ABBA is musical serotonin. Two angelic voices blended in harmony with incredible tunes. Better yet, they wrote and produced every note of their own music. An extreme rarity considering Burt Bacharach was writing nearly every pop tune back then.

I am a Combat Marine of 5 tours, played college ball at UNC, starting quarterback, and fought pro until I took an injury. So you can see I live in a pretty TOUGH world from Jersey City, NJ, and yes I'm black. But I'M THE BIGGEST FAN OF ABBA. I ADMIT IT HERE. I PLAY THEM IN MY CAR EVERY SINGLE DAY. Yes, I would lose my black card if my friends knew. But I'm too old to care now. Thank you for posting this and making me smile as I sit here in my VA hospital bed. God bless all of you.

Benny, playing piano, is the main melody writer. Bjorn, playing guitar is the main lyric writer. Both produce and arrange the songs. In the earlier years Stig, their manager, also wrote lyrics. Agnetha, soprano and Anni-Frid (Frida) mezzo soprano are the vocalists. Their combined voices make a "third voice". ABBA is only 2nd in sales to the Beatles with over 400 million sold. They had 17 number 1 hits. ABBA, Agnetha, Bjorn, Benny, Anni-Frid (Frida) is the acronym for ABBA. You should read about them. They are one of a kind.

ABBA (acronym) has 4 members, Agnetha (blonde), Anni-Frid aka Frida (Brunette), Benny (Piano) and Björn (Guitar), they're from Sweden and became famous worldwide after winning the Eurovision song Festival in 1974 with their first international hit "Waterloo". Agnetha was also married to Björn and Benny with Anni-Frid, the combination of their initials inspired the group's name. Hope that answer your questions for basic info about these legends :)

My wife grew up in Italy back then (Air Force Brat) and remembers watching them at that Eurovision Festival on t.v. She said that the reason they stuck out in her mind was that they were the only group that sang in English where she could understand them. So many more of their songs are SO reaction-worthy. Do it! Not sure if this was mentioned, but the girls were the singers except for one song which was "Does Your Mother Know"....the only one where the guys sing lead (such a great roller rink song, btw). Frida had a hit in the '80's called "There's Something Going On".....and if you listen hard, you can hear those distinct ABBA harmonies loud and clear. Great vid, man. Keep at it!

The ability to craft perfect pop tunes is as impressive and admirable as any high concept art rock bullshit. They have DOZENS of songs in their catalog that’ll make your head explode. Absolute god level.. You should react to Gimme Gimme Gimme! & Lay All Your Love On Me

The history of ABBA can be researched on the Internet. ABBA was and is a guarantee for music that puts you in a good mood. In the ABBA film: "THE FILM", which was shot by ABBA during the Australian tour, a young woman said: "When I hear something from ABBA, I feel like I have to get up to dance." Yes, that statement is spot on. ABBA was and is a group that brought much, much happiness into our world.

ABBA is considered to be one of the largest in music history with over 400 million records sold and is one of the few artists to have succeeded across all the continents of the earth. In the mid-1970s, they were the most successful pop group in the world in all categories. Abba has almost 70 singles as lists all over the world and over 60 albums. In the UK they had 19 straight top 10 singles, 10 singles and nine albums as no. 1 on the British top list of which eight are in succession (1975, -76, -77, -78, -79, -80, -81, -82). In 2014, the group had sold 400 million records and is thus Sweden's most successful music export of all time,

I'm always delighted when someone discovers Abba for the first time. "Dancing Queen" was certainly their biggest hit in America, and it shows off the amazing vocal range of Agnetha and Frida. But there are so, so many other great songs from this iconic band. Looking forward to watching you check them out. Some suggestions: "Fernando," "The Winner Takes It All," and "The Name of the Game."

A while after Waterloo, I remember ABBA appearing on Top of The Pops in the UK with Mamma Mia. My whole family watched it and we looked at each other afterwards and said "that'll be number one," I think it was on the tails of Bohemian Rhapsody. It's hard to believe that this song is now 44 years old, it *still* sounds fresh! When Dancing Queen came out, I was obsessed with it and played it over and over on juke boxes trying to work out the parts, especially, being a piano player, that wonderful piano part. I used to play Dancing Queen, in a covers band and occasionally we'd have guest bass players at gigs and none of them liked playing Dancing Queen, its chord progressions are *way* more sophisticated than your average pop song. I *loathe* ABBA tribute bands, they *never* even get close. Thing with ABBA is, they were the *real* deal. Slick, sophisticated, beautifully crafted songs and by the time they split, they were writing some really adventurous stuff, The Visitors Album, in particular was a masterpiece. But, then, they weren't just a "singles band." All of the albums including and following Arrival are quality albums and like The Beatles and Stones before them, people know not just the singles, but many of the great album tracks... Buy the albums, you won't be disappointed! 😉👍

One of the best group harmonies out there. Fun story. I work in child care in elementary schools and at one school, we were there after school let out and this song started playing over the PA system. Looked in to the hallway to find the principal and vice principal - both ladies, one blonde, one brunette - in front of their offices lip synching and dancing.

This song single handedly launched the disco movement. I was 8 when I first heard it on radio & nothing else sounded like it. Australia found this Swedish group on their radio & kept inviting them for concerts & then the rest of Western Civilization saw what was happening in Australia & then ABBA became worldwide & broke Beatles records right & left & were a major force until 1981 when the women left the men & broke up the group. The men went on to write music for other musicians but ABBA was no more after 7 years in 1981, but their music has lived past them. You should check out Information Society's cover from 1989 of ABBA's "Over The Sea^ as well as "Take A Chance" & "The Winner Takes It All" by ABBA & "Thak You For The Music" and you'll never be disappointed with any song you review from their Greatest Hits Volume I or Two!

I'm a closeted ABBA fan in certain circles, especially when I was much younger when "I still am a diehard hard rock and heavy metal" guy. But yeah I love ABBA. This song and "Waterloo" are ABBA's best known songs in Europe, North America, and even Japan and Australia. In Central and South America "Fernando" is their most known song, they sang it in Spanish. ABBA today is still a world wide phenomena even after 40 years of not really playing together. Thanks Jamel_AKA_Jamal nice REACTION!

Way more than 4.... sure the 4 you see + a drummer, keyboardist and someone on a horn, likely others unseen to back the vocals even more. It's a real shame that they wouldn't do the hard work necessary to do tours, especially to tour the USA. Props though, given the air play on radio stations + album sales, they made bank!
