Tor Lars Oskar Endresen (born 15 June 1959) is aNorwegian singer and composer.
He has entered the Norwegian song selection for theEurovision Song Contest numerous times, but has only won it once, and represented Norway in theEurovision Song Contest 1997, where he finished in last place with nul points.
Endresen was part of a popular Norwegian TV show in the early 1990s, a show with pop music from the 1950s and 1960s calledLollipop, as a singing bartender. The show went on for 30 episodes, and there were released three albums (English lyrics) with music from the show which sold very well in Norway.
A single called "Black Rain" which was released from his albumCall Me Stranger in 1986, was nearly chosen as the themesong for theJames Bond filmThe Living Daylights in 1987. (The choice fell on the Norwegian groupa-ha instead.)[1]
He has been awarded two film music awards fromDisney for his singing contribution to the Norwegian version of Disney films.
