Herreys was a Swedish pop group, consisting of the three Mormon brothers Richard, Louis and Per Herrey. They won the Eurovision Song Contest 1984 with the song "Diggi-Loo Diggi-Ley". In the Swedish lyrics of the song, written by Britt Lindeborg, a man relates the story of how he finds a pair of golden shoes that will make him surpass any obstacle. Herreys continued to record and tour for a few years, but had no hits of the same magnitude as the Eurovision winner. With their young crowd of followers slowly waning, the band eventually broke up.
The three brothers reunited to perform "Diggi-Loo Diggi-Ley" in the intermission of one of the Swedish Melodifestivalen semifinals of 2002. Richard made an appearance at Congratulations, a 50th anniversary concert, held in Copenhagen, Denmark in October 2005. In February 2006 Richard released his first solo album, "Jag e Kung".
