When Frida sings "Would she care if you lingered, For another night? Wanna hold you tight, We could make it right" (starting at 4'22" in this video) it's just such a perfect blend of want, desire, pain, rejection, and longing. What a voice.
I was never a fan of many of the early songs but this one is up there as a great. Frida's vocals are simply dreamy and silky ❤. That ABBA sound is already there.
@@paqui1018 It is a gift. I'm glad I was able to know them since the late 70s, after they won The Eurovision contest. They were all gifts from heaven... But it's hard to get old because they're getting old too.... I miss those good times soooo much.....
@@natmetalgirl710 everybody gets old 🤷🏼♀️ but they brought to much joy into the world and not all the "old" people can say that hahahaha. ABBA is one of the best things that happend to the music they World
Always, always, ALWAYS, loved this track! We all have tracks that we feel don't get the attention they deserve and this is one of them for me. And yes, Frida is singing about being the other woman in a relationship.
Another super song by ABBA...its a brilliant song, a clear diamond of a song...love it...the typical ABBA sound is clear,as always...they do all genres perfectly,love ballads too,as they more then prove here with this beautiful tone...minutes spent in perfection...
This song is off the Waterloo Album from 1974, not 1991. Remember Abba broke up in 1982. It's Frida on lead so I guess her voice is lighter as she is younger. Always loved this song. Believe or not, there are still Abba songs you have not explored as yet! Love you and your reactions Dereck!
Great reaction Dereck. I love how you really “get” the songs and you notice and appreciate all the little nuances that make them great. It makes listening to them again a new experience. I haven’t listened to this song for many years, and listening again, with your comments, I wonder why I haven’t, as it really is a great song. So thank you for reminding me of how great it is. I am not sure where you got your information regarding this song from, but it is inaccurate (also your description mentions On And On And On). It was recorded on 13th December 1973 and was included on their Waterloo album, released in 1974. A sultry lead vocal from Frida, with the harmonious addition of primarily Agnetha but also B+B.
the song is so old but the singing and the music could have been new i still get goosebumps soo nice. I find the quality of the music including the singing incredible, a lot of talent and skills + work!
Thankyou Dereck great reaction to this TRULY hidden gem, I love any and every song written and sung by ABBA,but within all their beautiful and stunning catalogue of MASTERPIECES, some songs literally tear at your heart and suspend your belief in your reality and make you so numb with emotion, this song is one of many.One thing you learn as you travel through time and space with ABBA and you listen and appreciate their music is that no topic,situations and especially different types of relationships are denied nor left unexplored,this song may sound like a not so pure and a little naughty in its content ,but I see and hear a struggling relationship between a man and a woman being relieved by another woman who appreciates and genuinely loves the man in ways his partner cannot, a sad situation, I agree, with pain and torment for all and BOY doesn't Annifrid deliver to incredible heights the emotion and depth of these lyrics with her beautiful calm astounding voice with the music that carries you into that dimension and situation, I just love this song and it makes me emotional every time I listen to it .
I had never noticed the lyrics despite liking this song and esp Frida's already experienced "silky" performance until now with Dereck's reaction and while my reading comments and infos of other fellow fans.Seems i'm still learning.Great commentary this one of yours too btw Michael.
Gonna sing you my love song (1974) It is a beautiful vocal interpretation of Frida as the lead voice and a very powerful choir when joined by Agnetha It's one of the few early ABBA songs with one of the Ladies in lead voice (second of Frida in two first albums) It is a preview of what Frida will demonstrate with her leadership in the single "Fernando" and later with "Knowing me knowing you" on Arrival and "One man one woman" on The Album is one of my favorites from the album "Waterloo" after the homonymous and colossal "Waterloo" and the catchy "Honey honey" at the same level as "Hasta Mañana" and "Dance (while the music still goes on)" I hope that soon the time will come for your reactions to Bang to Boomerang (1975) Tiger (1976) a cordial greeting from Buenos Aires , Argentina
One of the stand out tracks from the Waterloo album from 1974. It does have some of the ABBA trademarks for example the song building to the full on chorus at the end.
