Omg yes, was just going to say that & then I saw you comment. That one & Tommy Körberg’s rendition of ”Fattig bonddräng” are my favorites of the songs he has sung. But I also have a soft spot for the songs in Ronja the robbers daughter that he is part of.
He did the song just to get "a taste of it" for them to find the singer to really do it BUT the couldn't find any better and he was the one that did the part in the musical Chess in London!!
Chess, the musical, is a cold war production. The story tells of two Chess Grand Masters, one from the US and one from the USSR during a Chess meet in Bangkok Thailand. The inspiration was the Fisher/Karpov Chess meeting in Manila in 1975. It's an allegory for the cold war itself. In the story you have Freddie - The American (Murray Head) Anatoly - The Russian (Tommy Körberg) Svetlana - Anatoly's estranged wife (Barbara Dickinson) Florence - Freddies assistant. Hungarian in origin, that starts a relationship with Anatly and encourages him to defect (Elaine Page) Molokov - The KGB villain that tries to stop Anatoly The Arbiter (Björn Skifs) The singles from this musical are Anthem - Tommy Körberg I know Him So Well - Elaine Page/Barbara Dickinson One Night In Bangkok - Murray Head The Arbiter - Björn Skifs. All of the songs are worth reacting to
I quite like '"Merano" b' side to the "One Night In Bankog" vynil but most of all the kinda underated instrumental "CHESS" that was also the marvelous b' side to the 12 inch of "I Know Him So Well" i had bought back in the mid '80s.
Thanks for this! This is one of my partner's most favorite songs of all time. There also exists a Swedish version which you should check out as it is even more powerful. The whole Chess musical production in Swedish is astounding.
He’s an amazing Singer. To me, his version of ”o helga natt” (oh holy night) is my favourite. Love it when he just belt out! Amazing! This song is amazing too.
This song always gave me goosebumps. Tommy Körberg is a great artist, his voice is awesome. Both for songs like this and others like chrismas songs (classic in our house growing up). ❤
Tommy Körbergs voice have the same quality as Jussi Björling, but another genre. Effortlessly they sing clear and beautiful with so much power. I’m Swedish and love the two voices just the same
You would be very welcome here😊 Tommy Körberg has this magical tone in his voice that always manages to hit me in the feels😅 And this song in its simplicity is such a perfect combination imo. It sounds so effortless, his voice has always been captivating to me.
You can see both Björn and Benny in the video. Tommy has claimed several times, he never prepare his voise. Interesting to see him improvising. Check him when singing with Ola Sálo: "The Ark feat Tommy Körberg - It Takes A Fool To Remain Sane" (video). If you search for the "Swedish essence" - if there is such a thing - you should check a song from the best sold jazz record through time in Sweden from 1964. It is a traditional, "Visa från Utanmyra", 100+ years old, an instrumental, by Jan Johansson. It was often played in radio during my childhood.
There is an old clip of where he surprises Celine Dion when they are singing Beauty and the Beast. At the rehearsal Tommy Körberg didn't sing out like Dion expected, so she was a bit underwhelmed. But on stage he let it all out and you can see her surprised reaction and his mischievous smile. ruclips.net/video/IVdOQYY-aP8/видео.html
It is the guys from ABBA, Björn and Benny that made Chess (the music and lyrics), and you see them in the studio during this whole video. Also their producer (of ABBA) Michael B. Tretow. The fifth, silent, member of ABBA. Love them all and Tommy, worth looking at more/all that they've done. ❤ Another wonderful Swedish singer was Monica Zetterlund. There are lots.
The producers for ABBA (also Chess) were Benny Anderson and Bjorn Ulvaeus, you can clearly see Benny sitting in front of the mixing console. Michael B. Tretow was ABBA’s audio engineer. ✌️
For some Swedish seasonal music, you should really check out Jussi Björling singing O helga natt (Oh holy night). Another Swedish singer we are very proud of, in fact, one of the greatest tenors of all time!
If you asked Pavarotti he wasn't just one of the greatest but the greatest. Pavarotti in an interview said when asked how he prepares for singing a new opera "I listen to how Jussi did it and then I try to do it as good as he does it."
