I love this song because it´s so casual, sincere and with no attempt to be a worldwide hit, yet it´s catchy and has such a strong spirit, there´s something about the winter melancholy..when I hear this song, I can imagine some snowy woods with blue sky above..and the spring approaching..eh..you know what I mean?
Yes Benny is the singer , you know it , because Bjorn was the voice leader in several early ABBA songs and I would like add something , I believe this song was the fist that Benny and Bjorn wrote together.
You also know that their music society still is helpful for us !
@schweinchenism You need to do some serious research here because you're 100% wrong! The english translation of the Swedish title, "Kära Gamla Sol" , is "Dear Old Sun". It was written by Bjorn and Benny and was sang by Benny in one of the rare times he sang lead!
yes. you often see benny mouthing on the videos, but never really hear his voice. Benny is such a mastermind in the music, and an under appreciated talent all around. peace, christian
He has a very good voice, It's to bad he only did a few with ABBA. These song escape me right now, but I'll remember the others sooner or later. Thank you.
Very nice Jim. I never heard Benny sing a solo before I don't think. He does have a really nice voice. Some really nice pics of Benny in your great slide show presentation!
Benny was a "treat" to just watch playing the piano in their live performances! Never could figure out how he could be always jumping around and never miss a note! He was a true "master" at his craft! (They always say: "You have to watch those quiet ones!":-)
You don't suppose he took a page out of Jerry Lee Lewis's book on how to play piano without sitting still do you? Sometimes if you watch him, he's concentrating so hard but still swinging! Thanks Dallas.
Thank you Jim. This is, of course, a great track off B&B'S LYCKA! Benny's rarely out front so this is a rare treat to hear. It's a shame he didn't sing more leads. He was a natural!
We're getting closer Laura. I went riding today in fact, and it felt good to get out of the house and out of my chair! It's better to ride than it is to walk. Thank you, it was time for Benny to shine.
He is one part of ABBA that has silently stood back and let all the others collect the headlines, while he quietly helped run a ship that sailed to the top of the world! He did it on his terms and he's a true giant of the music world. Thank you Shay.

What a sweet voice he had. What a shame we didn't hear more of it when Abba was at their peak.

You're welcome. Benny singing, especially out front, are extremely rare in the music world.
He was and still is always content on writing or playing and I think it made him who he is today...a musical genius!

I 've also made a video on this song.I didn't know...that you've already made a video on this song..Sory!

Thank you Dallas. There pretty rare, but there are a few floating around. He prefered to be "the quiet one" and just let his piano speak for him!

"Dear old sun come back and melt all the snow" -isn`t it your prayer too, Jim?
I`ve heard you`d prefer to ride your bicycle :)
