"He Is Your Brother" is a song recorded in 1972 by Swedish pop group ABBA. It was only issued as a single in Scandinavia, and was taken from the group's debut album "Ring Ring", which was released in 1973 in Scandinavia and a few European countries, excluding the United Kingdom. In Sweden, it reached #1 on the Tio i topp singles chart.

History

The song was written by the two male band members, Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus, and was produced by Michael Tretow. All four members share lead-vocals on this recording.

The song was one of the early favourites among the group's members, and was the only song from the era before "Waterloo" which was performed during the group's tour of Europe and Australia in 1977. It was also performed by various artists (along with ABBA), during the Music for UNICEF Concert in January 1979.

Reception

Due to its limited release, and the fact that ABBA had not achieved a great following outside of their native Sweden at the time, the song only charted in Scandinavian countries.

Cover versions

The song was covered by ABBA tribute pop group Arrival on their 1999 album "First Flight".
