No matter who else has covered this song and how fantastic they are, Elaine and Barbara are THE definitive pair that deliver this song the best. No contest! End of!!
I played this hit as new music on-air at my second radio station at the age of 20 in 1985. So glad I found this video from 2004! Wasn’t it good? Aren’t these Ladies Fine? 👏👏
Part of why this works so well for these two is they have such radically different voices and vocal tone, Dickson's is particularly unique. I think that's why it's never been successfully covered.

I remember hearing this not long after it was released, I think maybe 1985 ish?, I was driving an artic truck in Europe on my way home to Ireland, I-was overwhelmed by the girls duo and this amazing song…As soon as I arrived home I bought the record and nearly wore it out 😂…Still one of my favourite all time hits..
This is a FANTASTIC song and amazing songs are still being made today , although it doesn't get airplay. WE ALSO HAD RUBBISH BACK THEN AND IN EVERY ERA OF MUSIC OF EVERY GENRE
I have to be honest if Susan Boyle would not have mentioned Elaine Page that great night when she came on TV for the first time I had never heard of her, THANK YOU
What an epic live performance, of this now legendary song. The chemistry is just magical between these two on stage. The song just goes into overdrive when their vocals come together. This, ladies and gentlemen is what you call singing. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
No one beats the original singers in their a game. As good as chess the concert in 2008 was Menzel was pitchy and felt forced compared with page who seems to effortlessly sing this song no matter how many years go by. And how cool is Barbara harmonising and holding her own with her beautiful voice too. All things considered this performance was 20 years after the concept album they both recorded. Amazing
A tear in the eye, but why? A tune that pulls at the heart, but I am human. Two voices as clear as a bell, the duo as one, but never again will they toll.
This duet absolutely superb.These ladies have the most beautiful voices.I love the way Barbara sings especially those notes and can She hold a note!Wow absolutely amazing.Top class.Elaine has always been a favourite.Together they are simply the best.I can listen to tjis particular song everyday and I often repeat this song.Thewords/lyric beautiful.The message very clear.I love you both.Thank you for fantastic entertainment.Fro m Gigiof South Africa❤❤❤❤❤
Yes, it's possible to notice numerous tricks of the trade employed by Elaine, at least, e.g. the break for a breath between "I know him" and "so well" at 3:47 that she didn't used to need or bother with when she was younger.
Yes, they are FANTASTIC....but check out John Barrowman with Daniel Boys - - - -the definitive male version, which works just as well....amazing, too! Who would've thunk it?!!

Have you seen Barbara Dickson and Lily Savage, that's the stand out version lol
Obviously you are correct
It wasn't as if it was serious come on now!
And I also appreciate the fact that their hair is far less gigantic than it was when they originally performed this song.
So beautiful. Their song entirely.
ABSOLUTELY WHOLEHEARTEDLY 1000000% AGREE! THIS IS MY ALL TIME FAVOURITE SONG EVER!
Unsurpassed. That part from 2:25 onwards gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it.

Two angels
How after nearly 40 years can they sound so good and look even better and i look and sound like a bag of spanners, classy classy ladies
Both ladies still looking beautiful. What a performance from both

She has a very lovely voice, perhaps not as secure here as it was, but still beautiful.
Very true.
To be fair, about 14 years ago Elaine did a respectable cover with Susan Boyle.
These two girls are absolutely fabulous British songbirds! What a delight to hear them sing in harmony.

The song was released in January 1985. It was number one in the UK for most of February.
Agree. 7/2023. Same. USA N.J.
Barbara is such a class singer
Truly amazing vocals. These two singers are legendary. I can listen to them again and again all day long. ❤️
Timeless classic
Wonderful women, beautiful blend singing together . Iconic.
An everlasting and outstanding masterpiece from the ABBA-B's, Elaine Paige and Barbara Dickson. Thank you for that!
Indeed! Bjorn and Benny once again composing a flawless melody and Sir Tim Rice once again has written brilliant lyrics.
Beauttiful duet!
Epic timeless classic, far removed from the junk we have nowadays

A number 1 hit for Elaine and Barbara. The song is timeless. Another great song from Chess is One night in Bangkok sung by Murray Head.
Gorgeous song 😊

Written by Benny and Bjorn who wrote for two other ladies with very different voices. They are experts at it. I adore these two Barbera especially…
Elaine looked amazing
VIVAT! Greetings from Estonia
Theyve brought it down a tone or two but still quite good. Age is a bugger with the voice ♥️

Yes, they are FANTASTIC....but check out John Barrowman with Daniel Boys - - - -the definitive male version, which works just as well....amazing, too! Who would've thunk it?!!
Thanks to Björn and Benny who wrote this song. 👌❤️
Babs will always be best!!!
❤💯
I saw Elaine sing this in the first run of Chess all those years ago. Barbara wasn’t in the stage musical.
September 20, 2024
Väga ilus. from Estonia
какие красотки люблю вас Украина с вами
Ellaine page your no.1
Barbara was my favourite of the two
Her voice is superb…
Shame that Elaine was over-mic'd. Barbara Dickson has amazing vocal strength.
She is very tall
ABBA could have done it as a cover as well 😊
a big?
What if abba not broke up.. Agnetha and frida will sing this song
O dueto com a calouro Susan Boyler ficou muito melhor .
Emma bunton baby spice sing it good for the cover.
Elaine Paige seems to be ageing backwards lol
