He is your brother - Björn Benny Agnetha & Frida

'He is your brother' was originally released as the second single by the quartet Björn & Benny, Agnetha & Anni-frid, continuing the lyrical theme of reaching out to your fellow man. While Björn & Benny were originally a duo, the success of 'People need love' was so big that the decision was soon made to continue as a quartet. 

The B-side of the single, 'Santa Rosa' had the working title 'Grandpa's Banjo' and was originally recorded in 1972 with the intention of releasing it as single in Japan. It was considered a Bjorn & Benny track. The writers have explained their dislike of the song, saying that the lyrics were clumsy due to the fact they only put the name Santa Rosa in because it fit the song; they actually came from Stockholm. 

This edition features the original A- and B-side, but on a picture disc. It's the second of five picture disc released at the same time as a re-release of the album Ring Ring in 2023.
