      Abba's production always was immaculate. As I remember, that were Björn and Benny- they wrote most of the material and...oops!! Michael Tretow a.o. did the production. My bad.
      I believe, that their authenticity- though often a bit frumpy and stiff, which has it's own charm, is what made them so HUGE. It has a bit Phil Spector- wall- of- sound in it. It appeals to many ears, no matter where you're from. Universal.
      Will be remembered for hundred years or more- strange idea, btw, that there might be some day in the future, where ABBA is looked at as classical music😂...or even the whole "popmusic" will be a nearly forgotten area...aaargh!! Happy I won't be there.😮😮😮😂❤

      Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Anni-Frid, though was the model. During her EMI Sweden and TV days, 1967-1972, she drew lots of attention for her looks and fit body and started modeling.
      Re: vocal talent and stage talent
      Anni-Frid is the one that garner's respect from the music community, past and present.
      She was identified in grade school her vocal talent.
      In 1956 she took to the stage after being elected Children's Day Princess.
      She swept the talent hunts.
      From 1956-1958 she was on stage performing in lots of charity events. In 1958, she turned pro, age 13, when she became "legal".
      She had already earned respect from music pro's and they hired her as soon as possible. Frida at age 13, was making her own way. Fronting bands and orchestras, too include 'Anni-Frid Four' / 'Anni-Frid & Gunnar Trio', 1963-1966.
      Frida has won best vocalist awards as a child, pre-teen, teen and adult. In 1964 she won a national level best vocalist award. In 1967, her big break - National Best Vocalist, which she appeared on National TV hours after her win.
      She became known nationally for her stage and TV performances.
      Re: Agnetha
      She actually started her music ambition as a writer. Pre-teen she decided to become a singer.
      She became Nationally known, not from stage or vocal awards, but via a record label. She was a record label generated pop star.
      In her teens she had fronted a local band. She graduated HS and took a job as a phone operator at a car dealership.
      Meantime a record label heard a tape of the band she was with...and Agnetha had a vocal on the same tape. The record label thought she had a nice voice... He contacted her and cut a record.... This is how her pop career started, record label generated and marketed pop star.
      ________
      For ABBA's background and how they become a foursome, read:
      ABBA: Bright Lights Dark Shadows
      The Real Story of ABBA
      by Carl Magnus Palm **
      The girls vocal abilities are discussed. Frida gets lots of attention and praise from the ABBA team and her peers that goes back to her grade school days.
      Benny, Bjorn and Michael Tretow -- ABBA's engineer, considered Frida a master vocalist.
      ** Carl is ABBA's historian. He knows more about them than anybody else on Earth.

Two cassette tapes I played on trains all across Europe, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, and Austria, were Abba and Stevie Nicks. Bella Donna had just come out around that time as well. Awesome memories, and these songs never get old. R.I.P. Dad, I love you and thanks for the best times in my life!!!

      ABBA were a self contained indie band that did everything themselves. They had no corporate music industry puppeteers or overlords.
      They were their own bosses.
      All the major American and British bands were tied to the corporate music establishment in some way. Not ABBA. The connected bands got the Award shows attention. The American Grammy people ignored ABBA, because ABBA did not "pay to play". They always remained independent.
      Music directly to the people. They made low budget music clips sent to TV program directors around the world. BOOM! ABBA TV before MTV.
      Today ABBA still owns and controls it all. They are the most intelligent run music pop/rock band the world has ever seen.
      Stig Anderson, Polar Music and manager gifted ABBA (core four) 50% percent of Polar Music by the mid 70's. The each owned X amount of shares.
      Since ABBA had no orporate music establishment overlords, the profits flowed directly to Polar Music.
      This music band also owned multiple companies that sheltered their money. Invested in diverse portfolio of Real Estate, Art, Oil, Finance, gold/silver, etc....
      They sold the USSR records for barrels of oil.
      A great team of loyal people who did thier job. And no egos.

So, men were afraid to admit they liked ABBA. For the record, STRAIGHT man here...and I like ABBA...*LOL* Yeah...and speaking for and from the US, a lot of men liked ABBA for the girls, especially for AGNETHA. Loved Frida too, but the focus seemed to be Agnetha.

      I am an Abba kid - 6 years old when Waterloo landed - everything thy did had this energy - all I can remember was seeing people of all ages smile and dance when they came on - even with the awesome new tracks both singers are doing their own thing. The random/amateur element is a special part of the Abba magic. They found greatness without effort. Wish I had the formula.

      The focus back then was on the quality of the SONG and the MUSIC. Even MTV had not yet been discovered when ABBA did their videos....or whatever people would call it back then. They were just very simple and basic skits or images to go along with the song. Years later it became officially called videos. Each ABBA song was its own little musical masterpiece. The guys wrote the songs and the girls sang them to perfection. And it was done for the love of the music. Now today....well...it's an entirely different game for an entirely different world. I'm so grateful my parents introduced me to ABBA at around age 10 or 11. In just over a month I will be 53 and still loving these people and their music. And I've been absolutely thrilled to pieces (and in tears) over their present return! How absolutely wonderful!!

