Pugh Rogefeldt, real name Anders Sture Torbjörn Rogefeldt (Swedish pronunciation: [ˈrûːɡɛˌfɛlt],[A] [ˈrôːɡ-]; born 2 March 1947 in Västerås,[1] Sweden), is a Swedish singer, musician, guitarist and songwriter.

Musical career

Rogefeldt made his breakthrough in the late 1960s with albums such as Ja, dä ä dä and Pughish. Unlike most other Swedish pop musicians who wanted to achieve international success, he sang in Swedish. One song which is commonly associated with Rogefeldt is "Små lätta moln". Other major hits include "Här kommer natten", "Föräldralåten", "Hog Farm", "Dinga Linga Lena" and "Stockholm". In the 1970s, he toured with this band Rainrock, together with Ola Magnell and Janne Lucas Persson. A live double LP was released from this tour, entitled Ett steg till.

In the early 1990s, he was also a member of Grymlings, alongside Göran Lagerberg, Mikael Rickfors and Magnus Lindberg.

The intro from Rogefeldt's "Love, Love, Love" track (from the 1969 album Ja, Dä Ä Dä!) is notable for being sampled and used by DJ Shadow on "Mutual Slump" (from the 1996 album Endtroducing.....).
