Two of the most gorgeous woman to ever walk the earth. Having the most beautiful voices ever recorded Two of the most awesomely talented guys. It's like a magical miracle that we'll never experience in music again.
I don’t think it will ever happen again. There was just too many pieces that just fell into place. We are so fortunate that it even happened. Absolutely love all their songs, every song is great.
This is a fabulous Abba album.Inside out.From the azure-ish/silvery -blue cover to every single circle the needle spins on the vynil of the turntable lol.
@@timradde4328 It may be that you did not recall "The Day Before You Came" because it was a later single - and not on one of their studio albums. It was released after "The Visitors" (1981) album and on a compilation album "The Singles - The First Ten Years" (1982). Another good, later single was "Under Attack" which I believe was their last released song prior to the group's break-up in 1982.
Another hidden Gem by ABBA. As you said, nobody has their sound, and they keep pushing the envelope. I am so glad you've discovered (what I consider) the greatest group of all time. I LOVE your channel!!!!
Michael Tretow is a vital part of making the specific ABBA sound. One of the worlds best engineers, that uses all possible tricks, like vocal doubling with the second part slightly detuned, just to give a fuller sound. Amazing guy, and a legend in Swedish music
It would be really interesting to watch a reaction to Hey, Hey, Helen. Without giving anything away, I think it will be an unexpected surprise. Very different and yet very much ABBA.
I first heard 'Angeleyes' by ABBA when it came out in the summer of '79. I was a young man, and the song was a breath of fresh air-a catchy pop tune with an intriguing message. The song is a warning to women about a man with a deceptive nature, luring them in with his innocent gaze, but in reality, he's a player. Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus from ABBA wrote this song, and it's interesting how they flipped the script, empowering women to be cautious of such men. It's a fun, upbeat song with a subtle yet powerful message. Over the years, 'Angeleyes' has remained a favorite for many, and it's great to see it finding new life on TikTok, showing that ABBA's music truly transcends generations.
Perhaps, but it was a face of the hit "Voulez-vous " and moreover their hits Europe follow one another at an almost frenetic pace, they didn't know which titles to put forward. But there are tracks that are not in their "Gold" compilation for this reason, which are nevertheless excellent, too.
Epic! Angeleyes was another masterpiece from the stellar album Voulez Vous. The opening song is “As Good As New.” If you play that one, you will be speechless. When you think ABBA cannot improve upon what you have already heard, you hear songs from the Voulez Vous album and you think- how is this even possible! Their follow up album Super Trooper has a beautiful song called “Andante Andanda.” ABBA song reviews could even be its own RUclips channel. I wouldn’t be surprised if graduate students have studied the group for their thesis.
Jay and Amber, Angeleyes was the flip side of Voulez Vous. Hoping you can listen to my two favorite ABBA tunes: Lay All Your Love On Me and The Visitors. You’ll be amazed by how their sound progressed

@@herrbonk3635Yes i know. I wasn't reffering to touring but studio recordings.Personally i prefer their '77 choir line up with the 3 girls.Amazing vocal support.
Angel Eyes is off the Voulez-Vous album from 1979. The album also contains one of Jay & Amber's favorite ABBA songs, Chuiqitita. You'll also find Does Your Mother Know on this collection.
Benny and Bjorn produced ABBA themselves all through the band's career. Remember ABBA was the second act of the careers of the members, who were all successful in Sweden before ABBA, so the guys had plenty of studio experience from day one. But their legendary sound engineer Michael B Tretow must also be mentioned. He both innovated recording techniques himself and figured out the secret tricks of the big producers in L.A., New York and London. He took ABBA to the next level in terms of sound. They could hardly have made it without him. And unlike a lot of contemporary stuff it still holds up. Also, a shout out to the trusted group of session musicians who played on those albums. They contributed greatly to those classics. (Although Benny's keyboard work is typically very prominent).
You forgot to mention Stig «Stikkan» Anderson, who owned Polar Music and produced most of ABBA's mucic. The band members consider him the fifth ABBA, because he had a major influence on their final products...
