Chess: I Know Him So Well - Elaine Paige & Barbara Dickson

Terry @ 7:42 pm

From my favorite musical. The style is very 80s, but the song is a classic.

    Snagged by the copyright police!

    “We’re sorry, but this video is no longer available.”

    Oh, well, I can always drag out my cds.

    Oh, just a glitch: I got to hear it after all. Then I fell down the rabbit hole, listened to the Swedish cast version of a couple of songs, some more Elaine Paige (god, she’s good!) and four different versions of “Don’t Cry For Me Argentina.”

    She is incredible, A! There were quite a few Chess songs on YouTube - it was hard choosing just one to post.

  4. Ahistoricality Says:

    I was actually very impressed with the Swedish cast: didn’t understand a word they said, of course, but they can sing!

  5. Mere Says:

    Yeah, I think that the Swedish cast is probably the best recording out there…and I own a lot of Chess recordings! :D