Loved this Song and Frida's voice...!! ❤️❤️ Please react to the songs from the musical CHESS: I Know him so well, One Night in Bangkok, Anthem or Pity the Child....I'm sure you'll like them 😉
The story behind this song. Setting: 1969, Malbo, Sweden Benny and Frida met in Malbo, Sweden for the first time. Frida was on tour with Charlie Norman Band/Show. Benny was with the Hep Stars. Both groups happened to be eating at the same restaurant. Benny & Frida saw each other, sparks fly.... time goes by... Benny had a girlfriend. Frida saw that Benny's gf was not right for him. Benny takes a trip to Paris. Benny offers Frida his apartment as she was looking for a flat in Stockholm, while he was in Paris. Benny returns to Stockholm and Frida leaves his apartment. Boom! Benny realizes he in madly in love with Frida. Benny had a hand in writing the lyrics.
Benny and Frida were seriously in love. During touring season, both Frida and Benny were on tour with their respective bands. After Benny was finished with his gig, he would make certain he left a message at Frida's hotel reception desk for when Frida checked-in. Frida would then expect Benny at a particular time. The next morning he would drive to his next gig. Frida would go to her next gig. And Benny would drive that night to Frida's hotel. ABBA: When Four Become One Producer/Narration: Carl Magnus Palm _____ The hot and sexy couple in ABBA was Benny and Frida. Particularly because of their long engagement and their flirtatious ways on stage. And both had great smiles. They were tabloid gold in the Euro mags. The bookend songs for Frida and Benny (beginning and divorce). I'm Gonna Sing You My Love Song & When All Is Said And Done And the song she sang looking back at their relationship: Like An Angel Passing Through My Room. Frida on a Euro radio interview was asked about 'Like An Angel Passing Through My Room'. She said that was a bitter sweet song and had Benny on her mind when she sings. Recently, with ABBA Voyage interviews, etc ... Frida says she still loves Benny as well as Ragnar (60's) and of course adores her late Prince Heinrich who died of cancer in 1999.
Schon am Anfang ihrer Karriere solche Kracher !!! 👍👍👍 Als WATERLOO raus kam, war ich ein Teenager und von Anfang bis Ende , THE VISITOR 1982 erschien ein riesen ABBA FAN !!! 💯 👌👌👌 💥 Heute bin ich 60 Jahre alt und darf 4 Jahrzehnte später wirklich nochmals die Vier Schweden mit einem neuen Album erleben !!! 🤩😍🥰 🅰️🅱️🅱️🅰️ IS BACK ‼️‼️‼️ 👏👏👏
"Happy Hawai" the official cartoon video and the ear candy "Dum Dum Diddle" (Yes why not?!) the"Arrival" album audio version next ones plz. p.s.Also "TIGER" the official 1976 video and also the explosive live Aussie version from "The Movie" that is the tour's "electric" opening song of the set list.
My fave abba ballad of course from 1974 and an album track a bit overlooked between Waterloo Honey Honey and Hasta Mañana and King Kong Song etc. Not the typical abba sugary pop ballad but way more sophisticated in song and singing with splendid solo vocals by Frida. So sensual. Could have seen this as a good contribution to the Voulez Vous album… sigh. I especially love the bridge of the song where it’s almost jazz pop or r&b ballad or west coast… whatever but not the typical abba Schmalz like on My Love My Life, I‘ve Been Waiting For You or Andante Andante. This one always does it for me, big time. And yes I’m a sucker for Frida‘s sexy vocals…
Ah, at last Dereck gets to this one. Reckon this is one of ABBA's most underrated numbers. It's weird when Björn says that ABBA were 'trying to find their sound' when they were struggling to find a successful follow-up single to 'Waterloo' . They were trying to get an identity with their flirtation with Glam Rock when they already had a classic 'Pop' song like this sitting on the same album. It's not as polished as later numbers and their Swedish accents are much more evident but there is a charm in that too.
