Charles Norman, also known as Charlie Norman (née Karl-Erik Albert Norman; 4 October 1920 – 12 August 2005), was a Swedish musician and entertainer. Norman is regarded as Sweden's leading boogie-woogie piano player in the 1940s,[1] but an accomplished all-round pianist.[2]
He collaborated with other artists such as Alice Babs and Sickan Carlsson. He wrote scores for a number of films and also starred as an actor in several. His boogie-woogie version of Edvard Grieg's Anitra's Dance earned him some notoriety in Norway.
