Career
Career
Lis Sørensen's music career began when she recorded an album titled It's So Easy in 1970, with her music teacher Holger Laumann. Laumann was a member of the jazz/rock band Tears. Lis Sørensen became educated as music pedagogue at the Royal Academy of Music, Aarhus/Aalborg, and achieved fame with Shit & Chanel in the 1970s. Shit & Chanel became famous as the first all-female rock band from Denmark, which really made a commercial breakthrough in the music industry. Naturally, the Red Stocking Movement (Denmark) also admired the band. Lis Sørensen also sang backing vocals for Gasolin', Sebastian and others. Especially Sebastian also helped Lis Sørensen achieve success in the music industry, since they collaborated on some albums that were popular in Denmark. Anne Linnet Band consisted of the singers Lis Sørensen, Anne Linnet and Sanne Salomonsen, as well as Holger Laumann and others. Anne Linnet Band was a major success in Danish rock history for the few years the band existed. After Anne Linnet Band dissolved, Lis Sørensen made her debut album as a solo artist Himmelen ned på Jorden in 1983, followed by other solo albums. Lis Sørensen's commercial pinnacle as a solo artist was her album Hjerternes sang from 1989, which has reached sales of 350,000 copies (only surpassed by Sanne Salomonsen with regard to sales of Danish rock albums from 1989). Lis Sørensen's compilation album Indtil dig igen: Sørensen's bedste was released in 1996, and has reached sales of 170,000 copies. She has also collaborated with Sanne Salomonsen and Tamra Rosanes in the music group Cowgirls, which recorded one album in 2001 named Girls Night Out.
