SONGS and CHESS

"One Night in Bangkok" is a song from the concept album and subsequent musical Chess by Tim Rice, Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus (yes, those last two are the guys from ABBA). It was originally rapped by the British actor and singer Murray Head (verses) and sung by the Swedish singer and songwriter Anders Glenmark.
Bangkok, Oriental setting
And the city don't know that the city is getting
The creme de la creme of the chess world in a
Show with everything but Yul Brynner

Michael Jackson's "Black Or White" is not a chess song but Tim did mentioned it in the text he made for the flyer. And it is a great song and I love the first part of the video with the 11-year-old kid (Macaulay Culkin home alone) and his grouchy father (George Wendt).
