Biography.
From the 1960s and through the 1970s, he sold more than one million albums, most of his songs being Norwegian translations of classics and famous pop songs of that period. Ingebrigtsen was heavily involved in the "Treff"-series ("Treff" being a direct Norwegian translation of "hit") which by 1978 finally comprised 21 discs consisting of translations of popular foreign songs. Among his hits were Norwegian versions of "Only You (and You Alone)" ("Bare du") and "It Never Rains in Southern California" ("Solen skinner alltid der du aller helst vil være"). After this, Ingebrigtsen stepped down his own musical activity and only sporadic releases such as "Stjernetegn" and "Soldatenes kortstokk" in 1988 and 1989. He continued working as a producer for other musicians. Ingebrigtsen released "Edelstein – de 20 beste" in 2001.
He is the father of pop-singer Christian Ingebrigtsen, who is a member of the England-based boy band A1.
