Love on the Roxette
“Fredriksson was born in 1958 in the south of Sweden. She and Gessle met in the ’80s, and after their individual careers gained traction locally the two formed Roxette in 1986. Soon, the world took notice. The duo’s crossover success came from hits like ‘It Must Have Been Love,’ which was featured in the Richard Gere-Julia Roberts movie Pretty Woman.” It was also featured in the recent Seth Rogen/Charlize Theron movie, Long Shot, which, weirdly, I just watched last night — and pulled up the song which is now in my head in a few different ways. Marie Fredriksson, Roxette Singer, Dies at 61.
