring on the album 'Joyride' in 1991, she met her husband whom she married privately in 1994 and had 2 children... In 2002, Marie collapsed and was hospitalized... She was diagnosed w/ a brain tumor and needed cancer treatments which put her career on hold for years. After recording some solo records, Marie and Per reunited as Roxette and started recording and touring again in 2009... their final album 'Good karma' was released in 2016 and Marie was advised by doctors to cease touring and performing as her health deteriorated from the cancer returning... Marie Fredriksson passed away in 2019 at age 61 (R.I.P)

As a Swede I have to say, walking barefoot is not that unusual. When I grew up I used to walk barefoot all summer long, in the woods, in the streets around our house and of course inside our house. I still take my socks off as soon as I step into my house. Next Roxette song should be It must have been love. ❤

[@ChrissyRaeofsunshine]

Same in New Zealand we even go to the supermarket with no shoes. Well some of us.

[@AnitaWatson-e8e]

Im a 59 yo country kid and I still go barefoot as much as possible..Once you get them a lil tough theres nothing like feeling whats under your feet...Also Ronnie Van Zandt always was barefooted on stage cause he liked the feeling on the stage as they played...Awesome song

Roxette formed in Sweden yes back in the late 70s. The lead singer Marie Fredriksson passed away in 2019 age 61 of cancer, having survived for over 15 years since since her brain tumour was diagnosed.

You should listen to her songs (the look), (dangerous) (fading like a flower) and my favorite ( joyride) they were amazing the short time in the very late 80s 88/89- 96 for the most part.

[@795annie]

None of those songs were hers per say. They are Roxette songs (as the group) written mainly by Per Gessle. Marie wrote her own songs in Swedish and recorded those as a solo artist.

There is an interesting passing of the torch between great female leads from Swedish bands. Abba kills it through the 70's into the early 80's and then passed the torch on to Roxette who killed the late 80's then passed it to Ace of Base to handle the early 90's. Love all three of them

[@billkeithchannel]

Ace of Base was Swedish? All I knew is that she wants another baby and she's going for it.

[@jonasaman9104]

To add to your chain: Ace of Base was produced at Cheiron Studios in Stockholm where the recently hired Max Martin was assigned a roll in the team producing The Sign. (For those who do not know who he is, please google you will not be disapointed)

Hello Black Pegasus. Roxette were the first gig we attended with my daughter, 5 at that time, 22 now. It was in Manchester. Swedish princess, as you called her, just recovered from stroke and bad bath fall. She couldn't read but she was blasting new music alongside all hits. Magic. It was proper magic. It must have been love 💞

[@BadMoonandStars]

Hi, I hope your daughter can remember a little of it! It wasn't a stroke. She collapsed in the bathroom in 2002 and hit her head. At the hospital they discovered a brain tumour. It was a mixture of that and the subsequent treatments that caused her such huge health issues and it's what eventually took her in 2019. 😢😢😢

[@swcoder]

Love Roxette. The guitarist sings a lot of their songs as well and they do a lot of duet stuff. The 2 you've done were probably their biggest hits. Check out something like "The Look" to see how they got rolling. Lot's of good stuff from them if you do more.

[@TWFydGlu]

She was a brunette but bleached it blonde. The guitarist with black hair, the other half of Roxette, was a blonde who dyed it.

[@rebeccacurtis6680]

Your comment about whether she was barefoot because she was " grounding" surprised me & made me giggle. Not everyone knows about grounding (aka Earthing). Roxette was a great band. Loved so many of their songs, this one included. So sad, we lost Marie to cancer. She was amazing. A couple of other songs to chk out would be "Joyride" and "(She's Got) The Look." Enjoyed your reaction. That Basic Instinct reference, though. Lol.

This was a live performance. The album version sounds different.

[@BadMoonandStars]

They were fantastic live. The castle ruin they are performing in (real concert) is on a Swedish island. Marie's solo material is amazing but it was actually Per Gessle who was the main songwriter for Roxette (the guitarist who was at the front of the stage with Marie at the end). Marie fell ill with a brain tumour in 2002 which caused her many health issues. She died in 2019.😢 This song went to No 1 on the US Billboard. So did The Look, It Must Have Been Love and Joyride. They have sooo more many more great songs you can react to though.

[@olalj123]

Black Pegasus, I love your reactions. To answer a few of your questions; this is an 80's song. The Swedish Band Roxette was formed by Per Gessle (guitar and vocals) and Marie Fredriksson (vocals). Per Gessle had previously seen success in Sweden with the band Gyllene Tider (Golden (as in the best of) Tider (times) and Marie Fredriksson had success as a singer/songwriter. Growing up in the 80's in Sweden I didn't necessarily love their music but I did love Marie's looks... Unfortunately Marie Fredriksson passed away in 2019. There are plans to revive Roxette with another lead vocalist, Lena Philipsson.