Tommy Körberg is autodidact (self taught). The two guys from ABBA who wrote it behind the controls as you can see😉 Thank you for another marvelous reaction, Lots of love from a snow covered Sweden to you, your loved ones and all your subscribers!❤🇸🇪
The thing is that this is shot at the time when Tommy was a party animal in Stockholm. He was doing all kind of substances - he stopped obviously after going to prison for it. Just goes to show he may be the greatest raw talent of a singing voice in the history of the world. The greatest segment of his voice is in a movie about Ronja Rövardotter, his melodic part there brings chills to my spine every time. But it is hard to find on RUclips
I have always loved this song and watching you fall in love with it too was really emotional ❤ Thank you! And you are very welcome if you do choose to move here 🤗
Sweden's greatest male vocalist imo. It almost feels like there's a current running through his voice at times. It's only a shame he never did a song with Agnetha Fältskog. It's incredible how much amazing music has come from the four members of ABBA and the people they've worked with.
I saw this in the original cast in London in 1986, with Tommy Korberg and Elaine Paige. It's one of the best musicals. Easily top 3 (with Les Miserables, and Phantom). Strangely enough it hasn't received the attention it deserves.
In 1965 (city Lycksele) I partied with Tommy Körberg and Björn Skifs (the song Hocked on a feeling). We drank half beer (mellanöl) and jumped from the railway bridge into the Umeälven (Umeå River). The Slamcreepers were Skif's band and he played the hammond organ. Those were the times...
Hi Wolff Have You made any reaction on when Karin Glenmark saves "Endgames" in the live TV sent concert "Chess concert 1984" when Barbara Dickson missed her entrance/cue. Karin was in the choir and in a split second took over the song. The camera crew was so confused that it took a long time before they found a closeup of her. You can se Tommys reaction when he realises what happened. Karins brother Anders (to the right of Karin) is laughing so he nearly can't sing.
Oh, my God? Tommy er svensk og vokste opp med vinter, fjell, dype skoger og sjø. Kyst. Hav. Samt familiesammenhøring.Der samles røsten. Pluss en del fanden og talent.There U have it :-) The real Scandinavian way . Norge/ Sverige.
I saw an interview with him, Tommy, and brittish singer Elaine Paige, they did a musical together that I can’t remember right now … anyway, Elaine talked about how she took care of her voice and warming up the hours before going on stage and then she turned to Tommy, who smiled and said: yea no I don’t do any of that, I caugh maybe once and then I go on stage. The disbelieve on Elaine’s face, apparently she knew that’s all he did and YET he could sing like he does here. Maybe a little bit of envy there, no need to tho, she has an absolutely marvelous voice too, although all the prep and care maybe could be a little bit taxing.
There's so much genuineness in your eyes, that is very heart-warming to see. You should try visiting. Summer is lovely, winter is rough! (Cause of the lack of daylight mainly. I know there are cold winters in the US but did you know that Stockholm is in the same latitude as Anchorage, Alaska!)
"Chess" is by the two former ABBA-members; Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus with English lyrics by Ulvaeus and Tim Rice and book by Tim Rice. It was a huge success in both London and New York. Tommy roginated the part of the Russian in London. The London team of "Les Mis" wanted him for Jean Valjean, but he was doing "Chess in London". But he did do Jean Valjean in AStovkhom a couple of of years later and was as magnificent as he has always been. I have only been a devoted fan since 1966..
@TheWolffAndTheMelody The concept album from '84 is brilliant! Even if you don't care about the musical/story aspect, the music itself is enough in my opinion
You have to listen to "Mountain duett" That is how i meet my wife. We where not spies, but we where both hard headed and came to the conclusion we had feelings even if the society wanted to destroy us.
Chess was the first ”ABBA” album I ever bought. Benny and Björn are both seen in this video. But without Tommy Körberg it would never be the same! I love this anthem!
