PAST & PRESENT Benny & Bjorn in 1970 ( before Abba) from 'Lycka' LP

Kara Gamla Sol. (Side 1-4. on Lycka album)

Some Wonderful old Pic's of Benny- this song has lasted so well, I think compared to Benny's BOA stuff
today-its just as great from 1970- almost 40 years on still writing those classics.

Benny Andersson's 'Give me my Song' performed Live!

Give me my song  ( B.Andersson-Y.Eggehorn)

From 2004, I had not heard this track before, I was thinking it was from the english version of B&B's Kristina -Musical. 

It is actually "Saknadens Rum" and "Karlekens Tid" medley called 'Give Me My Song' with a little luck the tune could be featured in BOA Live concert on Hampstead Heath London in two weeks? Watch the clip til the end and see Benny in the crowd.
