Musical Showcase: Ludmila Shapira Sings ABBA's Pop Hit "The Winner Takes it All" in Yiddish

"The Winner Takes It All" was a major success for ABBA, hitting No. 1 in Belgium, Ireland, the Netherlands, South Africa and the United Kingdom. It reached the Top 5 in Austria, Finland, France, West Germany, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland and Zimbabwe. 

It peaked in the Top 10 in Australia, Canada, Italy, Spain and the United States (where it became ABBA's fourth and final American Top 10 hit, peaking at No. 8. The song spent 26 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, more than any other ABBA single).

The song was performed in many languages, so why not in Yiddish? Singer and song collector Ludmila Shapira took up the challenge and created a music video with Yiddish lyrics by Lenny Misikoff.

Enjoy!