Tommy Körberg recently became really ill and lost his voice. But We're so happy his now well again and his voice almost restored. Not what it used to be. But still. We love him here in Sweden. Chess ( by Bjorn and Benny from ABBA) actually played many years on Broadway and off Broadway in NY. Me and husband saw it off Broadway in 1992 with a small assembly. It was great ❤
The whole Chess album, released before the musical, is great and still worth listening to! Sweden is a good choice! We complain some here and there, just as all people do, but overall it's a great place to live in.
He still is AMAZINGLY good! I am lucky to have seen him in concerts. And will see him in a musical in 2025! Good reaction! 🌟🌟💜 Yes, we need to be there for one another. You are right!
He is very well known here in Sweden, for good reason. As a Swedish speaker I can hear his "Swedish" tone. He clearly has listened to Jussi Björling and others before him keeping the singing tradition ...going.
You should watch the musical. I think it will hit you pretty hard. Tommy is a swedish royalty. An amazing singer. He was just as good at the age of 80 (ish) years old im only 36 and i have already seen this musical. One of my favourite musical actually. The musical cats is also amazing. Just put it on and sit back and enjoy the ride
@annkristin3457 yes i said 80 (ish) i dont know how old tommy is even though im from sweden. And i know he is still alive. I have not said that he is dead. And what i know he is still making music. But thanks for the info that he is only 76. 76 is still old.
There's a clip from a Swedish tv-show called Så ska det låta, where Tommy sings the Swedish version of Bridge over troubled waters and absolutely kills it! It's worth a watch! The song is called Som en bro över mörka vatten in Swedish
That is not true, though. He has had several vocal coaches through the years. I know a at least one of them. But he has never been studying music school. That part is true.
It's never a fairytale going and live in another country. But for some it is the absolute right thing to do. And I think you're one of those who would make it. Think on it. I wish you all the best!
I love Tommys voice❤ The song Unchained lights (in swedish, "Stad i ljus") is one of my favorites. ruclips.net/video/5DritoGkumU/видео.htmlsi=0BHlWG0Rl6iLFPh2
I saw the Swedish production of Chess THREE times. And I’ve listened to the original since I was a kid. It’s a great musical, and ”Anthem” is the best song ever.
He is the best singer I have ever heard. My absolute #1 idol! And Chess is truly the best Musical ever, in fact, the term "Musical" doesn't fit right in my eyes, it is an experience that transcends all other Musical productions I have ever seen or heard.
As a swed i love Tommy He's like a national treasure. He's the main voice in Ronja the Robber's daughter's theme song his voice is higher than the other, and he played " Lill klimpen"
We are pretty proud of him in Sweden.
❤🎉❤
Yes, we are! 😊❤️
Listen to ”Stad i Ljus” also :)
We definitely are!!
🙏🙏🙏älskar Tommy - Love Tommy!
This is one of those songs that give you goosebumps.
One of my favorites by him is ’Stad i ljus’(city in lights) so beautiful and so powerful. Tommy is one of a kind 🤩
Omg yes, was just going to say that & then I saw you comment. That one & Tommy Körberg’s rendition of ”Fattig bonddräng” are my favorites of the songs he has sung. But I also have a soft spot for the songs in Ronja the robbers daughter that he is part of.
City in lights......Best song ever
He did the song just to get "a taste of it" for them to find the singer to really do it BUT the couldn't find any better and he was the one that did the part in the musical Chess in London!!
No..Björn and Benny basically wrote it for Tommy
@@Erika-br8xo Sorry, but that's an urban legend. Just Google it. It was NOT written for him specifically.
No they didnt. Hes talking about it in a documentary@@Erika-br8xo
Tommy Körberg is one of the best male singers I have ever heard! As a swede I grew up with his voice.
Fred Åkerström and Cornelis better
But behind them ok
Wadling, Jelinek and Gärdestad also great
Tommy one of the best voices he is always putting in emotions .
I saw Chess and Tommy Körberg in London on February 24, 1987. Fantastic!
I bet it was amazing!
I was there a month later (about). Spectacular!
God Im jealous. Im a swede born in '86 and Ive grown up with this recording ❤️