Jay and Amber, it’s been a pleasure and a privilege to watch your musical journey and the growth in your knowledge of all the fabulous artists and songs that so many of us grew up on. It’s funny now to go back to the brick wall episodes and see how green you really were and to see how far you’ve come now ✌️
I remember watching in those early days before Amber even came on the channel & how much musically they have grown & opened up. (Their looks & even demeanors have even changed since then!) It IS wonderful to witness - & fun to go back & re-watch those early episodes. I love in some of the early episodes where J. may look at a performer or group ie. the Rolling Stones (I don't remember if this was one or U2 etc.) & say that he/they had never heard of them & are they a one hit wonder. I bet they would be embarrassed if they were made to witness those early episodes on camera - but they ARE from a completely different generation & it is so good to see how they HAVE LEARNED so much about all of our classic music (or let's face it - music - as I don't characterise talking to a beat with no or next to no instrumentation as music [rap "music"] - as J. was solely used to .) There are so many good & bad things about the internet, but one of the good things is the chance for young people to have these music reaction channels & learn what music used to be & about those songs & groups we used to know so well. Take care J. & Amber & continue to enjoy & learn. There is STILL so much out there that you haven't even touched on yet that were big (groups & even international styles of music that you haven't gotten to - outside of ABBA & some Canadian, Australian, UK stuff.) We have MUCH MORE for you to discover & more music from bands you haven't heard enough to solidify their sounds in your minds yet. It will still take time - but we are here for your continuing journey. By the way Amber, you two now ARE - Officially - part of "the cool kids" - (while many of your generation are still left behind - for now.)
"Angeleyes" (1979) is a good disco-style song (7pts), w ithin album disco-style "Voulez Vous" (with the exception of the ballads "Chiquitita" and "I have a dream") that ABBA recorded following the influences of disco music in North America with Bee Gees hits It was together, with "Voulez Vous" as double A-side, the third single from said album, it reached #3 in UK In this album I prefer other songs of that style: "As good as new" (the opening track) the tittle track, "Voulez Vous" ore one special that come soon "If it wasn''t for the nights" but these tuned is loved for the fans and was trendiing in Tik Tok a year ago, with a lot of streaming in Spotify Unfortunaly it haven't a official video or TV perfomanece I see you in next ABBA vídeo My best regards from Buenos Aires Argentina 🇦🇷 South America
@eduardooscar309 : Angeleyes didn't get a video because as you pointed out it was a double A side, so they made a video of the second A song Voulez Vous for the release which was shown on television at the time, however, at least in the UK Angeleyes got played on the radio more so both songs got exposure in different formats. Pity though no video.
One of my fav ABBA song, an excellent piece of work, loved it and thanks for your reaction. You guys should consider reacting to The Visitors, Lay All Your Love On Me, Eagle, Name of the Game and Move On

ABBA IS AMAZING AND IN THE 80S AND 90S WERE THE MAJOR EXPORT FROM SWEDEN
I remember Abba being played around our house in the 70's courtesy of my sister while I was getting so heavily into The Beatles, always amazing music in our house as I was a kid growing up. Love both bands so much.
There's a great cover version by a band called The Czars, led by singer John Grant. That acoustic version makes you pay more attention to the lyrics, which is quite melancholic actually.
John Grant is wonderful! His version and voice brought chills up my spine. Later, I attended a live performance. I was disappointed that he did not sing Angeleyes. Nonetheless, I absolutely enjoyed his performance. I even ran into some friends of mine.
@@Vates104 I didn't know much about him back then, so when he changed the lyrics to "and I saw you together with a young BOY" and kept the part of "it's a game he likes to play", I was like, hmmm, that's interesting... 😉😉😉
Thank you, my favourite Abba song, this one holds so many memories for me. Hearing this blasting out from the discos along the promenade during the hot summer nights of 1979.
Been waiting for you get to this one ! .. It's easily in my Top 10 ABBA songs, but it is criminally under-exposed to the general listening public .. It's a melodic masterpiece !
Somebody I know said, "There's only one band sounds like ABBA, and that's ABBA." You guys nailed it. Their sound is so unique, their music so well-layered and produced, their voices so angelic. They're a once-in-a-lifetime group.
everyone is finally realizing just what a difference he made on Abba's albums. (including me) But anything Abba does together is like manna from heaven.
Thanks for reacting to Angeleyes, one of my favorites tracks off the Voulez Vous album. Another one to react to is As Good As New from the same album. Also, please react to Lay All Your Love On Me off the SuperTrouper album.
