Even the "rejected " ABBA songs are leagues above the mediocre "best" songs of other bands. This song is a gem and one of the best examples of the supreme blend of A and A's voices. That "3rd voice" is so prominent in this. Great on the ears.
Anni-Frid Lyngstad. She was identified in grade school for vocal talents and her keen ear. Won best vocalist awards as a child pre-teen teen and adult, to include 1964 & 1967 National Best Vocalist wins.
I'm really envying you... (Only this last season I've learned bout ABBA and how good they really were - and... I am a Swedish guy. :/ ) Thanks to @Dereck reacts I finally found out about our 'new' Swedish heritage! Wow! And this song almost filled my eyes with tears - of joy!
@@paull4048 Thank you. Agrees with that. And Dereck does his thing so well - he might even have been a good arranger! (I've been a musician since I was 16 years - I can tell he's extraordinaire.)
Yes, it is also one of my fav's both Ladies are such strong sirens in this song, and Frida is so strong and clear, such a gem! But what I do love most is your enthusiasm, how your emotions go crazy, Abba really kills you! So beautiful. I deeply enjoy your reaction each time. You always find a great way to bring some new highlights and explanations. Thank you Dereck, you do Abba absolute justice.
ABBAs songs are full of catchy and happy melodies; you get in such a good mood when you listen to ABBA. Their music pick you up when you are down or in a depression. Make you want to dance and celebrate being alive. The music is effortless, and yet so complex in all their different layers. In my opinion, Benny Andersson is one of the very best composers of our time. When you really and fully understand the text of ABBA songs, you will be amazed of the depth in the lyrics and the phenomenal insights in the challenges of being human. This ability allows us to easily identify with the lyrics. I do not know of any other group that can captivate me and enchant me like ABBA. Their music and lyrics are magical. Neither do I know of any other group that can evoke as many different and genuine emotions and feelings in me as ABBA do. This is a rare talent that ABBA have in abundance. I go as far as to say that this talent makes their music and lyrics a real healing on a very deep, unconscious level. So, in these very turbulent, chaotic and uncertain times, ABBA has a HUGE mission. Love from Lena
Just wanted to say I saw ABBA live at Manchester Free Trade Hall in 1977. I was 20 years old and it remains one of the greatest nights of my life. I'm now 63 and love every track these guys ever put out. Their musicality and vocals, from both girls, are unsurpassed.
Frida's voice positively bristling with emotion. When Agnetha joins in you could almost say that this is the quintessential sound of ABBA. Like you say, it's such a great song and amazing that it lay hidden for so long. As others have said, you are in for such a treat when you get to react to Elaine.
I have always loved this song. Frida's voice is great. When Agnetha joins , it makes the harmonies just amazing. You can hear every word so clearly. Not many artists these days can do this. And lets not forget the boys who can write and compose such great songs.
I also discover this song now, it's absolutely divine, Frida sings with such passion, so loud with a gorgeous vibrato, then both girls harmonize beautifully as in all their songs. No matter who leads, when the other joins becomes divine, that means ABBA, two excellent composers and two golden voices ❤️❤️❤️
Agnetha doesn't come in till part three of the song to give it the full soprano lift. Versre one and two of the song was Frida (alone) doing her own beautiful opera style backing. The two girls sang together completely on the last verse and did it amazingly. What a wonderful song!
Agnetha and Anni-Frid make the PERFECT voice combination. Both have different range and in many times we can not distinguish who is singing. ABBA is unique and there will no other musical group that reach what ABBA made. Unbeatable legacy from Agnetha, Benny, Bjorn and Anni-Frid!!!!!!!!
Re: high unison chorus, metallic edge Bjorn has explained that metallic shimmer edge in high unison chorus is from Frida. Per Bjorn ---Paraphrasing: - Agnetha is a pure soprano. - Frida is a mezzo-soprano, with a very wide range. - the girls sing a lot in high unison (same pitch). Agnetha stays in her neighborhood, while Frida uses her wide range meet Agnetha. - Agnetha stays in her range, and has short travel to high unison. - Frida has the longer travel to high unison chorus. - When Frida reaches high unison pitch, she puts on a metallic edge in her upper range and that is when that metallic sound happens. You can her this in lots of Fruda's solo works. An example is 'Life on Mars' (75) cover. He often demonstrates visually with his hands. One hand Agnetha up high..The other hand Frida lower and coming from below and reaching Agnetha and that is when Frida puts that metallic edge on her voice and that ABBA trademark sound happens. Agnetha is awesome, but she does not have Frida's sense of pitch, diaphragmatic breathing nor refined vocal skills.