I've heard it many, many times (even live, in Swedish) and I get goosebumps every time!
It's a love song to a any country you can relate to and love. Never gets old. You're welcome to our beautiful Sweden.
This is a national treasure, both Tommy and this song.
We played this at my mothers funeral in September, it was one of her favourite songs.
I get goosebumps every time I listen to this! He is, and will ALWAYS be one of our most amazing singers of all time here in Sweden 😁
I'm glad that we still have Tommy Körberg with us. He's amazing!
Thanks for the last part, wasnt prepared for it. Im going through alot right now and it was good to hear.

I thnk the third person in the video is Tim Rice who wrote the lyrics for Chess (and many other well known musicals).
@@frokenulle4870 That would be the fourth person, since it's already Björn, Benny and Michael. Rice seems likely, who wrote the lyrics with Björn. 😊

ABBA's songwritters Benny,Bjorn, plus Tim Rice and Abba's genius sound engineer Michael B Tretow are also featured in the video.
Amazing. The feeling it gives You
LOVEEEE IT!
It really is an Anthem made for Tommy :)
There's so much genuineness in your eyes, that is very heart-warming to see.

@@liahk1000 2025 is my year to come over. I will be near Stockholm
Please listen to Helga natt (Holy night) by Tommy. Thats powerfull! Greetings from Sweden❤

He sings it just as well now, at the age of 76 like he did in the video from 1984! 💕
I'm so late but your face when seeing the orchestra ia amazing. Chess has a fully orchestral soundtrack, it's beautiful!
I really gotta listen to the whole thing!
@TheWolffAndTheMelody The concept album from '84 is brilliant! Even if you don't care about the musical/story aspect, the music itself is enough in my opinion
You have to listen to "Mountain duett" That is how i meet my wife. We where not spies, but we where both hard headed and came to the conclusion we had feelings even if the society wanted to destroy us.
Chess was the first ”ABBA” album I ever bought. Benny and Björn are both seen in this video. But without Tommy Körberg it would never be the same! I love this anthem!
You also gotta listen to metalist Tommy Yohanson's(Sabaton) version!Chills!
He is absolutely incredible. We 5:44 are so proud of him in Sweden. Some believe this is our actual anthem
🤩 I have loved this song since the first time I heard it 😍💞💖🙏
My cousin sang with him i the chess concert 25 years ago.
Tommy Körberg still have a fantastic voice even though he is born in 1948 ( 76 years old)

Never missed a note ever, no matter how much pushes his voice it always sounds like he's got 10% more to give
His voice is something. Its sick!!
One of our greatest here in Sweden!
Nice reaction dude..
Master Tommy🇸🇪 still epic
INDEED! Thanks for being here friend!
The whole Chess album, released before the musical, is great and still worth listening to! Sweden is a good choice! We complain some here and there, just as all people do, but overall it's a great place to live in.
God bless you,
The people behind the sound board is Björn and Benny from Abba
Btw that's Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson from ABBA in the studio.. And yes, back in the days ppl could sing without the help of filters and shit..
Now do Tommy johanssons cover of Anthem. Does he nail it?
I have always loved Chess ❤
He still is AMAZINGLY good!
I am lucky to have seen him in concerts.
And will see him in a musical in 2025!

Tommy have a close-to-god status in Sweden. I've seen so many other artists who start to shake before meeting him.
Såg honom -86 i London, han var sjuk/borta i Stockholm -03 men Anders Ekborg var en helt fantastisk Anatolij, så win win för mig.
And to think that this man have never taken a voice lesson in his life. Just pure tallent.
That is not true, though. He has had several vocal coaches through the years. I know a at least one of them. But he has never been studying music school. That part is true.
Thank you for listening to the whole track and then react unlike so many others. Plenty of time to go back and play certain parts again.
Much love friend. I hate to pause songs.
IT IS A BEAUTY
As a Swede, the music is the one thing about my country that I'm really poud of.
It's never a fairytale going and live in another country. But for some it is the absolute right thing to do. And I think you're one of those who would make it. Think on it. I wish you all the best!
I love Tommys voice❤
The song Unchained lights (in swedish, "Stad i ljus") is one of my favorites.

I saw the Swedish production of Chess THREE times. And I’ve listened to the original since I was a kid. It’s a great musical, and ”Anthem” is the best song ever.
Listen to 'Engame' from the Chess Concert in Stockholm.....
Tommy♥️
It's an abba prod so ofc amazing
If you enjoy Tommy Körberg, check out his duet with Celine Dion singing Beauty and the Beast. The most Tommy Körberg video ever =D
Its the London Symphony Orchestra that plays. The star Wars Orchestra in my eyes haha
He is the best singer I have ever heard. My absolute #1 idol! And Chess is truly the best Musical ever, in fact, the term "Musical" doesn't fit right in my eyes, it is an experience that transcends all other Musical productions I have ever seen or heard.
Tommy is the GOAT. ✌🏾🇸🇪
As a swed i love Tommy He's like a national treasure. He's the main voice in Ronja the Robber's daughter's theme song his voice is higher than the other, and he played " Lill klimpen"
Very underrated artist
All three musicals created by Björn and Benny are magical (Chess, Kristina från Duvemåla, Mama Mia).
You should see if you find a version of him singing it when he is older. His voice is developed and in my opinion even more powerful!
Other amazing songs from Chess; One night in Bangkok, Pity the child and I know him so well
Pity that child.... That one is SO good!
There is an amazing video with Celine Dion and Tommy Körberg
