Jens Book-Jenssen (1910-1999) was a legendary crooner from Norway, and is domestically recognised as the best-selling Norwegian singer of all time. His record sales count more than 3,5 million copies.
8 years after his death, several previously unreleased recordings and vocal takes have been restored and re-worked to produce a full length album of new material.
As an example, the vocal in the title track, "Et Vennlig Ord" (Eng: "A friendly word") is taken from an audio book interview from 1985. This has been embedded into a musical arrangement produced in 2007.
The video is directed by Torgrim Ødegård.
