Benny and Andersson
Göran Bror Benny Andersson () ( born 16 December 1946 ), known professionally as Benny Andersson, is a Swedish musician, composer, former member of the Swedish musical group ABBA ( 1972 – 1983 ), and co-composer of the musicals Chess, Kristina från Duvemåla, and Mamma Mia !.

Andersson currently performs with his own band of 16 musicians, BAO ; " Benny Anderssons Orkester " (" Benny Andersson's orchestra "), utilising the vocal talents of fellow Swedes Helen Sjöholm ( from Kristina from Duvemåla ) and Tommy Körberg ( of Chess fame ), with lyrics to new material sometimes written by his song-writing partner and best friend of 40 years, Björn Ulvaeus.
Benny Andersson has written music to several films for screen and television ; the first attempt in the early 1970s for the obscure Swedish movie The Seduction Of Inga: the film flopped, but the ' Björn & Benny ' single " She's My Kind Of Girl " surprised the composers by being released in Japan and becoming a Top 10 hit ( the song renamed in Japan as " The Little Girl Of The Cold Wind ").
Benny Andersson also wrote the film score for the 2012 documentary Palme about Swedish prime minister Olof Palme.
