I was actually there on this very night! B&B showing up was a big surprise. I remeber the audiance continuing the singing efter the end of the song. It was a great night in what feels like a different age. Those years after the cold war were optimistic in so many ways. We had the feeling that the world was coming together finally. But of course that feeling couldn't last for ever. George W Bush and Usama were waiting around the corner.

@limegreendarlene Good to hear you were shaking your thing to this one Darlene although ABBA admit that its not a great tune to 'get into the groove' too
Howdy Shay, OOP's, hit the post button by accident. Ment to say not just anyone could sing what Benny and Bjorn had written. The whole group is what made them as great as they are. Wasn't Frida and Benny's speech at the RRHOF ceremony excellent. Thanks for this one Lenny
now this is one for posterity hehe. i luv the final line by Bono. i didn't even know this existed, Shay. guess i should get out more lol. thnx for this slice of history. :)

I loved both their speeches Lenny and Benny's line about what a poorer place the world would be if all the Hall of Fame artists had never existed!

Howdy Shay, Happy St. Patrick's day to ya. This shows what range Agnetha and Frida had singing this song.
Grandpaw2511 1 year ago
I think thats why most ABBA covers are disaponting Lenny. No one can match those two girls vocal wise !!
