One Night In Bangkok - Robey - Musical Broadway Show Chess

[galendulac]

I knew this couldn't be the original. For one thing, women are not very welcome in the international chess community even now, let alone in the 80s.

Louise Robey sings this version. She was also in Friday the  13th: The Series on TV

I'm not sure about the vocal talents of Robey, but I think the song has a good beat and bassline.

@Homer79163 i.e. the original. Robey just kinda chicked it up.

[jdia1943]

Truly hilarious video -- incorporates every dreadful 80s video cliche known. Wow.

I like this version better than the Murray Head one, but to each their own...

loved her in those tight sweaters on friday the 13th. I can understand the lyrics better but this feels too much like being in a bizzarre parrelel universe...

I like the way Louise approached the tone of the song, which makes her performance of it a bit more edgy.

seems odd that you would pick on a world famous CULT CLASSIC that was done about the time you might have been learning to dance...This was written by ABBA and ABBA's lawyer gave the track to Louise to do her own version... huge concensus says she wins... anyway she has a gorgeous 5 octave range and this song was written to be spoken

Louise sings this song so well that it was inevitable that hers would be the huge dance hit it was. This is also why Louise's "One Night In Bangkok" was an international hit... she ads a degree of class to the track and still conveys the message of the Chess character.

This is the better version of "One Night in Bangkok," and the video is better as well.

the best singer in the world! the wonderful Louise Robey!!!!

Louise's singing this really blows Murry fathead out of the water! Murry Who???

As I recall, Head played the stereotypical "Ugly American" character in the play "Chess," and does the song in character. It took a very long time, however, to hit Broadway.

[jdia1943]

As a fan, I understand that she's lived all over the world. I thought her accent on the show was charming, personally. It made sense because her character came from money and her accent gave one the indication that she went to finishing school. So when people start ragging on the accent I have to argue. It made perfect sense to me. Anyhoo.

I have a funny feeling she'll be remembered more for her performance in the Friday the 13th series

Funny fact: The first time I heard this version was when a drag queen lip-synch'd to it at a gay club called "Tracks" in Ybor City ("Tampa" for those non-Floridians) back in 1989! Loved it (the song) then and love it now...

I heard this version about two weeks before I heard the Murray Head version. Robey's pronunciation is SO Canadian. (I liked her TV show,too.)

@TheRexmoon I agree; Roby nailed this. I mean, Murray Head is cool, but something about Robey's version feels good to me!
