Grethe & Jorgen Ingmann were the husband-and-wife duo who won the 1963 Eurovision Song Contest for their home country, Denmark. The pair had been wed since 1956, by which time guitarist <a href="spotify:artist:1mUxA8Bcd9qdMgH9uMOIQb">Jorgen Ingmann</a> (born in Copenhagen on April 26, 1925) was already established among Denmark's leading performers. Working alongside jazz violinist <a href="spotify:artist:52by2zEnqIhLTfdC3x7GMp">Svend Asmussen</a> brought <a href="spotify:artist:1mUxA8Bcd9qdMgH9uMOIQb">Ingmann</a> his earliest acclaim, during the 1940s and early '50s; by the late '50s, however, he was performing as Jorgen Ingmann & His Guitar and, in January 1961, he scored a massive hit with his version of the guitar instrumental "Apache" -- a U.K. hit for <a href="spotify:artist:03hfAxVdAWj7kxDnSG0fLD">the Shadows</a> the previous year. <a href="spotify:artist:1mUxA8Bcd9qdMgH9uMOIQb">Ingmann</a>'s cover rose to number two in the U.S. chart and number four in Canada. He followed up with "Anna," a number 54 hit that summer, while Danish hits included the classic "Tequila" and "Pinetop's Boogie Woogie." In 1963 <a href="spotify:artist:1mUxA8Bcd9qdMgH9uMOIQb">Ingmann</a> and wife <a href="spotify:artist:74NZRc4VtnABmp3rP9e1Gs">Grethe</a> took part in the Danish Melodi Grand Prix competition; they won, and were promptly dispatched to London to represent Denmark at Eurovision -- staged in the U.K. that year after the scheduled host, France, refused. There, "Dansevise" proved triumphant. The duo continued performing together into the 1970s. They divorced in 1975. ~ Dave Thompson, Rovi
