Quote from wikipedia
A single from the album, "One Night In Bangkok", sung by Murray Head, was an unlikely top-40 hit, and the duet, "I Know Him So Well", by Elaine Paige and Barbara Dickson, held the number one spot on the UK singles charts for 4 weeks in February 1985.
The two guys who were in ABBA and Tim Rice wrote it I think...and there are different versions.