This song shows ABBA in full glory. Very happy it had been released after all! Can you imagine we would never be able to have heard this track? Frida's voice is glorious! Tnx for your honest and great reaction, again.
And what a body of work ...the fab-4 gave the world = not one bad tune ....constantly experimenting....even now....VOYAGE....ahead of their time ...ABBASOLUTLY. 🌈💚⭐💕💕🐝.
This along with Move On is their harmonies at their absolute best. This one always gives me goosebumps when Agnetha joins towards the end. So thrilled to see you react to it finally!
what a great reaction !! i always knew that it´s a good song, but not HOW good it is, until i´ve seen your reaction. you put all your emotion in it. thank you so much. looking forward to see more on your ABBA trip.
Many people took Frida for granted, focusing mostly on Agneta because of her looks not realizing what a great talent Frida really is, not taking anything away fro Agneta of course, I love them all equally. Greatest band ever hands down.
Frida a toujours été ma préférée. Elle a le sens du rythme, elle chante merveilleusement et physiquement, elle est tout aussi belle qu'Agnetha. De toute façon, il ne faut pas les opposer. Elles sont formidables toutes les deux.
FRIDA IS AMAZING AS USUAL. (ANDANTE ANDANTE, OUR LAST SUMMER, FERNANDO, WHEN ALL IS SAID AND DONE, I LET THE MUSIC SPEAK, LIKE AN ANGEL PASSING THRU MY ROOM (THE ONLY ABBA'S SONG IN WHICH PERFORMANCE IS DONE ENTIRELY BY ONE OF THE GIRLS), LOVERS, I HAVE A DREAM, ETC, ETC, ETC... 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
SO so glad you reacted to this! So many of today's bands need to listen to some Abba and hear just how you construct a song and make it sound effortless. Beautiful. And I think one of my husband's favourites of theirs.
The song is a great example of a musical phenomenon made up of the voices of both women Frida nad Agnetha, the compositional talents of both men Benny and Bjorn as well as the lyrical talent of Bjorn. The four of them created and developed Abba's original and unique sound that can be considered in the category of musical syncretism. Each of them alone was not the same, anymore. They were just made for each other and... pity that they broke up in both musical and private lifes.
I consider this to be actually one of Abba's best songs, probably top 10 for me. A very uplifting song, subtle complexities and wonderful harmonies. I'm more of a progrock and metal guy, but hey, I can spot quality in every genre (with my untrained and unprofessional ear).
So many of ABBA's songs that I love are not the more popular or familiar; it is songs like this that demonstrate their song writing and story telling prowess. Love your reaction to this. That they can drop in to other cultural styles and do it justice says so much about their ability and talent.
THIS TRACK PEAKS WHEN AGNETHA SETS IN AND JOIN ANNI-FRID. A THIRD POWERFUL VOICE JUST EXPLODES THROUGH YOUR LOUDSPEAKERS, IT'S INSANE. THOSE GIRLS HARMONIZING, OUT OF THIS WORLD 💘💘💘💘
If there ever was a guy who could feel music and his face displayed that, its you! Thats why you are great to watch because your smile, along with the music lights up the room ! You are gifted! Well done!
Wonderful to see ya so excited & happy & animated with such a beautiful big smile, Dereck one of your very best Abba reactions...yay!! (they're all great)
YES! YES! YES! I got so excited when this notification came up! This is such a brilliant song! The vocals are just majestic, and the harmonies......! ❤️ You will keep discovering these gems. This is not the end, because you you still have Elaine, I’m a Marionette, That’s Me, Dream World, My Love My Life, I’ve Been Waiting For you... to name but a few. As a side note, elements of ‘Sombrero’ were used in Cassandra. Because they didn’t think ‘Sombrero’ was good enough for release, they stole bits out of it for Cassandra. That’s where you get the ‘B side’ thing from. Enjoy your Abba journey, Dereck! ❤️
Oh Derek, I love how you speak. The way you repeat a word or phrase 2 or 3 times to get the meaning across is very endearing. Just sitting here on a lovely Sunday afternoon in Cape Town watching your ABBA reactions. So good. 😎
I heard this song on later years..I never knew then that there was this song which frida is the lead vocal..it is lovely...tnx for the reaction and review...☺️😀🤩😁😊💛💖💙 They are pitch perfect ever...it is Magic when they blend...🤗🤗🤗😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉🎊🎊🎊
The song you absolutely HAVE TO listen to (which I suppose is true for all their songs) is "I wonder (Departure)". It is yet another missed hit. And I'm confident you'll love it cause there Frida also flexes immense power. And yes, after that there are still some more of their incredible songs to discover. Peace, m8.
