Georg Riedel is one of the most prominent composers of children's songs in Sweden. He composed a variety of film scores for Astrid Lindgren's books, including the theme music for "Karlsson from the Roof" and songs from the famous Pippi Longstocking stories.
He met the composer Jan Johansson, the creator of the iconic music for “Hey, Pippi longstocking,” at a young age. In the mid-1960s they recorded Johansson's album ‘Jazz på svenska’ (“Jazz in Swedish”)