      @@rodneybaer4324 I know perfectly well what years you are talking about and what kind of music you are referring to. For me, ABBA is associated in my soul with the most beautiful memories related to a beautiful friendship from my teenage years when everything was pure and undefiled.

      Their choice to "cone back" is genius because, like with everything else, they do it with their heart and with CLASS. Knowing ABBA and having followed them as I've been since age 11, (I'm now almost 53!!) this return has absolutely nothing to do with money $$$ or attention. They're doing it because they're artists...and old age doesn't change that. And like Benny and Bjorn already stated...they felt they had something to say...and something more to give. They may be ultra modest and humbled by their own success...maybe even a little dumbfounded by their own popularity....but they also damn well know how much they are loved and missed. They've never tried to be anything other than ABBA. They are as original and one-of-kind now as they were in the mid 70's and into the very early 80'. Those two amazing men are gifted writers and musicians. And a true writer never stops writing and a true musician never stops playing. Even when people stop listening. Don't expect so terribly much out of the new songs. They are both unique and outstanding songs....but it's in the original tradition of ABBA. And that's part of why we love them so much...even after all these many years. I am so very excited, grateful and emotionally moved over all of this. The past 3 days have been exhilarating as I listen to and observe everything ABBA. This is literally a global event in terms of music. I've never experienced anything quite like this. For one of the very few times in my life....I don't feel so alone. And I am so very happy for ABBA that this RETURN has been so well received!!

      @@bennyandersson2410 Hello to you!! Thank you for the MUSIC!! I am most grateful 🙏. I visited ABBA: The Museum in April or May of 2013...when it first opened. Spent 11 wonderful days/nights at Hotel Rival!!! I truly loved my experience in Stockholm more than any other city I have ever visited! I sincerely hope to return one day soon. I love everything Swedish! I have owned 4 Volvo automobiles over the past 20 years. I presently drive my favorite Volvo...a 2018 S90 T-6 AWD. Volvo is the only car I will ever own. I also love Swedish meatballs. And Absolut Vodka. The only Swedish thing I'm not sure I like too much...to be quite honest....is the IKEA furniture. I have already pre-ordered two ABBA Voyage cd's and an ABBA Voyage sweater. And I really want so much to visit Stockholm again. But it's an expensive $$$ trip. And I will most certainly stay at Hotel Rival. I loved the location and my room and the wonderful food at the restaurant....especially the breakfast buffet each morning. I cannot thank you enough and I am so very humbled and so very grateful. All the best to all of you and your families. Sincerely, Rodney Baer in Los Angeles. Rodneyhb68@yahoo.com

    What would life have been like without ABBA! Happy 50th! 🎉 Go to ABBA Voyage concert as soon as you can! I remember vividly watching the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest as a 6 year old and watching ABBA performing “Waterloo”, and being mesmerised. I’ve been a fan ever since, even being bullied for it, especially when entering secondary school in 1978. ABBA have a combined wealth of nearly £1.5billion. Oddly enough, 6 April 1974 to 6 April 2024 is 1,577,912,463 seconds. So ABBA have earned £1 per second over the last 50 years! Thank you Anni-Frid, Bjorn, Benny, Agnetha.

      +Sebastian Baran Me too. A friend sent me a link of Benny and two singers doing ABBA songs. That prompted me to look up ABBA on RUclips. I have spent the week watching dozens of ABBA videos. Also I have watched interviews (Stavlan) with ABBA members and anything Agnetha. I am not a stalker. I had a crush on her back in the 70s and now have it again. I want to both thank and "kill" my friend. I can't seem to stop watching ABBA videos.

      The best vocal harmonies to ever come outta Sweden, for sure. There is a current modern day contender in an sisterly duo from Stockholm: First Aid Kit. Their vocal harmonies are the best i know of in today's music scene. They shine when live on stage. First Aid Kit live at Polar Music Prize is what i would suggest for people that want to check them out for the first time:)

    All my favorite songs from my younger years always made me cry and laugh and cry and smile! I want so badly to go back and do it again!! My childhood was so much fun, I grew up in a small town named canby in Oregon state. Me and my friends were the misfits and the ones who would sneak out and meet up with friends and girls and just walk around town doing dumb funny things ❤❤I miss it so much ❤😢😢

    This is September 2024 & this song of ABBA continues to be exceedingly exciting, excellently elegant, exceptionally exotic, exclusively elating & exquisitely entertaining even today. The singing is soulful, spellbinding, superb, sincere & sweet and music is marvellously melodious, magnificently memorable and magically masterpiece. The actings by Agnetha & Anni Frid are charming and sober at the same time. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

      @@jaykilkenny4409 Yes, I can think of a couple of musicians who used birdsong as a basis for songs they did, and they just emphasized for me how inhuman and unmusical birdsong really is. It's nice, but lacking a consistent tempo and rhythm. Birdsong is like short phrasing or 'licks', like a guitarist might do, but without the rest of the band playing to make it a real song.