FRIDA HAS ALWAYS BEEN UNDERRATED BUT SERIOUSLY THESE GIRLS CAN SING IF YOU ARE A TRUE ABBA FAN YOU CAN TELL THE GIRLS VOICES APART LIVE IN CONCERT FRIDA WAS VERY STRONG LIVE BUT LOVE THEM BOTH CAN LISTEN TO THEM ALL DAY LOVE YOU DEREK ONCE AGAIN GREAT VIDEO 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Thanks for reviewing this with such enthusiasm, Dereck! Bringing an underrated ABBA song into the limelight and getting us excited about it, and ABBA, all over again!! You're getting quite good at pronouncing their names now, too - good boy 😘!! The ABBA boys really brought out the star performance power in the girls - Frida SMASHES this one!!! Is it very wrong to say that you, Dereck, can storm my Capitol any time? 💕
Just discovered your reaction videos today and like Abba's songs, watching you react is as joyous as the music itself. Thank you for cheering me up, big time, today.
Love your reviews of Abba, Derek! I keep looking for your review of 'Our Last Summer' but can't find one. 'Walks along the Seine, laughing in the rain, our last summer, memories that remain'. Just so beautiful.
ABBA fan 4ever! One of my favorites (including the full album). ABBA fans certainly recognized how ABBA was progressively changing their styles and some format. They were just evolving a newer sound while still retaining the true original Abba style. I feel VISITORS and SUPER TROOPER showed this trend and maturity. I was so sad in 1981-82.
I've never dissed Agnetha, she is very good but for me, Anni-Frid has such a wonderfully rounded voice with tons of class, maturity and hidden depth that I much prefer those songs where she is up front. This song is head and shoulders above most of the competition even though it wasn't a front-runner of ABBA's. This is one of those songs that just keeps on giving!
I love unique voice of Anni-Frid!!! He such beautiful, smoke, velvet, warm, sexy, different, unusual!!! When l hear songs with leading voice Frida, have goosebumps.
Frida canta muito que voz linda não me canso de ouvir frida cantar e quando juntase a agnetha fica mais lindo ainda❤❤
Frida, what a woman!!! 🔥🔥
Frida is topping herself! 😍😍🥰🥰
Agnetha & Frida's voices are unmatchable. And when they sing together there is no one that is better than them. They are simply the greatest
Amazing Anny-Frid she is supreme I love her ♥️🅰️🅱️🅱️🅰️
Even the "rejected " ABBA songs are leagues above the mediocre "best" songs of other bands. This song is a gem and one of the best examples of the supreme blend of A and A's voices. That "3rd voice" is so prominent in this. Great on the ears.
Best comment ever
@@Jjrm938 *Agree! =)*
Great comment about "3rd voice". 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Frida is amazing with her vocals here, but when Agnetha joins in, the harmonies of those two girls send chills up my spine.
Yes that is such a unique Abba sound. Probably the best example of how their two voices can create a third unique sound.
Two great vocalists, wonderful separately but when they sing together it produces a third sound that is simply heavenly.
Frida's voice is so beautiful, and she is a wonderful, wonderful woman.
Right Alex, but the same goes for the equal Agnetha❣ Frida and Agnetha🥰😍🥰😍
The opposite is true...Agnetha is
Песня великолепная - заслуга Фриды, Агнета бэк-вокал всего лишь.
It's merit of Anni-Frid!!! Agneta only back-vocal.
Sings Frida - fantastic!!! 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
It's all just a good body of work of a band that just wants the planet too be happy......costs nothin too be nice 🌈💚🎈⭐💕💕🦋🐝. ABBASOLUTLY. 😉.
THIS REALLY IS A FREAKIN AMAZING SONG !!! 🥰
This is Frida’s voice at its finest and that “third voice” on the last verse was something special. Beautiful.
that was AGNETHA. Notice the soprano up on it.
Волшебный голос Фриды перепел это сопрано. Парящий, фантастический голос Фриды.