This is one of my favorites off their 3rd album titled Waterloo. Other favorites off this album is My Mama Said, Watch Out, Dance (While The Music Still Goes On) and Sitting In The Palmtree.
this song was not recorded or released in 1991. they broke up in 1982. you should know that. the song was released in 1974 on the waterloo album. you usually are on point with your reactions but was way off saying it was released nearly 20 yrs later. a great ighlight to the waterloo album . it was never a single but should have been
Hi Dereck, I think there's some confusion with the intro and the info on the video. This song is not On and On and On, and it's from the 1974 album Waterloo. It was recorded through December 1973. That South African album that you mention, is a very uncommon compilation album from 1991. As always, great reaction :)
One of the 5 best songs from the Waterloo. The lyrics are suprisingly good to say Benny wrote them, one of the last occassions he did before handing the lyrics over to Bjorn. Sung from the perspective of 'the other woman' in a relationship. The only occassion 'Gonna Sing You My Lovesong' was released on a single was on the B-side of the French version of 'Waterloo' single.
"Waterloo', 'Gonna Sing You My Lovesong', 'My Mama Said', 'Hasta Mañana', 'Suzy Hangaround', 'Dance (While The Music Still Goes On', 'Honey Honey' and 'Watch Out' are my top EIGHT songs from the 'Waterloo'. 'What About Livingstone' was ok...not a fan of 'Sitting In The Palmtree' or 'King Kong Song', but overall a fantastic album.
@@nickchristoforou7850 I might be some kinda minority but i adore "Watch out" both music and catchy lyrics....and "KKS" as well as the harmonies on SITP.Each album was a creative progression of the band.
@@alexioverdo5225 I also like King Kong Song, Sitting in the Palmtree and Watch Out. Even at this early part of their career, they were singing chirpy melodies with dark lyrics
@@edned5504Yeaahh! That's so well discribed ..."chirpy melodies with dark lyrics" ha!ha!That's talent.I esp love that "terrified" screaming of the girls on KKS as well as the "thunder" outro on WO!No need to mention the fine glam styled electric guitar solo.Some fan said that guitar line sounds very similar to a Lenny Kravitz song recorded some decades later on-v.possibly coincidental- but can't remember which one btw.Thanks for "bothering" to respond back Ed.
Please don't forget to try Agnetha's solo projects For example: I won't let you go The last time Maybe it was magic I like your reactions especially from Abba, Kim Wilde, Annie Lennox always very well
This is one of the songs that I like from the album. Here are my Album rankings from least to most Disliked songs: ABBA - 0 Arrival - 0 The Album - 0 Voulez-Vous - 0 Super Trooper - 0 The Visitors - 0 Voyage - 1 Waterloo - 2 Ring Ring - 5 107 Songs 99 Songs liked 8 Songs Disliked
@@rdwulf6289I'm with you! I know i will sound unpopular but i liked LT from the beggining lol!Listening to it i feel some kind of familiar Xmas warmth,would possibly change a bit the childrens choir but even that part is still rather ok by me.
You got mixed up. I suppose On and On and On is next. Gonna Sing You My Love Song is a brilliant song, I remember when I heard it for the first time maybe 15 years ago.
Dereck. You have been listening to ABBA long enough to tell the difference between Frida's and Agnetha's voices. Also, "it's the 90's"? ABBA were not active in the 90s. This song is from 1974. Come on.
I believe he might got a little confused cause Frida is very young("Abba-wise") here and voices do change year by year.Also Agnetha's voice doesn't sound excactly the same in lets say "Disillusion" or "Dance(while the music still goes on")1973/'74 as in "Τhe Winner takes it all" and even "Thank you for the music"1980/1978 imho.As for the time of the song's recording he must have been misinformed or smth. But neverthless,i notice each now 'n then, he is usually very accurate and even the Photos he uses on Abba's reactions are of the same era each song was recorded.
@@alexioverdo5225 Yes, there are some songs where Frida's and Agnetha's voices are different to distinguish. But here in this song it is so clearly Frida, that you normally can't confuse it.
@@Lisa-M Hi Lisa,so nice to hear from you.Well i can't say you are "wrong".It's just in my nature that sometimes i tend to wear out every possible thought so to excuse someone's cause of missunderstanding that leads to inaccuracy since i'm not sure if someones faulty estimation is done on purpose or not.ha!ha!That's all.
