Mats Rådberg

Born in Stockholm, Sweden on June 8, 1948, Mats Rådberg was a Swedish country music singer and songwriter. His recording career began in the late 1960s with the band Rank Strangers. They released one album under that name – Country Our Way (1969) – before they briefly changed their name to Rank Strangers featuring Mats Rådberg. By the early 1970s, he was releasing albums under the name Rankarna & Mats Rådberg. He participated in Melodifestivalen 1977 (the contest to help find the Swedish entry to the Eurovision Song Contest). His song, “Du och jag och sommaren”, took 10th place. By the late 1970s, he had begun releasing albums under his own name as well as albums with Rankarna. His 1980 collaboration with Elizabeth Andreasson, I’m the Singer, You’re the Song, was a great success. Three years later, he had a hit single with “Peta in en pinne I brasan” (a Swedish-language version of Shel Silverstein’s “Put Another Log on the Fire”). Rådberg continued to tour in Sweden and release albums including The Race Is On (with Rankarna). Mats Rådberg died on June 27, 2020 at the age of 72.