Третий голос, благодаря Анни-Фрид!!!
@@melbro62 Their actually Both Soprano's Frida Is A Mezzo Soprano and Agnetha is a Soprano. Frida stated this in an interview years ago.
Фрида великолепна!!!
Damn!!! Those soaring harmonies are out of this world!!!
Such a marvelous song. God, Frida is fantastic. As ever.
Yes, Frida, my favourite, shines on this one!. And when Agnetha comes in, they sound heavenly! Truly love your reactions Dereck.
Anni-Frid Lyngstad. She was identified in grade school for vocal talents and her keen ear.
Won best vocalist awards as a child pre-teen teen and adult, to include 1964 & 1967 National Best Vocalist wins.
This is one of Frida's best performances. It's unbelievable that this went unreleased till the 90s.
What about "When all is said and done"? Amazing voice, amazing lyrics.
That's Frida showing off her Mezzo Soprano voice to the best of it's ability here...
What about Frida in andante andante! 😉
Love this track 😍
Fernando was another of Fridas that showed her best vocal voice.
I often spend a Saturday or Sunday listening to nothing but every ABBA album, which I happen to have on original vinyl. Never grow tired of them!!!!
I'm really envying you... (Only this last season I've learned bout ABBA and how good they really were - and... I am a Swedish guy. :/ )
Thanks to @Dereck reacts I finally found out about our 'new' Swedish heritage!
Wow!
And this song almost filled my eyes with tears - of joy!
@@dlind1985 Never too late to discover a good thing! I am so glad Dereck is bringing in new fans!
@@paull4048 Thank you. Agrees with that. And Dereck does his thing so well - he might even have been a good arranger! (I've been a musician since I was 16 years - I can tell he's extraordinaire.)
Me,neither.😍

I only just heard this song last night for the first time and I am amazed it's so beautiful, Frida's voice is so beautiful.
An absolute gem, vocals from Frida and Agnetha show what fabulous singers they are.
That's what happens when you put 2 Soprano's together in one group, Frida is a Mezzo Soprano and Agnetha is a Soprano!
Frida!!! ❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥💞💞💞💞💞
I love the instrumentation and Frida's performance!

I agree. ABBA makes me feel good 😀😍❤️❤️❤️
Have always LOVED FRIDA. Her low octave and smooth, velvety yet powerful voice. LOVE ABBA, LOVE Frida! 🙏🙌💙❤
Frida favolosa...! Fantastica.. Indimenticabile..grande voce.. Viva ABBA
One of my favourite Abba songs.. Euphoric. The vocals!
Both the girls are stunning singers. ♥

Анни-Фрид шикарна!!! Агнета не одна на бэквокале.
Their voices are true, no over tones or fixing their voices, what you hear is what you get! Brilliant aye.
Re: high unison chorus, metallic edge
Bjorn has explained that metallic shimmer edge in high unison chorus is from Frida.
Per Bjorn ---Paraphrasing:
- Agnetha is a pure soprano.
- Frida is a mezzo-soprano, with a very wide range.
- the girls sing a lot in high unison (same pitch). Agnetha stays in her neighborhood, while Frida uses her wide range meet Agnetha.
- Agnetha stays in her range, and has short travel to high unison.
- Frida has the longer travel to high unison chorus.

You can her this in lots of Fruda's solo works. An example is 'Life on Mars' (75) cover.

Agnetha is awesome, but she does not have Frida's sense of pitch, diaphragmatic breathing nor refined vocal skills.
Did you know that between them, Agnetha was called Anna...!
Love from Norway 👩🦳🇧🇻
Correct! Nice to see another fan that realises this, Frida was so talented and not appreciated enough.
This song shows ABBA in full glory. Very happy it had been released after all! Can you imagine we would never be able to have heard this track? Frida's voice is glorious! Tnx for your honest and great reaction, again.
I keep coming back to this reaction over and over again, it’s my favourite of all reaction videos! Viva la Frida! 🎶 💛
Same here. I love this reaction and the reaction to Our Last Summer. Guess I watched every ABBA-reaction with Frida in lead vocals at least 10 times.
Once again Frida at her finest!!
And what a body of work ...the fab-4 gave the world = not one bad tune ....constantly experimenting....even now....VOYAGE....ahead of their time ...ABBASOLUTLY. 🌈💚⭐💕💕🐝.
