[hlarios1991]

Best singers of all times

[MalaTemporaCurrunt]

is this lipsynced? if not my jaw just dropped

[toriboy25]

@MalaTemporaCurrunt it was .lipped

[MalaTemporaCurrunt]

@toriboy25 pity

[overthemoo]

@MalaTemporaCurrunt I'm not too certain, but they have sung it live and precisely the same way. Musical theatre performers do this all the time, 8 times a week, and never have any issues. I mean, sure, your voice can betray you out of nowhere, but for the most part performers like these two can handle performing live easily.

[SimonSaysFranklin]

story of my life (Y)

[mollymophead3]

Gosh i remember seeing this on tv many many moons ago.............. still beautiful as ever

[Triggy24]

This song, as a whole, is weak and shallow. I have nothing against these two brilliant performers. But Chess is a god awful musical, as are the musicians who wrote it. ABBA is as atrocious as this vapid piece i can't even justify as being called musical theatre.

[jimmyd05]

@Triggy24 The book for Chess is very weak and quickly outdated by the end of the Cold War. Attempts to rewrite the book and re-imagine the songs have largely failed (although Someone Else's Story is a lovely addition). However, the music is stellar. It ain't Sondheim but it certainly rivals Sir Weber. As simple a song as "Anthem" is an incredible showstopper along with Nobody's Side, Pity the Child and You and I. 27 years after buying the album and I still often play it end to end.

[TinorialPeredhil]

@jimmyd05 "Sir" Webber is rivaled by many children's tunes.

But I agree with everything you said about Chess.

[ruff500]

Just love it!

[cammicty]

This is a nice a different spin on the song. But, still nothing compares to Whitney and her mom!

[CrazyMusicDivaNZ]

Cheers for the upload - looooved this song way back when, and now I'm using it in mourning, .....never thought of it this way, back in the 80s, but as you get 'older' songs have different meanings:' ) Thanks so much again for this!!

[loveguadalesa]

Thank u so much shay.. i used to listen to this song in the late 80's.. sad, heart broken..hmm

[barryfowler117]

Brilliant - great song by great singers and so moving.

Still as good now as it was originally.

[bwaybaby1991]

Is it just me or is Barbara Dickson at least a foot taller than Elaine??? Awesome singing, but I was really thrown off by the size difference haha

[MrVljacks]

I've viewed so many now of this song between Elaine Page and Barbra Dickinson.... and I love them all... But this is SUPERB..

[KAF128]

Good to hear these 2 again. I was a big ABBA fan then became an EP fan through CHESS. Saw it twice (early 90s was it ?). Also, the first time I saw EP in concert she finished with this. We all thought she'd do the whole thing on her own, but in walked Barbara right on cue for chorus #1 !

[PPF75]

As i've said in other videos of this song, i've loved it since it was out, I was 9. I want this played at my funeral!!!

[Wang2xdidi]

a very nice song with a very nice singer ..

[JhonathanFree]

What a gorgeous song and beautifully sung.

[1969grau]

classic....the best..tnx:)

[museumactor]

Wonderful, thank you for uploading it!

[Jeronimo95957]

Thank you for music Elaine and Barbara, Maravilhoso muito lindo tão de parabens, I Love You

[NathanielPx]

haha figured Benny and Björn wrote this ahah it totally sounds like it would be an ABBA song xD

[cassyclim8]

wow such a rare vid!! thanks for posting

[RascoHeldall]

Why aren't people allowed to sing like that any more?

[PPF75]

@RascoHeldall Here who know's. this day and age VERY FEW can sing without the aid of computers or tech no to help there voice. There's very few people out there who can say they need no help when it comes to singing!! this Is from my childhood of 1984/5. I was 9. Back then PEOPLE COULD SING!!!!! not like now a days where its all computers!!

[derekwood4u]

Like Abba would sing "Thank You For Music" Elaine and Barbara, you have given billions of people pleasure with your songs and music ,you are in our hearts for-ever- we love you ..

[kevinmoorghen1]

this gonna be my funeral song......my wreck marriage song was ANNIE SONG FROM JOHN DENVER.....

