Usidom Wohlin

Born Karl-Åke Wohlin but took the name Usidom after the German island with the same name. The reason behind the name change was a chat between the Swedish troubadour Alf Hambe and Wohlin a late night at the pub Lilla Bommen where they talked about the Swedish king Gustav II Adolf and his German conquests of Rügen, Usedom and Wollin. Hambre suggested that Wohlin should take another of these areas as name as he already had one of them (Wollin = Wohlin). Wohlin has broken his neck twice, in 1972 and in 1977, which made him famous in the Guiness Book Of Records. The song "Bohuslän" was his biggest hit which spend a week at the Swedish hit list "Svensktoppen" between February 17, 1984 to February 24.
