About Lenny Kuhr

Lenny Kuhr (born in 22 February 1950 in Eindhoven) is a Dutch singer-songwriter. Kuhr started her singing career in 1967, performing Dutch-language songs in the French chanson tradition. In 1969 she represented The Netherlands in the Eurovision Song Contest with her own composition, De Troubadour. She was one of four winners that year, along with the entries from Spain, France and the United Kingdom. In the early 1970s Kuhr was more successful in France than in her home country. She topped the French charts in 1972 with the song 'Jesus Christo' and performed alongside Georges Brassens. In 1980 she had her biggest hit in the Netherlands: Visite, a song she performed with the French group Les Poppys. She has been releasing records ever since, albeit without major chart success, the most recent effort being a self-titled album for Dutch indie label, Excelsior Recordings (2022). At the turn of the century she was very successful in Dutch theatres with her Dutch-language interpretation of fado music.