@@alexioverdo5225 Thank you.🙂 Haha, okay. ^^ But I can remember that Dereck also couldn't say who is the lead singer of "I Still Have Faith In You" but he knew that "Don't Shut Me Down" is Agnetha. So when he is able to identify Agnetha's voice he should be able to identify Frida's voice, too, I would think. 🤔😁
Is that Frida singing? How do you not know that by now? Just listen!!!! Pay attention!!! It is not hard!!! Agnetha sounds like a pop singer, and does does use diaphragmatic breathing, etc.. Has thinner notes, narrow punch powe. Very popish. Frida has a full round warm timbre and has mastered diaphragmatic breathing. Frida has broad power and lots of support. She sounds like a classically trained vocalist not a pop singer. She is the groups pro vocalist and front and center performer entertainer pro. Agnetha is great, but sounds like a standard chest voice pop singer like most pop singers. Nothing wrong with that, but she does not have refined technical skills. _____ Re: Stig, THE BOSS Benny & Bjorn were not the boss. BB worked for Stig Anderson/Polar Music. Stig hired BB in mid 71 to be Polar Music house producer's. They were writing and producing for lots of artist too include Lena Andersson a top rank vocalist. Lena plays a part in ABBA's history. Frida was the huge get by Stig Anderson Polar Music in 1972. And a huge get for a pop group. She was hesitant to join a pop group, a comedown from vocal centric genre's for which she came. Pop was less challenging, but more lucrative. Frida left the foursome after their cabaret shows winter of 70/71. It took Stig over a year and a sweet contract deal to get Frida to commit. Stig then eventually named them ABBA. Stig Anderson/Polar Music was the boss, but Frida had all the power. She knew her value. She knew the business. And in 1972, she got a lucrative deal. ABBA was born. Stig was a songwriter, musician, sometime performer and a hit maker. All his artist and songs dominated the Swedish charts in the 60's. He is an icon in Sweden. He put Sweden's popular music on the map. Wrote all of ABBA's early lyrics, before Bjorn took over. Read those song credits. Stig's name is on lots of early and mid ABBA songs for a reason. His companies that he formed: Sweden Music, 1960 (publishing) Polar Music, 1963. (record label) Like Anni-Frid Lyngstad told the world at the RockNRoll Hall of Fame induction ceremony... Paraphrasing - Stig was a great guy, the 5th member of ABBA and without him, we would not be standing here tonight. Good on Frida. Of the core four members, Frida never forgot Stig and what he did. Today, The Polar Music Prize is named in Stig's honor. ______ The Polar Music/ABBA Team: Stikkan' Stig' Anderson Gorel Johnsen-Hanser Anni-Frid Lyngstad Benny Andersson Bjorn Ulveras Agnetha Falkskog Rutger Gunnarsson Michael B. Tretow & ABBA's loyal top rank session/touring musicians. _____ ABBA:Bright Lights Dark Shadows The Real Story of ABBA By Carl Magnus Palm The dark shadows part is when they went from a foursome (70/71) to a threesome. They lost Frida after the cabaret shows winter of 70/71. The group was done. Stig then worked and negotiated with Frida, who was basically a free agent. EMI Sweden wanted Frida to re-sign/extend her 1967-72 solo contract as they had plans for Frida. So did Stig, but he had to get her under Polar Music as a solo artist. ABBA almost did not happen. Then in 1972, Frida said yes to joining a pop group and she was all in. Known as very detail oriented and a perfectionist.
Almost 50 years old this song. Frida’s mesmerising voice❤
When Frida sings "Would she care if you lingered, For another night? Wanna hold you tight, We could make it right" (starting at 4'22" in this video) it's just such a perfect blend of want, desire, pain, rejection, and longing. What a voice.
The great and beautiful voice of Frida!