Anni-Frid Lyngstad aka Frida has a solo song produced by Phil Collins entitled “I Know There’s Something Going On” which I hear on the radio from time to time. 🎧👍🏾
Thank you. ABBA is my all time favourite band, but to see your T-shirt with Strawberry Fields on it was so amazing. I am from Liverpool and that place is only a short distance from me. I love your videos. Thank you
Wow friends thank you so much...ABBA put on the radio this song with another hit called "Voulez -Vous" at the same time, maybe their best disco hit ever... Recommend you react to that melodie a lot....
You asked "who produced their stuff" - Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson produced much of Abba's music themselves, often jointly with music producer Michael Tretow.
You guys do the best reaction videos on RUclips in my humble opinion because you genuinely seem to love the music and are knowledgeable about it. It’s very refreshing and we appreciate you for it, so many thanks. I’m sure others have already suggested it but I’m going to add my vote. You must, must, must listen to Thank You For The Music by Abba. It really is one of their best and most iconic songs and as the title suggests, it’s about the pure love of music for music’s sake. You will love it, I know you will..
I forget about this one! Abba truly has no bad songs! And really so happy Jay and Amber to know how much you both appreciate all music, any genre, etc. It definitely opens your world up to so much! Jay, now you need to share all those songs that Amber missed early on with her!!! There were many great ones ... One of my faves Wild Cherry's Play That Funky Music! Thank you both for bringing back memories for me and opening my eyes to some songs as well!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Outstanding track from voulez-vous album should have been a huge hit this is just sheer perfection brilliant never get tired of hearing this after 45 years😊
Top tune off one of their best albums. As someone has previously mentioned in the comments, the first track off this album, 'As Good As New' is sublime - a must listen for you two
Benny and Bjorn produced their own music. This is one of their underrated songs and also a good example of the "One Voice" sound (Abba fans know about this) of Abba when the two ladies sing together in unison. Have been an Abba fan since 1976. Bjorn is pronounced Bee....yorn and Agnetha is pronounced Ang...yeta.
Hi Guys greetings from England 🇬🇧 you really need to check out The Abba Song "THE DAY BEFORE YOU CAME" this was one of ABBA"S final songs and its such a hauntingly,Atmospheric and Beautiful song from Agnetha with such a great video as well its so unlike other Abba songs.
One of my very favorite ABBA songs, which I’d never heard until I saw the second Mamma Mia movie - it grabbed me instantly. It’s got one of their most infectious melodies, fantastic instrumentation, and great vocals as always. Pure pop perfection.
I love the Voulez-Vous album! It's my favorite. You should give all those songs a shot: "If It Wasn't For the Night," "Lovelight," "Kisses of Fire," "Lovers (Live A Little Longer)," "I Have A Dream," and all the others that you haven't heard yet.
Good job you guys, you can't go wrong with ABBA, they have so many diverse but cool songs! , here's a few more to check out.. " That's Me", "Eagle" , "Hey, Hey Helen" , " As Good as New" , "Tropical Loveland" , "VOULEZ-VOUS"... That will work for now , there's still more cool songs!.. I've been a huge fan for 50yrs and they keep that spirit alive.. so good... Got to Love ABBA!..😁.. I got to thinking ... " My Love My Life" , is a stunning harmony song , add that to the list too...👌

50 years will pass and people will continue to be surprised by ABBA's music, They are voices of ANGELS ❤❤❤
My Favorite ABBA Song....❤
No kidding, soooo many ABBA songs are just so exhilarating !!
It's already been 50 years in 2024. They exploded onto the Music Industry in 1974 with "Waterloo".
A radiopresenter in my area in germany likes to say "a day without ABBA is possible but sensless" 😂
so true!
Wunderschön. 🇸🇪
True!!!!
Nice; i love that
This is one of my favourite ABBA songs. So underrated.
Yep, mine too.
Two of the most gorgeous woman to ever walk the earth. Having the most beautiful voices ever recorded Two of the most awesomely talented guys. It's like a magical miracle that we'll never experience in music again.
Never say never.
@@Ezekielepharcelis true 👍🏻 but I don't think it will happen in my lifetime. 💙
There will never be anyone like ABBA very distinctive so talented ❤❤❤❤
I don’t think it will ever happen again. There was just too many pieces that just fell into place. We are so fortunate that it even happened. Absolutely love all their songs, every song is great.
