Berghagen is a well known singer-songwriter in Sweden. He released his first record in 1965, aged just 19. Four years later, in 1969, he released the single Teddybjörnen Fredriksson ("The Teddybear Fredriksson"), which has become a classic. Other hits include Sträck ut din hand, En kväll i juni and Stockholm i mitt hjärta.
He hosted the popular summer TV show Allsång på Skansen (Singalong at Skansen) from 1994 to 2003. During his time as host the show increased its ratings from 600,000 to 2,000,000 viewers, which by Swedish standards is considered an impressive rating (Sweden has approximately 10,000,000 inhabitants).
Berghagen also holds the official world record for hitting a golf ball the longest distance, from one country, through another and into a third.[citation needed] This was done at Treriksröset, when he hit a golf ball from Norway, through Sweden, and into Finland.
He was awarded the Illis quorum by the government of Sweden in 2003.[4]
