CHRIS HARPER – PIANST – COVERING ABBA

Leave a comment

Yesterday Cole and I ran into Chris Harper, a South African pianist at the Cresta shopping centre. He was sitting behind his piano in the mall playing amongst others several ABBA songs. Chris has already released at least 4 CD’s with his music and on each of the 4 CD’s you will find an ABBA song. From memory, I recall the following ABBA songs spread over the 4 CD’s
– Mamma mia
– Chiquitita
– Fernando
– I have a dream
– Money money money
– Dancing queen
– Supertrouper
– Hasta manana
– Andante andante
– The name of the game
I suggested to Chris to try and consolidate his Abba covers onto one compilation CD so that ABBA fans, who are into piano music, could get hold of such a CD.
ESC Covers is having a competition where you can win a DVD of Chris which do feature some of the Abba covers by entering our competition. Write to roy@esccovers.com and all you have to do is suggest what EUROVISION song (other than ABBA) he should consider covering on a forthcoming CD. You have about 2-3 weeks to enter seeing that it is now the holiday season.

ANDANTE ANDANTE – SONG THIRTEEN

25 Comments

I’m your music, I’m your song, play me time and time again.

It is no secret that ANDANTE ANDANTE is my favourite ABBA song. It is quite interesting that the song was not as big a hit for ABBA in other countries but in South Africa is is regarded as one of the classics and many local singers have covered it.

The question here is which song (Eurovision or other) is one of those songs you want to PLAY TIME AND TIME AGAIN.

For me it is BIRDS OF PARADISE by Swiss group PETER SUE & MARC. I love most of their songs but this song is my number 1 song of all time (even although it dates back to 1982) and there is not a week that I do not play it at least once.