Best reaction on this song I've ever seen. Thank you and many greetings from Germany 🌺
"I let the music speak" is a beautiful poem written by Bjorn and sang by Frida. It is brilliant!!
I let the music speak is superb, have no words to describe it
Genial Derek, es así, una canción fascinante, Frida su voz fantástica y juntas maravillosas ♥️♥️
Frida sure can sing!!!!! This one really showcases Frida's voice.
Sicher, Frida ist super. Ebenso wie Agnetha! Beide begnadete Sängerinnen. 🤩😍
Here said about talent of Frida, but nothing about Agneta. She is only back vocal in last part of this song.
Tu as raison, Dereck, nous avons eu de la chance, jamais déçus avec Abba....
This along with Move On is their harmonies at their absolute best. This one always gives me goosebumps when Agnetha joins towards the end. So thrilled to see you react to it finally!
Vgggh
Мурашки от пения Фриды!!!
i saw them live at Wembley i think it was 1979 , now i can get to see the ABBATARS in the new show in Dec 2022
what a great reaction !! i always knew that it´s a good song, but not HOW good it is, until i´ve seen your reaction. you put all your emotion in it. thank you so much. looking forward to see more on your ABBA trip.
All his reacrions are good. Madonna, Pet Shop Boys, Whitney Houston, he is not obsessed about a single band
Great vocal by Frida - When Agnetha joints in - its a Wall of sound- there isn’t a Spanish version - love your reactions man - kindness At u 😷😃👍
Many people took Frida for granted, focusing mostly on Agneta because of her looks not realizing what a great talent Frida really is, not taking anything away fro Agneta of course, I love them all equally. Greatest band ever hands down.
Frida stoked many men's fires too of course.
Totally agree with you 👍🏽
Frida, always my favourite one! She's great.
Frida a toujours été ma préférée. Elle a le sens du rythme, elle chante merveilleusement et physiquement, elle est tout aussi belle qu'Agnetha. De toute façon, il ne faut pas les opposer. Elles sont formidables toutes les deux.
Anni-Frid very beautiful, she more better of Agneta in all. Agneta looks usually.
FRIDA IS AMAZING AS USUAL. (ANDANTE ANDANTE, OUR LAST SUMMER, FERNANDO, WHEN ALL IS SAID AND DONE, I LET THE MUSIC SPEAK, LIKE AN ANGEL PASSING THRU MY ROOM (THE ONLY ABBA'S SONG IN WHICH PERFORMANCE IS DONE ENTIRELY BY ONE OF THE GIRLS), LOVERS, I HAVE A DREAM, ETC, ETC, ETC... 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
SO so glad you reacted to this! So many of today's bands need to listen to some Abba and hear just how you construct a song and make it sound effortless. Beautiful. And I think one of my husband's favourites of theirs.
I’m sooo glad at your reaction to this Dereck one of the undisputed greatest unreleased Abba tracks and Frida’s vocal is just sublime
Frida is a wonderful singer!
They had a lot of B-sides that would have topped easily any songs today.
so true!!!
We tend to forget that their sound engineer Michael Tretow made their songs “sparkle” as he used to put it. Great review as always🤩
8:32 is magic
Frida voice here is surperb although they both sing brilliantly
I always have goosebumps when their blending of voices dance
Wembley arena London..79.
Night of my life...🌈💚💕💕⭐🙏
Watching again! Watching again! Watching again! Watching again! Again and again!!
Love your reactions Dereck ♥️ and love ♥️🅰️🅱️🅱️🅰️
"What an epic way to start a song".
And it only gets better from there on in... another incredible song from an incredible group.
That's ABBA for you. Even the rejects are class A. Kind of reminds me of "Fernando".
It's always so wonderful to hear from professionals how fantastic ABBA is..! Thanks for the review Dereck.
The song is a great example of a musical phenomenon made up of the voices of both women Frida nad Agnetha, the compositional talents of both men Benny and Bjorn as well as the lyrical talent of Bjorn. The four of them created and developed Abba's original and unique sound that can be considered in the category of musical syncretism. Each of them alone was not the same, anymore. They were just made for each other and... pity that they broke up in both musical and private lifes.
You love them vibratos lol.😂 Fridas voice is phenomenal to say the least, so is Agnethas.
I feel you're one of the few RUclipsrs who 'get' ABBA's music with all its facets the way I do. Who feels the same way about it.
