Is it really sure that Per is already joining the first show?
SVT-Europe doesn’t mention him ....>>>
Benny Andersson berättar om komponerandet och hur han började skriva låtar i sitt eget band Hep Stars på 60-talet. Vi får i Sixties även möta andra låtskrivare som John Sebastian i Lovin´ Spoonful från och Gary Brooker som skrev “A Whiter Shade Of Pale” i Procol Harum. Liksom svenska gruppen Tages som var hårda konkurrenter till Bennys Hep Stars. *
