Ole Erling was born Erling Axel Olsen on July 29th 1938 in
Nørrebro, Copenhagen, Denmark. Although he grew up in a musical home, it was
not immediately apparent that Erling, the youngest of three brothers, would
have a career as a professional musician. He worked for a period as a
caretaker, and then trained as an electrician.
He was once called in to the "Hammondhuset" in the
Stroget in Copenhagen (a store specialising in organs), to repair a light. He
heard the sound of the "Hammond" organ being played by a skilled
musician, and suddenly decided that he would like to learn. Erling bought a
"Hohner" organ from an orchestra in Italy which had run out of money,
and were selling their instruments.
Here's " How Deep Is Your Love" from above album
However, in the early 1980s interest in organ music was
waning in Denmark, and his career slowed almost to a stop. Erling returned to
the music scene after buying one of the new "Wersi" organs, happily
coinciding with resurgence in interest in organ music, and for several years he
played at the Langeland Festival.
In 2015, he sold his record company, and drastically reduced
his concert appearances, though he still occasionally released new CDs, though
they were now available only online. As an expert in making music with
computers, Erling also became a fixture at the annual "Umbraco"
developer conference in Copenhagen. Ole Erling died in Smørum on February 20th
2016, aged 77. (Info da.Wikipedia & IMDB)
