Benny is one of the most successful popular music composers in the world, for a period of forty years. He is in the elite. His royalty income must be very impressive, even at Swedish tax rates. I also wonder, why does one man (like Benny) get blessed with genius while millions of others live unknown? It is more than just skilled marketing by Stikkan, his manager. On so many songs, Benny has the master's touch.
I have it in writing from both Benny and Bjorn that they shared lead vocals on this track so you are not imagining things, letter was May 1981 in their own handwriting, I met Benny many times since then and if I felt this discrepancy was looming I would have spoken to him about it then too but as far as I am concerned it was cleared up back then in 81, people keep referring to web sites and discographies but for a long time media people could not tell which one was Benny when Bjorn grew a beard
I confirm this is Benny. I'm surprised so many people think that Bjorn sings here-their voices are really different and easily distinguishable. Too bad it's the only Abba track with Benny as a lead vocalist-he sang it quite well. By the way: 0:31-0:34! This is the only photo of completely shaved Benny I've ever seen! I think I wouldn't recognize him if I didn't know it was him. He looked much younger without his beard and moustache.
Indeed Suzy is sung very well and why did Benny not feature more as lead singer if he was this good,? answer is they both share the lead but for me Bjorn;s voice is far more prominent and my guess is that it was a gesture Stig felt he could get away with as Benny was never going to get any credit for lead on any other track, however they did not bargan for the impact of winning eurovision and the advent of the internet which allow us fans to argue over things they may now feel insignificant..
Three songs spring to mind as what songs did bjorn sing lead vocal (4 including this one) Does your mother know,Two for the price of one,Why did it have to be me.
Official site does not mean anything if the people compiling it can't tell the physical difference between Benny and Bjorn, add to that Humans do make mistakes and it is humans that make these sites. I have it in writing from 1981 from Benny and Bjorn that they shared the lead vocal on this track but I personallly hear Bjorns voice more, One cannot argue with the artists themselves..
You are correct it is Bjorn or at least half of it, ignore the people who refer you to web sites as they carry mistakes and I have it in writing that they shared the lead albeit I hear nore of Bjorn myself and felt for years it was he alone..
@bladesmark2 really? so try once more, look for it..Benny´s on the lead vocals, this is the only Abba song to feature lead vocals by Benny..if you were an Abba fan (which you obviously aren´t), you would know that.
@bladesmark2 This is definitely NOT Bjorn on vocals, this is Benny. Why are you so stubborn? I don't understand why it's so hard for you to accept the FACT which is not only confirmed in many sources, but which you can simply HEAR-the voice is different than Bjorn's. Too bad this is the only exception and Benny made no other attempts to be a lead vocalist. I'm not an expert, but personally I think he did a decent job here, nothing to be ashamed of and he should have tried it more than once.
When the guys lead sing of coarse Bjorne did most of the lead sing i wonder why Benny did very little as lead singer. On this track i think it's the only one Benny lead sings. He does have a great voice.
Sorry it took so long to read your comments on this but you are correct Bjorn does actually share the lead on this track I have it confirmed in writing from Benny and Bjorn in 1981
It is quite true as sssstats don't always tell the truth, In 1981 when John tobler wrote Abba for the record he creditted Benny with Lead vocals on Suzy and Agnetha on Move on , I wrote to Sweden and rceived the replies which I still have which states from Benny and Bjorn that they both sing lead vocal and Frida leads on Move on after Bjorn's prologue, this I have in their own handwriting, I would say Bjorn's voice is more prominent in this track anyway...
It was Bjorn who shared the lead on this track let me tell you as I have it in writing from both the boys back in 1981..don't listen to anyone who tells you different as one cannot argue with the artists no matter what web sites show..
Nice video. But Benny has a very ligth voice in this song why is that, in other songs his voice is beep. Still a good song and a very nice man. Thank You for uploading. :_D

The wierd thing is that his speaking voice on the intro to 'Move On' is very deep and low. He sounds like the tape was sped up a bit on this song.
