About Lenny Kuhr
Lenny Kuhr (born Helena Hubertina Johanna Kuhr, Eindhoven, 1950) is a Dutch singer-songwriter. Her musical career started in 1967.
In 1969 she represented the Netherlands at the Eurovision Song Contest in Madrid, Spain, with the song De troubadour (The troubadour). Lenny Kuhr was one of the four winners, alongside France, Spain and the United Kingdom, the countries placing first in a tie-break with 18 points each. The rules were subsequently changed to avoid such a situation in the future.
Throughout the 1970’s Lenny Kuhr successfully continued to work on her career, receiving Dutch awards such as the Silver Harp and an Edison, and she toured through France where she had a number 1 hit with the song Jesus Christo (originally sung by Brazilian artist Roberto Carlos Braga, who himself won the Sanremo Music Festival in 1968).
In 1980, the singer had a massive hit with the song Visite, a collaboration with the popular French boy’s group Les Poppys.
Lenny Kuhr has released many albums and singles, and frequently performs in small theatre shows.
