Björn of ABBA approves "Bonnie & José"

Björn Ulvaeus on "Bonnie & José in Sweden" (NCRV, 1986)

In 1986, Dutch TV channel NCRV aired the special "Bonnie & José in Sweden" which featured Bonnie St. Claire and José Hoebee performing cover versions of ABBA songs. Björn Ulvaeus (of ABBA) appeared on this program and gave an interview in which he approved the recordings of the ladies. It was years before the revival of interest in ABBA's music (ABBA Gold, Mamma Mia!-The Musical, Madonna's Hung Up using a sample of Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!...). Karin Angeleyes posted on Facebook the video of Björn telling "he was happy about the Dutch covers of Bonnie & José".