I used to listen to this whole album almost every day. Love ABBA
Its my preferred album tho …The Album runs it close with my two favourite abba songs Eagle and I Wonder
Me too. I remember when it was released and my Mom came home with the record. It's still at home.
This is a fabulous Abba album.Inside out.From the azure-ish/silvery -blue cover to every single circle the needle spins on the vynil of the turntable lol.
Slipping through my fingers. Words never hit until I had my own kids ... so beautiful ❤ can't go wrong with ABBA ❤
I think they'd definitely love that one.
OMG no one ever knows this one when I mention it! Thanks!
I remember this. I thought I knew all their songs. But had never heard "The day before you came". Don't know how. Love ABBA then and now.
All the songs on that album were excellent
@@timradde4328 It may be that you did not recall "The Day Before You Came" because it was a later single - and not on one of their studio albums.

I recommend this song months ago
This was a double A side single with Voulez Vous
The greatest ever pop group to grace us with their incredible musical talent, we will never see the likes of them again.
Can we finally say we love the ABBA in the open. Those harmonies. 🎉
Some of us were happy too say that out loud 30 plus years ago!
@@richardhussey-cq2se True…but with a little more maturity.
45 years later, and this song is a timeless classic! Like most ABBA songs!
ABBA is ALWAYS wonderful!
Yay! I'm always here for your ABBA reactions! "One Man, One Woman," and "Move On" are among their best, even though they weren't mainstream hits.
Both Majestic 'underated' deep cuts!
OMOW is great
Another hidden Gem by ABBA. As you said, nobody has their sound, and they keep pushing the envelope. I am so glad you've discovered (what I consider) the greatest group of all time. I LOVE your channel!!!!
Definitely one of their underrated songs. Another one is "If it wasn't for the night". You will love that song.

@@michelemercier2286 Watch out and Rock me belongs in the same category
Awesome choices!!!!
@@martinhumbleGreat choices!!
It's time for another ABBA reaction. Please react to Hey Hey Helen. It's a hidden gem....
The two women in abbas voices go so well together and unique as i havent heard any like them.
Each lady sounds great on her own, but when their voices join - that's what makes the ABBA sound unique. Fans call it the "third voice".
Its hard to find a bad ABBA track. They are more than excellent. This is no ordinary band. 🇸🇪
Agree
No auto tune those days!…just pure talent.
‘Angel Eyes’ and ‘Take A Chance’ are my favorite ABBA songs.
One of my favourite of all ABBA songs - so layered and complex. Those harmonies are perfection! Euphoric!
If It Wasn’t for the Nights is another amazing song from this album .love your reactions
When the chorus kicked in I saw your souls melt. Don't deny it. ABBA does that x
One Night In Bangkok was also written by ABBA. Benny Anderson on the piano writes the music and Bjorn on the guitar writes the lyrics.
I first heard 'Angeleyes' by ABBA when it came out in the summer of '79. I was a young man, and the song was a breath of fresh air-a catchy pop tune with an intriguing message.

How this song wasn't a huge hit in America is simply a crime by radio programmers.....super catchy and infectious.
Perhaps, but it was a face of the hit "Voulez-vous " and moreover their hits Europe follow one another at an almost frenetic pace, they didn't know which titles to put forward. But there are tracks that are not in their "Gold" compilation for this reason, which are nevertheless excellent, too.
One of my favourite Abba songs for sure. The way the beat builds up to the chorus, combined with the lyrics gives classic Motown vibes.

ABBA rocks!
No ABBA Discos lol
"Angeleyes" (1979)
is a good disco-style song (7pts), w
ithin album disco-style "Voulez Vous"
(with the exception of the ballads
"Chiquitita" and "I have a dream")
that ABBA recorded following the influences
of disco music in North America with Bee Gees hits
It was together, with "Voulez Vous" as double A-side,
the third single from said album, it reached #3 in UK
In this album I prefer other songs of that style:
"As good as new" (the opening track)
the tittle track, "Voulez Vous"
ore one special that come soon
"If it wasn''t for the nights"
but these tuned is loved for the fans
and was trendiing in Tik Tok a year ago,
with a lot of streaming in Spotify
Unfortunaly it haven't a official video or TV perfomanece
I see you in next ABBA vídeo

That’s an excellent combo 👌
There's a great cover version by a band called The Czars, led by singer John Grant. That acoustic version makes you pay more attention to the lyrics, which is quite melancholic actually.
