The two boys from ABBA, Benny and Bjorn, teamed up with legendary lyricist Sir Tim Rice to produce the concept album and stage musical of Chess, based in the midst of the Cold War. The show was voted 7th in BBC Radio 2's listener poll of the UK's Number One Essential Musicals, and features hits such as I Know Him So Well (Elaine Paige and Barbara Dickson) and One Night in Bangkok (Murray Head). A radically altered version appeared on Broadway in 1988, but stayed open for only eight weeks.
