Watched a doco in early 2000's, they had interviewed some "studio tech" that had worked with ABBA "rumor has it" they have sung it & other Chess songs, only in a studio/informal/messing about way. The boys were playing around/drafting/writing Chess music in those last years of ABBA 81 -82. " I know him so well" is taken from ABBA's I Am An A and there are other cross overs of Chess music to ABBA songs. There was supposed to be another album after Visitors ( new material) 82 but didn't happen. Late 82 -83 it was full on for the guys to complete Chess & girls doing there own thing. I could imagine them doing it trying sounds/lyrics etc. Yes for sure would be something to hear for sure.

All these years, I too never knew Whitney and Cissy's version was a cover. This Barbara Dickson and Elaine Paige version was a huge hit in Britain, but not the United States. That might have influenced Whitney's decision to cover the song. Just a couple of years before this, Barbara Dickson did a cover of Stop! In the Name of Love by The Supremes. The Supremes version is a classic of course, but Barbara Dickson's version was pretty good and very contemporary sounding for the 80s.

For everyone saying that this should have been performed by Agnetha and Frida, ABBA had indeed sang a previous version of this song with different lyrics during one of their live concerts in Australia. It was a silly song called ‘I Am an A’ and wasn’t intended to be recorded (you can watch it on KZread). Björn and Benny reused its chorus melody to create the masterpiece you’re now listening to.

Barbara was a folk singer! they have a richness, depth and exceptional timbre to their voices just like Judith Durham of the Seekers

Should of won an Oscar for her performance, let anyone the song. Her eye contact is off the scale!!!!

Pure class,twice.Simple.

Magic magic magic. Absolutely

Such an iconic song written by two pillars of modern music... And performed by two superb singers of the modern era...

I know this is a classic but I was looking at some recent Barbara Dickson KZread videos....and her music has so much more depth and interest these days. She is a proper musician, plays guitar and keyboards and is a fine songwriter. Her 'When Shadows Meet the Light' is superb. Its just a shame that for most people Barbara is only remembered for this song and its big hair/shoulder pads/lip gloss etc. She is so much more interesting. ...

Correct title is "Where Shadows Meet The Light"

I find this more beautiful now than I did back then. A stunning song .

Excellent, classy song. Still remains the best selling song by a female duo in the UK. Yet another number 1 for Benny and Bjorn

Chess is a Masterpiece from 2 of the Greatest Songwriters and Machines in Benny and Bjorn.These 2 have great lungs voices done so well as a Girl Duet to be part of the greatest decade of all time never to forget miss it so much oh hail the 80s

Absolutely timeless and peerless. One of the few duets I play regularly and still enjoy it as much as the first time I heard it.

ABBA writes the best music, they marry sad and happy in the same song and you feel both emotions strongly ...

Once again another wonderful Song recorded by two Wonderful Singers. And it Reminds me of the LOVE I Shared with my Husband, Sadly not with us anymore, but we had 40 years together and I wouldn't have Missed it for the World, Still LOVE YOU KEITH 💕💜💞🌹💯

Could’ve been the next big ABBA hit! Having said that, I do respect their decision to go on a “hiatus” for 40 years.

I agree, it would have been great to hear ABBA performing this song. An early version of the song was the Abba live-only song 'I am an A, I am a Bi'

Ballad at its best by Bjorn and Benny. I imagine Agnetha and Frida singing this.

Amazing. Nobody can beat this version.

One Night In Bangkok is brilliant part of Chess the Video remember at 14 at College playing Bongos to the Song love Murrays strong pommy accent puts a spin on it

A master piece from Abba only to be pulled off by this amazing talent of Elaine page & Barbara Dickson

This was and still is 1 of my favorite song.The oldies have that quality that last forever.

Why do u say true? Some of us know how to be loyal and completely on someone's side. Just not every person in your life deserves that level of respect and loyalty, regardless of how long u may have known them.

Memories with my mom.. Singing this song together before she passed away.. Beautiful song to remember ❤️🙌🙏🏻👍

Always, the one most great and beautiful ballads

I didn't discover this emotional masterpiece till this year. Can't imagine anyone else singing it but these two. Their voices are perfect together.

I find the song so moving. It's like the feeling of absolute heartbreak set to music.

commenting the lyrics🥰 Nothing is so good it lasts eternally, Perfect situations must go wrong, But this has never yet prevented me, Wanting far too much, For far too long, Looking back, I could have played it differently, Won a few more moments, Who can tell, But it took time to understand the man, Now at least I know I know him well Wasn't it good? (Oh so good) Wasn't he fine? (Oh so fine) Isn't it madness, He can't be mine? But in the end He needs a little bit More than me, More security, He needs his fantasy and freedom, I know him so well No-one in your life is with you constantly, No-one is completely on your side, And though I'd move my world to be with him, Still the gap between us is too wide, Looking back, (Looking back) I could have played it differently, (I could have played it some other way), Learned about the man, Before I fell (I was just a little careless) But I was ever so much younger then, (Maybe, so much younger then) Now at least I know I know him well Wasn't it good? (Oh so good) Wasn't he fine? (Oh so fine) Isn't it madness, He won't be mine? Didn't I know? How it would go, If I knew from the start, Why am I falling apart? Wasn't it good Wasn't he fine? Isn't it madness, He won't be mine? But in the end, He needs a little bit More than me, More security, He needs his fantasy and freedom, I know him so well, It took time to understand him, I know him so well.