John Grant is wonderful! His version and voice brought chills up my spine. Later, I attended a live performance. I was disappointed that he did not sing Angeleyes. Nonetheless, I absolutely enjoyed his performance. I even ran into some friends of mine.
@@Vates104 I didn't know much about him back then, so when he changed the lyrics to "and I saw you together with a young BOY" and kept the part of "it's a game he likes to play", I was like, hmmm, that's interesting... 😉😉😉
Dancing Queen, Andante, Andante, are 2 must songs
Agree andante andante is amazing and really showcases Anni Frid’s vocals it’s one of my top 5 😊
@@dottzie33 it is their most underrated, most sensual song, and I completely agree where you placed it.
One almost too well known (a real staple at karaoke!); the other almost a buried treasure, and one of the sexiest songs ever written...
@@stevetournay6103 I agree but I call Andante, Andante the most sensual song of all time as opposed to sexiest. Regardless, it is brilliant
And TWTIA, OLS, and. And
Dancing Queen is a must!
How Dancing Queen hasn't been reacted to yet, I just don't get it! One of, if not their most iconic song.
The King has lost its crown, another great song from the Voulez-Vous Album
One of my fave ever ABBA songs. Perfection.
It's amazing how they managed to take an emotional song and marry it to an upbeat tune, it's one of their signatures in creating fantastic songs.
Thank you, my favourite Abba song, this one holds so many memories for me. Hearing this blasting out from the discos along the promenade during the hot summer nights of 1979.
Been waiting for you get to this one ! .. It's easily in my Top 10 ABBA songs, but it is criminally under-exposed to the general listening public .. It's a melodic masterpiece !
This is a top 5 ABBA track, easily. The harmonies at play here are STUNNING. That chorus is solid gold.
You really need to hear "Dancing Queen." Can't wait to see that reaction. 😊
They’ve surely heard it…….even though no reaction yet.
And it’s been so many movies!!
Somebody I know said, "There's only one band sounds like ABBA, and that's ABBA." You guys nailed it. Their sound is so unique, their music so well-layered and produced, their voices so angelic. They're a once-in-a-lifetime group.
Hugely underrated track, in my opinion!
I just can't understand how anyone could not be caught up in this - just pure ABBA glory!
Michael Tretow was the genius engineer on the ABBA albums.
Absolutely!MT a genius , a scient of sound conception.
Michael B Tretow if I may... :)
everyone is finally realizing just what a difference he made on Abba's albums. (including me) But anything Abba does together is like manna from heaven.
ABBA reminds me so much of my childhood as a kid in the ‘70’s & ‘80’s. I remember my mom listening to them on 8-track.
This guy in the town the other day was playing Dancing Queen on a Didgeridoo.
I thought to myself, that's Abbariginal!
tv
Thanks for the giggle!
Badump bump crashhhhh...
Tim vine
My favourite ABBA song!
ABBA are top tier pop music there aren't many better.❤
After FIFTY [ 50 ] years there still have none been better .
🇸🇪
You can't go wrong with ABBA, there's something for everyone.
Mama Mia and Mama Mia Here We Go Again!
Thanks for reacting to Angeleyes, one of my favorites tracks off the Voulez Vous album. Another one to react to is As Good As New from the same album. Also, please react to Lay All Your Love On Me off the SuperTrouper album.
I know I've said this before Amber and Jay everyone can thank Australia for ABBAs success 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Music is the greatest history lesson that one can experience
Anni-Frid Lyngstad aka Frida has a solo song produced by Phil Collins entitled “I Know There’s Something Going On” which I hear on the radio from time to time. 🎧👍🏾
They have reacted to that song
@@Lisa-MAwesome! I’ll have to find that one. Thanks!
Thank you. ABBA is my all time favourite band, but to see your T-shirt with Strawberry Fields on it was so amazing. I am from Liverpool and that place is only a short distance from me. I love your videos. Thank you
Wow friends thank you so much...ABBA put on the radio this song with another hit called "Voulez -Vous" at the same time, maybe their best disco hit ever... Recommend you react to that melodie a lot....
You asked "who produced their stuff" - Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson produced much of Abba's music themselves, often jointly with music producer Michael Tretow.