I consider this to be actually one of Abba's best songs, probably top 10 for me. A very uplifting song, subtle complexities and wonderful harmonies. I'm more of a progrock and metal guy, but hey, I can spot quality in every genre (with my untrained and unprofessional ear).
Frida meravigliosa voce indimenticabile...!
So many of ABBA's songs that I love are not the more popular or familiar; it is songs like this that demonstrate their song writing and story telling prowess. Love your reaction to this. That they can drop in to other cultural styles and do it justice says so much about their ability and talent.
You are right Dereck this song should have bin released on Super trouper....absolutely AMAZAING song.
THIS TRACK PEAKS WHEN AGNETHA SETS IN AND JOIN ANNI-FRID. A THIRD POWERFUL VOICE JUST EXPLODES THROUGH YOUR LOUDSPEAKERS, IT'S INSANE. THOSE GIRLS HARMONIZING, OUT OF THIS WORLD 💘💘💘💘
Solo of Frida - fantastic!!! 💋💋💋💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥
So good to see someone who loves music do these reactions. It's infectious!
If there ever was a guy who could feel music and his face displayed that, its you! Thats why you are great to watch because your smile, along with the music lights up the room ! You are gifted! Well done!
I love your enthusiasm for ABBA, Dereck! I'm primarily a fan of heavy metal and punk rock but ABBA are my fave band ever. Legit pop demons!!!
It wasn't even a b-side. It wasn't released until several years after they disbanded, in the 90's, during their first big revival. Love it.
I so much enjoy the music but nearly more your enthusiastic way to react , thank you for these shared experiences
Benny is a synthesizer wizard
Wonderful to see ya so excited & happy & animated with such a beautiful big smile, Dereck
one of your very best Abba reactions...yay!! (they're all great)
Frida is fantastic on this but when Agnetha joins her - WOW!!
Great song.. should of been on the Super Trouper album. Amazing lyrics and vocals. A masterpiece really.
The fade out leaves you with the image of the cowboy on his horse, heading off into the sunset at a slow canter.
A hidden gem that is an ABBA classic ! love everything about this song and I want it on vinyl. I knew you would like this one Dereck :)
YES! YES! YES! I got so excited when this notification came up!
This is such a brilliant song! The vocals are just majestic, and the harmonies......! ❤️
You will keep discovering these gems. This is not the end, because you you still have Elaine, I’m a Marionette, That’s Me, Dream World, My Love My Life, I’ve Been Waiting For you... to name but a few.
As a side note, elements of ‘Sombrero’ were used in Cassandra. Because they didn’t think ‘Sombrero’ was good enough for release, they stole bits out of it for Cassandra. That’s where you get the ‘B side’ thing from.
Enjoy your Abba journey, Dereck! ❤️
Stunning 😍😍😍😍😍
this song always makes me happy, i am 56, born in 1964, grown up with ABBA and I love it and so your review Dereck, well done!
Oh Derek, I love how you speak. The way you repeat a word or phrase 2 or 3 times to get the meaning across is very endearing. Just sitting here on a lovely Sunday afternoon in Cape Town watching your ABBA reactions. So good. 😎
I’ve never seen you this alive! This melody touched you deeply 🤗
I heard this song on later years..I never knew then that there was this song which frida is the lead vocal..it is lovely...tnx for the reaction and review...☺️😀🤩😁😊💛💖💙 They are pitch perfect ever...it is Magic when they blend...🤗🤗🤗😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉🎊🎊🎊

Annifrida has never bin underrated! Why do you say that for? Both ladies have always had equal rateings okay!
Yes...those voices are heaven👼
So glad to see this one. Love ya Derek
The music of this is so soft and sweet to the ears,its pure pleasure..just like Dereck said...its pure candy for the ears.......

Thanks for reviewing this song. I told you it’s a good song. Some American singers cover this song but Frida is still the best
I've never dissed Agnetha, she is very good but for me, Anni-Frid has such a wonderfully rounded voice with tons of class, maturity and hidden depth that I much prefer those songs where she is up front. This song is head and shoulders above most of the competition even though it wasn't a front-runner of ABBA's.
This is one of those songs that just keeps on giving!
I love unique voice of Anni-Frid!!! He such beautiful, smoke, velvet, warm, sexy, different, unusual!!! When l hear songs with leading voice Frida, have goosebumps.
After 40 years being a fan of ABBA I never heard this. A new favorite. Thanks!