Frida just has that silky sultry emotional tone that just puts you there, Beautiful ❤
This is one of ABBA's most underrated songs.............if not their most underrated song. Frida does such a great job with the lead vocals here. 😀
Frida’s beautiful voice is so beautiful! It’s like a ‘musical hug’. 🎶💕
I was never a fan of many of the early songs but this one is up there as a great. Frida's vocals are simply dreamy and silky ❤. That ABBA sound is already there.
This was Frida ❤ You can even recognize her vibrato ! What a song !!!
She is a jazz singer, a mezzo soprano. Her voice is gift!! 🥰🥰
@@paqui1018 It is a gift. I'm glad I was able to know them since the late 70s, after they won The Eurovision contest. They were all gifts from heaven... But it's hard to get old because they're getting old too.... I miss those good times soooo much.....

Always love to see you react to ABBA stuff. You looked really happy on doing so 😁
Gonna sing you my love song (1974)
It is a beautiful vocal interpretation of Frida as the lead voice
and a very powerful choir when joined by Agnetha
It's one of the few early ABBA songs with one of the Ladies in lead voice
(second of Frida in two first albums)
It is a preview of what Frida will demonstrate with her leadership in the single "Fernando"
and later with "Knowing me knowing you" on Arrival
and "One man one woman" on The Album
is one of my favorites from the album "Waterloo"
after the homonymous and colossal "Waterloo"
and the catchy "Honey honey"
at the same level as "Hasta Mañana" and
"Dance (while the music still goes on)"
I hope that soon the time will come for your reactions to
Bang to Boomerang (1975)
Tiger (1976)
a cordial greeting from
Buenos Aires , Argentina
ABBA gold. The best group In world
Dereck try "The Face" of Frida from Shine Album, This song was written by Daniel Balavoine 🤩❤️
One of the stand out tracks from the Waterloo album from 1974. It does have some of the ABBA trademarks for example the song building to the full on chorus at the end.
You have to listen to "Frida Ensam" especially "Ett Liv I Solen"...your banana's will be well and truly out the window!!
What about a double reaction to David Bowie's "Life On Mars" and Frida's swedish version "Liv Pa Mars"? 😃
@Lex Yes, I hope there is a patreon who will suggest that one day. 😀
Never really thought of this song of naughty, but you're right. Wonderful. It was part of the Waterloo album from 1974, a real gem.
Always perfection with ABBA 😍👌
Great song and reaction. Benny wrote this for Frida while he was still with his partner before he left her for Frida. That's the story I heard
Loved this Song and Frida's voice...!! ❤️❤️ Please react to the songs from the musical CHESS: I Know him so well, One Night in Bangkok, Anthem or Pity the Child....I'm sure you'll like them 😉
Yeahhh!!! LOVE the musical CHESS...!!!!👏👏
Nobody’s Side is an absolute banger, I’m sure Dereck would love it
It's from 74 and it is Frida being her young self. The 90s is just the republished song perhaps through ABBA gold
Great song!
Abba legend's... 🌈💚⭐
The story behind this song.
Setting: 1969, Malbo, Sweden
Benny and Frida met in Malbo, Sweden for the first time.
Frida was on tour with Charlie Norman Band/Show. Benny was with the Hep Stars. Both groups happened to be eating at the same restaurant.
Benny & Frida saw each other, sparks fly.... time goes by...
Benny had a girlfriend. Frida saw that Benny's gf was not right for him.
Benny takes a trip to Paris. Benny offers Frida his apartment as she was looking for a flat in Stockholm, while he was in Paris.
Benny returns to Stockholm and Frida leaves his apartment.
Boom! Benny realizes he in madly in love with Frida.
Benny had a hand in writing the lyrics.
Benny and Frida were seriously in love. During touring season, both Frida and Benny were on tour with their respective bands.
After Benny was finished with his gig, he would make certain he left a message at Frida's hotel reception desk for when Frida checked-in.
Frida would then expect Benny at a particular time. The next morning he would drive to his next gig. Frida would go to her next gig. And Benny would drive that night to Frida's hotel.
ABBA: When Four Become One
Producer/Narration: Carl Magnus Palm
_____
The hot and sexy couple in ABBA was Benny and Frida. Particularly because of their long engagement and their flirtatious ways on stage. And both had great smiles. They were tabloid gold in the Euro mags.
