Eurovision Abba and much much more!

Thank you JK for another enthralling episode.. fascinating stories.

So glad you tested free of antibodies.. so at least it looks like it was just a bad cold or flu.. but I understand why you're a little disappointed
you're not immune from it (as no antibodies detected).

Anyway, a full recovery which is the main thing.. Soon you'll be languishing in the South of France soaking up the sunshine and swimming in the pool each day..

Always good to have something to look forward to.

Yes I think George Orwell got the dates a bit mixed up... you think of the madness over the past 20 years and even the Bee Gees talked in an interview once about
the thought police and what not.. He wrote 1984 in 1949 so I guess predicting the human decline to an exact year was a tough task..

I remember all those Eurovision song entries you mentioned... "Love City Groove" "Ooh Aah Just A Little Bit" "Love Shine A Light"
It's good that Mike Leggo (at the time the head of Light Entertainment at the BBC) convinced you to stay on and success came with "Love Shine A Light"

Here's a story on Mike Leggo

To have secured the publishing for ABBA songs for the UK was quite a coup and of course I remember seeing the BOCU Music Ltd name on records.
The late Stig Anderson of course was integral to ABBA, sadly passed away in 1997 at only 66 from a heart attack I believe.

I remember "My Love, My Life" in the Mama Mia! Here We Go Again movie.

Here's JK's version


Here's the one from the movie.


Looking for tomorrow's episode as usual...

Sausage, he wrote it in 1948 and reversed the numbers.

I am enjoying the reviews as much as the videos.

Thank you Honey..

See it goes to show you can’t trust the internet 😉

So it's Mr King, who is responsible for the drunken ABBA karaoke covers ? You cheeky bastard.
