    A lot of people think that ABBA was successful just because of the incredible voices of the girls. While true, their production was next to none and well ahead of its time. Love and respect, brother, hog fam Canada 🇨🇦 ❤

      the girls voices were 90% of it but they had great songs to sing with great melodies i agree with you i think the songwriting production melodies chords harmonies everything is 2nd to none even as good as the beatles to me and it took me till 2019 when I started listening so closely as a musician . At first I remember the song SOS and always loved it and the way Agnetha said " i wish I understood " well i was hooked and never till 2019 did I know she was so beautiful .

    As hip as your old uncle at the time. Your mom and dad, and any uncool kid were fans. Decades later considered one of the greatest pop bands of all time. So much so, a dedicated auditorium in London for them, plays every day *similar to hologram - it just sold its 1,000,000 ticket. No band could do this. Longevity and well worth it.

    ABBA in the begining two swedish couples:
    Agnetha (blonde singer) &
    Björn (guitarist songwriter)
    Benny (pianist songwriter) &
    Anni Frida (brunette singer)
    both couples separated before the breakup of ABBA in 1982:
    Agnetha & Björn at end of 1978
    Benny & Frida at begin 1981
    "The winner takes it all" (1980)
    is one of the Best Songs by ABBA
    and the Most sad and emotional too
    The best lyrics by the guitarist Björn
    and the greatest performing with the amazing Interpretation
    of
    the blonde singer Agnetha Fältskog and her soprano voice
    The lyrics is a fiction about a divorce,
    it is not about Their real life,
    although it is obviously influenced by Their own experiences
    and the realization of the legal divorce between Agnetha & Björn in the middle of 1980,
    even though They were no longer a couple or lived together more than a year and half ago, at the end of 1978
    In fact, the song was more nearly in time to the split of Benny & Frida as a couple, only a few months later
    the Official Video with more than 120 millions views in RUclips,
    was filmed on July 12 (1980), is a Masterpiece as the song
    it shows the blonde singer Agnetha alone so sad and remembering happy times,
    and the others members so nice together, a perfect example of contrast feelings
    It's the first ABBA vídeo with images in black and white about Their previous history,
    to introduce us in the context; I think it's their best official video
    but just as a great performance by Agnetha is seen in these video,
    almost like a dramatic actress, transmitting the sorrow, anguish and pain,
    there are also videos in the back room of the filming, which show the four cheerful and funque
    These is a TV perfomanece in Germany 1980, also there's other more in France 1980
    "The winner takes it all" return ABBA to the Top of the charts,
    gives ABBA their eighth #1 in UK after almost two years and half
    Also was the fourth and last Top10 to ABBA in U.S (pick at #8 in 1981)
    and #1 in US Adult Contemporary too
    "The winner takes it all"
    was voted the Best ABBA song by the British fans,
    and is the favourite ABBA song to the blonde singer Agnetha
    and now in the new Voyage concerts at London that begins exactly one year before, the encore song is...
    "The winner takes it all"
    For a new reaction I suggest
    "Super Trouper" (1980)
    the last #1 to ABBA in UK
    with the brunette singer Frida in lead voice
    I wish to You a great weekend
    my best regards from
    Buenos Aires , Argentina 🇦🇷
    South America

    (new sub)
    ABBA are:
    🅰️ Agnetha (blond singer, lead vocals on this)
    🅱️ Björn ( guitar, backing vocals and LYRICIST on this, composer, and Agnetha's ex husband at the time)
    🅱️ Benny (piano, songwriter, composer),
    🅰️ Anni-Frid (Frida) (singer, backing vocals on this, still married to Benny at the time, later also divorced )
    Try 'Money money money' (Frida, the other girl, lead vocals on that)
    or 'Does your mother Know' (surprise!)
    They have a huge catalog...

    The singer is Agnetha, her husband wrote this after they got divorced, he went on to marry someone else, she didn't have a partner for many years. He made her sing lines like And tell me does she kiss like I used to kiss, does it feel the same when she calls your name.... It must have been SO difficult for her.

    Shon, It is a break-up song. Agnetha (Anna) sings the lead. It was written by her husband Bjorn and Benny Andersson . Anna and Bjorn were the AB in ABBA "The winner Takes it All" was released at just after they divorced. Benny and his wife Freda (Anni-Frid) were the BA in ABBA. They divorced soon thereafter. Today, 40 years later the band is together again.

    the juxtaposition of ABBA's catchy hooks and upbeat melodies against their sometimes soberingly sophisticated lyrics. It's got something for everyone. You can think deep thoughts while you are dancing! They were deservedly popular, and their music holds up. Glad you reacted to it. I think your innonceence is shaping your world, rather than the world corrupting your innocence. Please keep it that way, Shon.

    Thanks for the reaction. I've always loved ABBA. And yes, this song probably hit home for the blond lead singer. She and the clean shaven guy to her right playing acoustic guitar were married when the band first started out, and he wrote the song. They divorced just as the band really started gaining a lot of world-wide fame. But even though their divorce was friendly, I'm sure there were some feelings there. And the singer with the dark red hair, Frida, has just married the bearded guy at the piano, Benny. Their divorce was not so amicable. The band didn't survive their divorce.
