    Did you know Tommy did a duet with Celine Dion once, he was a little bit ill in the rehersal so he couldn't really sing out.
    But when it was time for the show he really SANG and shocked Celine with his voice.

      Some more facts: Benny and Björn had their own bands for several years before ABBA. Agneta was a singer and song writer doing well on her own too. Frida (Anni-Frid) did a lot of backup singing (if memory serves me).
      Stig Andersson (a producer) "created" ABBA by combining the 4 talented people working for his company (Polar), and promoting them in a very intelligent way.
      Benny became the song writer for ABBA, doing vocals and playing the piano. Björn wrote all the lyrics, and sang a few songs and played the guitar. After ABBA split they turned to musicals.
      Few seam to have registered those facts. It was always Agneta and Frida people talked about. The men are not noticed the same way.

    As already pointed out this was written with Tommy Körberg in mind.
    Chess was written before Kristina from Duvemåla.
    I was lucky enough to see this live with Tommy Körberg and Helen Sjöholm.
    A third version you need to listen to is Tommy Johansson covering this. Tommy J has coveted several of the big hits by Tommy K.
    Listen to another grest song covered by both Tommies. Stad i ljus.

    Can recommend Tommy Körberg and Celine Dion - Beauty and the beast. Tommy didn't put in much effort into the rehearsals, so the look on her face is pretty funny. 🧐

    Strange enough Tommy Körberg sounds very alike Josh Groban time to time..

    The choir Only Boys Aloud sing this song in Welsh language. I think also Only Men Aloud do it aswell.
