Birgit Rose-Marie Anlert, known professionally as Towa Carson, is a Swedish schlager singer. Born on March 31, 1936, in Eskilstuna, Sweden, she won an amateur singing competition in 1954. Her early career included performing with Leif Kronlund's jazz dance orchestra and achieving success with the 1959 single “De tre klockorna”, which reached number 4 on Swedish charts. Her major hits include “Spara sista dansen för mig”, “Jag måste ge mig av” — which spent 17 weeks on Svensktoppen and reached the top position — and “Visa mig hur man går hem”, a duet with Lasse Lönndahl that reached number 12. Carson competed in Melodifestivalen in 1967, performing “Alla har glömt” and “Vem frågar vinden”, which placed fourth and fifth, respectively. She returned to the competition in 1968, placing third with “Du vet var jag finns”. In 2004, she collaborated with Ann-Louise Hanson and Siw Malmkvist as the trio Hanson, Carson & Malmkvist to perform “C'est la vie”, which finished in tenth place. Her other releases include the 1976 album Tillbaka igen.