[mimijnful]

love it...xxxxx!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[jaz062910]

why now adays there are no more songs like this that have sense?

[baozeng]

I LOVE THIS SONG

[meadeser]

i think at the time B&B were trying to find a good duo to somewhat match Agnetha & Frida's similiar voives. Barbara & Elaine did a good job. I think they should've done a complete album on thier own.

[stunninglad1]

Only Bonnie Tyler's 'Holding Out For A Hero' would stop this being my top record from 1985. I Know Him So Well therefore checks in at No.2 from 1985.

[hargohargo2]

@stunninglad1 thats mad how can bonnie tyler who i think is good overtake this gem? its like ultravox vienna kept from the number 1 spot by that crappy novelty song.

[stunninglad1]

@hargohargo2 As I said it was close. I rate both songs as brilliant. However a more upbeat song was always destined to clinch my No.1 for 1985 honour. My1984 winner was Lionel Richie with his classic song 'Hello.' The haunting music from that song summed a totally depressing year for me. The year of 1985 marked a more upwards and onwards approach by me and this was shown in the varied music I liked. Thanks for your reply.

[EmilijaEma]

Elaine sings soooooooooo oh just amazing!!! <3 She is so beautiful, as usual!!

[1ounascarfan]

The sound on this video is fabulous. I have been watching ever version available of this duet and this is far and away the best one. This is becoming one of my favorite songs since I saw Elaine and Susan Boyle do it. Now I have to see the musical!

[frida1965]

Fantastic musical, great singers! Saw this musical in London once, it was amazing.

[songsungu]

Before Mama Mia there was Chess. There should be no doubt of the genius of Benny and Bjorn. Great performance and song. Thanks again Shay

[earlady66]

Wow! Huge fan of Elaine Paige and she sounds excellent here...as usual. Do you know what year this was? Great...thanks for posting this!

[soloABBA2]

Great upload Shay, this must be the first time this video is showed here in YOUTUBE, this is a real treasure. Thumbs way up.

[2Shaymcn]

@soloABBA2 Cheers mate ! Glad to upload it

Just going thru some old dvds and found it !

[abbafan09]

This is a good version Shay I taking tthe sound to use in an video clip that I'm using for an new clip to post on my as I have now found some very rare chess stuff. Like the very rare complete cast recording . I'm in the process of having a new Channel for my ABBA live Rareites.

[2Shaymcn]

@abbafan09 No problem , ill keep an eye out for those rare songs !

[TheIggy4]

@abbafan09 k nob

[coman4ero]

( : - )

[2Shaymcn]

@coman4ero thanks for the sunshine

( : - )

[cessnaace]

Outstanding Shay! I wish Agnetha and Frida had sung it as well. It would suit them I think. Saved to 'Music Videos 2' playlist. :)

STAY AWESOME! :)

[2Shaymcn]

@cessnaace Thanks Mark, I wonder who would do Elains part !

[cessnaace]

@2Shaymcn Which one is she? One of the singers sounds kinda like Agnetha. Of course noone could ever top her. Agnetha's the best singer ever! :)

STAY AWESOME! :)

[2Shaymcn]

@cessnaace She is the blonde here Mark

Hard to tell which part would suit the ABBA girls better 

[cessnaace]

@2Shaymcn I don't know. Listening to them sing (Agnetha and Frida) I'm constantly amazed at what they could do with their voices.

STAY AWESOME! :)

[Mrroydoncrossing]

Wonderful indeed,Shay

[2Shaymcn]

@Mrroydoncrossing Cheers Bill, found this on an old dvd and thought it deserved an upload !

[Mrroydoncrossing]

@2Shaymcn Certainly did-care to look again and see if you have the Holy Grail of Agnetha and Frida singing it ?? Thanks again Shay

[2Shaymcn]

@Mrroydoncrossing Cheers Bill, that would be the holy grail.I wonder if they demoed more songs from chess apart from the ' heaven help my heart ' demo from Aggie

[Mrroydoncrossing]

@2Shaymcn I suspect that somewhere there is an even bigger cave than yours!!
