The 2 of them have played those roles in Chess in a swedish set-up of that musical. Saw them live,magical. He plays the russian chess champion and she the assistant to the american contender and they fall in love. You And Me is the titel of this duett.
Gorgeous composition by Bjorn and Benny, Gorgeous voices of Tommy and Helen, whose voices and performances are perfectly matched. They are saying goodbye, even though they are still in love; he is returning to Communist Russia; she stays in free Europe Tommy and Helen definitely have something magical going on here. Absolutely unforgettable.
Björn and Benny from ABBA brought them together. They are singing about how they belong together but that it can't happen and that they now have to part. The musical "Chess" was written in English and later translated to Swedish. The entire CHESS musical is amazing.
It's from the Musical Theatre Show "Chess" (about the Chess world championships) by the Abba men Björn & Benny and Tim Rice. Tommy was recreating his role as the Russian Chess player Anatolij from the West End original and Helen sings the role of Florence, girlfriend of the American Chess player. Here they realize how impossible their situation is as he has to save his wife who is hostage to the Soviet authorities back in Russia "we who belong together are forced apart". Look for the same song but with Tommy Körberg and Elaine Page for the original version with the English lyrics.
This is such an odd piece of work. The stage production doesn’t work for me, at all, but the music and lyrics are so incredible that it works perfectly in a concert setting. It so easily stirs emotions for me. Thanks for posting.
There's another song from CHESS of course by Benny & Bjorn, called Someone Else's Story that would make a great reaction video. Another of their masterpieces.