The bookend songs for Frida and Benny (beginning and divorce).
I'm Gonna Sing You My Love Song
&
When All Is Said And Done
And the song she sang looking back at their relationship: Like An Angel Passing Through My Room.
Frida on a Euro radio interview was asked about 'Like An Angel Passing Through My Room'. She said that was a bitter sweet song and had Benny on her mind when she sings.
Recently, with ABBA Voyage interviews, etc ... Frida says she still loves Benny as well as Ragnar (60's) and of course adores her late Prince Heinrich who died of cancer in 1999.
It is not the 90's. It was in the Very beggining! Waterloo album. And yes, It is VERY Frida! No mistake.

Hi Dereck, this song was released ba The Gallo Record Company in South Africa as part ot the ABBA double album ABBA the singles The first ten years.
It’s Frida on lead
My fave abba ballad of course from 1974 and an album track a bit overlooked between Waterloo Honey Honey and Hasta Mañana and King Kong Song etc. Not the typical abba sugary pop ballad but way more sophisticated in song and singing with splendid solo vocals by Frida. So sensual. Could have seen this as a good contribution to the Voulez Vous album… sigh. I especially love the bridge of the song where it’s almost jazz pop or r&b ballad or west coast… whatever but not the typical abba Schmalz like on My Love My Life, I‘ve Been Waiting For You or Andante Andante. This one always does it for me, big time. And yes I’m a sucker for Frida‘s sexy vocals…
First time I hear this nice ABBA-song. Thanks Dereck!
This isn't a 90s song - it was on their 1974 album Waterloo - so this is a young ABBA
Yes was going to say the same totally 70s

That's so well discribed ..."chirpy melodies with dark lyrics" ha!ha!That's talent.I esp love that "terrified" screaming of the girls on KKS as well as the "thunder" outro on WO!No need to mention the fine glam styled electric guitar solo.Some fan said that guitar line sounds very similar to a Lenny Kravitz song recorded some decades later on-v.possibly coincidental- but can't remember which one btw.Thanks for "bothering" to respond back Ed.
Frida kills it!
Hey, Dereck, would you mind reacting to another lesser known song from ABBA named "Dream World"? Thank you!
Regarding Benny on keys I can't wait until you react to "Intermezzo No. 1" !!!
90 ? 70 ! love this song
This song is from the "Waterloo" album of 1974. I Googled it.
And when Benny met Frida he had a girlfriend in Paris... He broke up the relationship to be with Frida...
Who says that he had a girlfriend in Paris? He was engaged with Christina Grönvall in Sweden and he has two children with her.
It is from 1974 from the Waterloo album.
Please don't forget to try Agnetha's solo projects
For example:
I won't let you go
The last time
Maybe it was magic
I like your reactions especially from Abba, Kim Wilde, Annie Lennox always very well
"The Last Time"!I always get lost in that superb song!
Frida's were better
Thanks lease react to Dum Dum Diddle, the studio recording 😀

@Lex I really like Little Things. The melody is warm and satisfying - all year round.
@@rdwulf6289I'm with you! I know i will sound unpopular but i liked LT from the beggining lol!Listening to it i feel some kind of familiar Xmas warmth,would possibly change a bit the childrens choir but even that part is still rather ok by me.
@LexSeems I'm not the only fan in the world of this one.Thanx Lex!
You got mixed up. I suppose On and On and On is next. Gonna Sing You My Love Song is a brilliant song, I remember when I heard it for the first time maybe 15 years ago.
1974

Jeanne Mas titre cœur stéréo
But were can you get them which album
Waterloo album
:))
Dereck. You have been listening to ABBA long enough to tell the difference between Frida's and Agnetha's voices. Also, "it's the 90's"? ABBA were not active in the 90s. This song is from 1974. Come on.