Im so glad you did this reaction as this was my suggestion. It’s the one song that is never mentioned but is one if their best!!! ❤
Eagle or My Love My Life must be next! 🤞🏻
I love "Eagle".
If it's Eagle it should definitly be the longer version. 👍
Dancing Queen! You’ve got to listen to that one. This was such a disco anthem back in the day.
You guys do the best reaction videos on RUclips in my humble opinion because you genuinely seem to love the music and are knowledgeable about it. It’s very refreshing and we appreciate you for it, so many thanks.
I’m sure others have already suggested it but I’m going to add my vote. You must, must, must listen to Thank You For The Music by Abba. It really is one of their best and most iconic songs and as the title suggests, it’s about the pure love of music for music’s sake. You will love it, I know you will..
Hello, I have another ABBA song for you. It's from the Super Trouper album, and it's an upbeat disco-style song called "Lay All Your Love on Me."
Such a great song, such an under rated song. The harmonizing on it are outstanding a usual. Love this song.
Love Angeleyes -- it's one of my favorites for sure. Glad you picked this one!
I forget about this one! Abba truly has no bad songs! And really so happy Jay and Amber to know how much you both appreciate all music, any genre, etc. It definitely opens your world up to so much! Jay, now you need to share all those songs that Amber missed early on with her!!! There were many great ones ... One of my faves Wild Cherry's Play That Funky Music! Thank you both for bringing back memories for me and opening my eyes to some songs as well!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Watching all your ABBA reactions, i can´t believe you haven´t reacted to ´Thank you for the Music´...
"Dancing Queen" was ABBA's biggest hit!! I can't believe it wasn't the first ABBA song done. I can't wait for their reaction.
I always get a big boost of happiness when I see a new video from you guys! And an ABBA reaction is just the cherry on top! ❤
Love it! Can’t go wrong with ABBA. Great harmonies.
Outstanding track from voulez-vous album should have been a huge hit this is just sheer perfection brilliant never get tired of hearing this after 45 years😊
Top tune off one of their best albums. As someone has previously mentioned in the comments, the first track off this album, 'As Good As New' is sublime - a must listen for you two
AGANT was a continental single in a couple Latin American coundries and a no1 hit single in Mexico. btw.
So glad you did Angeleyes. You have to do The Winner Takes It All for the next ABBA song
Already done three years ago.
Benny and Bjorn produced their own music. This is one of their underrated songs and also a good example of the "One Voice" sound (Abba fans know about this) of Abba when the two ladies sing together in unison. Have been an Abba fan since 1976. Bjorn is pronounced Bee....yorn and Agnetha is pronounced Ang...yeta.
ABBA - "Rock Me".
Hi Guys greetings from England 🇬🇧 you really need to check out The Abba Song "THE DAY BEFORE YOU CAME" this was one of ABBA"S final songs and its such a hauntingly,Atmospheric and Beautiful song from Agnetha with such a great video as well its so unlike other Abba songs.
Benny and Bjorn write and produce the ABBA catalogue.
ABBA are now performing on stage again, after Benny and Bjorn put together an Avatar gig.🎉
Proof of Heaven? Listen to ABBA ❤
You can't go wrong...with a bit of ABBA .
One of my very favorite ABBA songs, which I’d never heard until I saw the second Mamma Mia movie - it grabbed me instantly. It’s got one of their most infectious melodies, fantastic instrumentation, and great vocals as always. Pure pop perfection.
I love the Voulez-Vous album! It's my favorite. You should give all those songs a shot: "If It Wasn't For the Night," "Lovelight," "Kisses of Fire," "Lovers (Live A Little Longer)," "I Have A Dream," and all the others that you haven't heard yet.
Good job you guys, you can't go wrong with ABBA, they have so many diverse but cool songs! , here's a few more to check out.. " That's Me", "Eagle" , "Hey, Hey Helen" , " As Good as New" , "Tropical Loveland" , "VOULEZ-VOUS"... That will work for now , there's still more cool songs!.. I've been a huge fan for 50yrs and they keep that spirit alive.. so good... Got to Love ABBA!..😁.. I got to thinking ... " My Love My Life" , is a stunning harmony song , add that to the list too...👌
Glad you guys have been enriched by the music that charmed us like no other generation.
