About John Mogensen

- With his rough voice and frank and direct language he formed a rare link between traditional pop and the folk song, alternating between direct criticism of society, simple love songs and reflections from the pub milieu that he knew so well.
- Several of his songs are still well known today, for example Der er noget galt i Danmark, Så længe jeg lever, and Fut i fejemøjet. After his early death he was almost a cult figure to many enthusiasts, his songs have been re-issued and even a musical based upon his daily life went on for several years. In 2018 a biographical movie based on John Mogensen's life was released, by the name of The Way to Mandalay, with Rasmus Bjerg in the leading role.