I believe he might got a little confused cause Frida is very young("Abba-wise") here and voices do change year by year.Also Agnetha's voice doesn't sound excactly the same in lets say "Disillusion" or "Dance(while the music still goes on")1973/'74 as in "Τhe Winner takes it all" and even "Thank you for the music"1980/1978 imho.As for the time of the song's recording he must have been misinformed or smth. But neverthless,i notice each now 'n then, he is usually very accurate and even the Photos he uses on Abba's reactions are of the same era each song was recorded.
@@alexioverdo5225 Yes, there are some songs where Frida's and Agnetha's voices are different to distinguish. But here in this song it is so clearly Frida, that you normally can't confuse it.
@@Lisa-M Hi Lisa,so nice to hear from you.Well i can't say you are "wrong".It's just in my nature that sometimes i tend to wear out every possible thought so to excuse someone's cause of missunderstanding that leads to inaccuracy since i'm not sure if someones faulty estimation is done on purpose or not.ha!ha!That's all.
@@alexioverdo5225 Thank you.🙂 Haha, okay. ^^ But I can remember that Dereck also couldn't say who is the lead singer of "I Still Have Faith In You" but he knew that "Don't Shut Me Down" is Agnetha. So when he is able to identify Agnetha's voice he should be able to identify Frida's voice, too, I would think. 🤔😁
@@Lisa-M shhhh...He might be a closet Aggy fan lol!
Is that Frida singing? How do you not know that by now?
Just listen!!!! Pay attention!!! It is not hard!!!
Agnetha sounds like a pop singer, and does does use diaphragmatic breathing, etc.. Has thinner notes, narrow punch powe. Very popish.
Frida has a full round warm timbre and has mastered diaphragmatic breathing. Frida has broad power and lots of support. She sounds like a classically trained vocalist not a pop singer. She is the groups pro vocalist and front and center performer entertainer pro.
Agnetha is great, but sounds like a standard chest voice pop singer like most pop singers. Nothing wrong with that, but she does not have refined technical skills.

Re: Stig, THE BOSS
Benny & Bjorn were not the boss. BB worked for Stig Anderson/Polar Music. Stig hired BB in mid 71 to be Polar Music house producer's. They were writing and producing for lots of artist too include Lena Andersson a top rank vocalist. Lena plays a part in ABBA's history.
Frida was the huge get by Stig Anderson Polar Music in 1972. And a huge get for a pop group.
She was hesitant to join a pop group, a comedown from vocal centric genre's for which she came. Pop was less challenging, but more lucrative.
Frida left the foursome after their cabaret shows winter of 70/71. It took Stig over a year and a sweet contract deal to get Frida to commit.
Stig then eventually named them ABBA. Stig Anderson/Polar Music was the boss, but Frida had all the power. She knew her value. She knew the business. And in 1972, she got a lucrative deal. ABBA was born.
Stig was a songwriter, musician, sometime performer and a hit maker. All his artist and songs dominated the Swedish charts in the 60's. He is an icon in Sweden.
He put Sweden's popular music on the map. Wrote all of ABBA's early lyrics, before Bjorn took over. Read those song credits. Stig's name is on lots of early and mid ABBA songs for a reason.
His companies that he formed:
Sweden Music, 1960 (publishing)
Polar Music, 1963. (record label)
Like Anni-Frid Lyngstad told the world at the RockNRoll Hall of Fame induction ceremony... Paraphrasing -
Stig was a great guy, the 5th member of ABBA and without him, we would not be standing here tonight.
Good on Frida. Of the core four members, Frida never forgot Stig and what he did.
Today, The Polar Music Prize is named in Stig's honor.

ABBA:Bright Lights Dark Shadows
The Real Story of ABBA
By Carl Magnus Palm
The dark shadows part is when they went from a foursome (70/71) to a threesome. They lost Frida after the cabaret shows winter of 70/71. The group was done. Stig then worked and negotiated with Frida, who was basically a free agent. EMI Sweden wanted Frida to re-sign/extend her 1967-72 solo contract as they had plans for Frida. So did Stig, but he had to get her under Polar Music as a solo artist.
ABBA almost did not happen. Then in 1972, Frida said yes to joining a pop group and she was all in.
Known as very detail oriented and a perfectionist.
