B.A.O - BENNY ANDERSSONS ORCHESTRA - Fait Accompli | REACTION

[@kennykarlsson6691]

I absolutly love this song. And Tommy körberg is definetly one of the best swedish singer we have. World class. He is still performing 75yo and sounds better than ever. Eventhough he nearly lost his life a couple of years ago because of heart problems. ❤

[@abbascots]

Hi Tommy Koberg is a legend ❤ I adore this song he always puts his heart and soul into all he sings 🎶 He’s a true gentleman his voice is unique so much raw emotions ❤ I remember him singing at ABBA museum opening in 2013 he nearly blew the roof of the Museum literally awesome 😎 live ❤

[@daveydoodles9861]

Such a beautiful song, I don’t know a word of Swedish, but I started listening to the ABBA ladies earlier solo work sung in Swedish and it’s such a beautiful language. you can easily enjoy a song in any language if it’s performed well.

Happy Tuesday to us, it’s another tgig. Heard few of these mostly doing abba songs. Have Benny album’piano’. Enjoy that at times when piano and quite sound good. Thanks for time and reaction. I’ve always been a Benny fan.

[@christianoazzuro6711]

First time to my listening to this and has already stuck in my head.This was released in 2007?I can imagine Abba doing this with Agnetha on the lead which is quite close to her fave genre.

ABBAMAN.. I somehow missed seeing this video just earlier today I saw b a o with a woman singer Helen doing kisses of fire from Abba's voulez-vous album it was a good performance and it made me emotional. Wishing agnetha and frida were singing this.maybe check out this video sometime 😊

He is an amazing singer. Lovely song.

[@GivenToe]

He is 🔥😍

[@andrewjenkinson7052]

Yes, there is an English version - SUNG BY TOMMY! I would have preferred you to have reacted to that one as it would be more universal - and both are equally good. I encourage you to listen to the English version for your own pleasure. The English is a close translation. Benny' s orkester has Benny playing piano and often Tommy and Helen. Will check for links after this post.

[@GivenToe]

Oh no, why didn't I find it? That's so sad....I really looked for it. Mabye KZbin shows me videos in Swedish because that's where I'm from? I have no idea. Please, if you have a link, give it to me. Thank you Andrew!

[@darrenbertram7289]

When I grow up I want to be Tommy Körberg 😎

[@mariabeatrizvital2323]

I love this song. There is an english version of it in BAO´s album called ¨Story of a Heart¨. This is the first time I hear it in swedish. ¨Story of a Heart¨ is the only BAO´s album I could bought many years ago here in my city, Rosario, Argentina. The english version of the song is also sung by Tommy Körberg and it says on the album´s booklet that Benny wrote the music and Björn (Ulvaeus!!) the lyrics. By the way, the song ¨Story of a Heart¨ is also beautiful and it could easily have been an ABBA´s song. I can imagine it sung by Agnetha and Frida! Have you heard it?

[@ajayjackson7727]

Awww Giventoe brilliant reaction, Tommy has a great voice, i remember him singing a duet with another swedish singer Helen Sjoholm who is also in Benny's orchestra, they sang Story of Heart which Benny wrote for the British group Steps. Tommy and Helen have fantastic voices

[@GivenToe]

Thanks Ajay! =) He sure does. More to explore with BAO I suppose! Have a good day now!

[@evagrahn8781]

The guy you reqognize is Kalke Moreus. He is a very popular musician in Sweden. He is also a host in his tv-show "Moreus med mera". BAO is one of the best band I know. Their singer are Tommy K and Helene Sjöholm.

[@frankjoi6403]

Such a lovely song.

[@GivenToe]

It is! :D

[@marita.n6125]

Tjenare och tack för senast! Härligt att du gillade Smash into pieces. Tommy K, den mannen har full kontroll på sin röst! Om du har tid och lust kan du lyssna på hans hitlåt från 60-talet, "Somebody's taken Maria away" gruppen hette Tom & Mick & the Maniacs. En riktigt bra poplåt. Om någon kan göra en speciell version av 'Fait Accompli' så är det Tommy J.✨ 🤔 K och J... fick mig att tänka på 'Men in Black' 😎 ☺️ ❤

[@alexioverdo5225]

Btw Tommy Korber also did Benny's/Bjorn's ANTHEM for Chess musical back in 1984.And as far as i know this song was Tommy Yohansson's first ever live perfornance as a teenager in front of a school audience that he loves so much.Here are both versions and i admit that TY's performance is thrilling really gave me chills and brought me tears. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eoivnXVqZqyfrLc kzbin.info/www/bejne/n6fSZpqHbciDj5Y

[@frankhuhn7369]

Now time to listen to Tommy (Anthem and Fait Accompli) and Helen (Story of a Heart) in the closing duet from Benny's Musical "Chess, The Musical." In Swedish but incredibly powerful.

Gitarristen är Kalle Moreus. Detta är från hans tv-program som gått flera säsonger på SVT.

[@GivenToe]

Ah tack för det 🙏🏻😁😁

[@petterhansson7312]

If you want another banger with Benny Anderssons Orkester (and with Benny on stage, too) together with their "refrängsångerska" Helen Sjöholm, play "Sommaren du fick" (take the Swedish version with so much more meaningful lyrics; at least you should play the Swedish privately). It is from 2011 and you should take the particular video were Helene wears her bright red dress. It is magic and the audience dance away to the music 'the old traditional Swedish way'.

[@KentLundberg-vb9hb]

Yep follow Tommy my whole life. One of Swedens best singers ever. And the guitarist was the dalmas Kalle Moraeus and I think it was lake Siljan in the background.

[@GivenToe]

He really is a legend! Thanks for clearing that name up for me! =)

[@KentLundberg-vb9hb]

@@GivenToe No probs my friend you are such a nice guy always responding to our comments really like that!

[@MariaEiva7484]

Kalle is a legend 😀!!! I’m from Dalarna and Orsa Spelmän are so good (going into dalmas /dalkulla and hembygds mode here .. 🤣) As for being known from television .. yhheaaa .. Kalle is ”Folkkär” in the true sense. He was “Julvärd” på SVT 2011, presented the show “så ska det låta” 2014-2017. Had is own music/interview show “Moreus med mera” 2011-2017. But you probably recognize him from the SBAB commercials that is running constantly ( seriously they must have way to much money .) on television here in Sweden ( the one with Noor and Björn Gustafsson also in it .. Boendeekonomi är jättekul!) 😂

If you wanna hear a great performance from Tommy in his prime you should check out when he is performing Stad I ljus in Eurovision Song Contest 1988. Fantastic voice especially considering he was sick with high fever and a throat infection. I think it’s the only time I’ve heard him miss a note at 02:00. You can see him perform it here. kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6mpnJWZe82Da5I

[@calbackk]

I dont think this is really Benny Anderssons Orkester. Some musicians are the same, but I think this is from SVT`s show "Moraeus med mera" hosted by Kalle Moraeus, who is himself also a menber of BAO. Also, they originally played this in a faster tempo, whin was much more powerful in my opinion.
