Nora Brockstedt on Tuesday buried from Grefsen Church.
Many were present to take a final farewell with one of our most beloved artists.
One of them was NRK veteran Arne Scheie.
– Nora was a wonderful artist, and she was always very kind. We could borrow her cabin in Sweden and I were colleagues with her son Tore in NRK for 40 years, says Scheie.

Musician Per Husby played during the funeral. He was on tour with Brockstedt many times.
– The best thing about her was youthfulness, as she had all the time. When I sat at her house there was never a case of going home early. We sat and listened to her songs, and in it I thought I’d get me off so she made patties with onions! A trick that always worked, says Husby and recalls Brockstedt with a smile.

Ingeborg Sorensen says she will miss wine evenings with Brockstedt, who was one of her close friends.
– And her mood and she remembered so many little things in life. It is argued that short-term memory disappears and long-term memory consists, it came not for Nora! She remembered everything. She was like an ambulatory 50-year-old, says Sørensen.

– It was very special and a great honor. Whilst it was challenging, because she has done so much that no matter what I bring, I must ignore something else. She has done a fantastic amount, also in Sweden, where she was one of the first Norwegian who received great popularity, says Kleveland.

Musician colleagues : To commemorate the Nora
Several famous musicians contributed Brock Nowhere funeral. In addition to Per Husby and Steinar Ofsdal who played flute, sang Inger Lise Rypdal Alf Prøysens “Slip Stein roller.”
– It was Nora himself who wished precisely the song should be sung in funeral, says Inger Lise Rypdal VG.
– It fit fine and I’m very happy to have sung exactly it. It’s a sad day, but it’s still something joy of it all. She was 92 years and delighted audiences for years. Nora was playful and fearless, healthy and resilient, says Inger Lise Rypdal.
Nora Brockstedt (1923-2015) died on November 5 after a short illness. Ever since she won a talent contest in Oslo with Oddvar Sørensen early 1940s, she has been an entertainer. She was equally at home in jazz, which show art and popular music world.
Before television conquered Norwegian TV lounges slipped Brockstedt into the Norwegian radio listeners’ hearts with a variety languishing Prøysen-shows and other oldies .
That she still emerges as Norwegian Eurovision queen she had hardly imagined when she sang themselves into third place in the international Eurovision finals in 1960 with “Voi voi”. And if jazz rhythms and fluctuations stood closest to her, she was always prepared when there was talk about our domestic MGP broadcasts.

Her open attitude to the musical genres, did she in 2006 was the duo Superstars (David Steinmann and Patrick Herman Pintzov) hiphop version of “Voi voi”. Two years earlier she sang a version of “Let it snow, let it snow” with actor Kåre Conradi. His father, Fredrik Conradi song with Brockstedt The Monn Keys in the 50s. VG reviewer Stein Østbø gave a five on VG dice and wrote in part: “No 81 year old in the world may well phrasing as sensually as Nora Brockstedt.”
Now it remains a small sea of good memories, not least on soundtracks and film. Therefore we tango for two with a little girl in flat shoes and shout “Voi voi”!
