I could never in a million years get my hair to look like Bjorns. ☺️

[@nuracaicedo2632]

That's Annie Frid singing baby Love in Sweden wow so beautiful...❤️🌍💋

[@shanegrim5421]

Then she sings the song from married with children.😂

[@paqui1018]

Anni-Frid Lyngstad was already a DIVA 💕✨

[@scorpioguy3234]

Frida will always be my favorite in my opinion as far as her beauty goes she is one of the rare beauty that seem to look older when they were younger and looks younger as she got older if that makes sense lol

[@gary15761]

Frida looked older young, and older when older

[@monmothma3358]

The fashion of the time had a lot to do with that...Women looked older in sixties fashion...

[@moow950]

She looks very old now though

[@leeferguson-pn2xz]

Aww FRIDA! Always my favorite one❤😍

[@dianeatkinson2015]

their voices together are just perfect

[@danbike9]

Frida has got tons more stuff pre-ABBA, live TV, live Radio. Opera stuff, jazz etc.... 1964 Major Best Vocalist award. 1967 National Best Vocalist Award. 1964 recording, The Anni-Frid Four, etc....

[@lauriechalker3458]

Yes, she's the most experienced of them all and the most versatile/diverse.

[@jamaliiiafshannn5345]

Annifreeda songs are very cool ,soothing , im feeling tranquility,

[@rcnelson]

Just goes to show that despite the appearance of ABBA appearing full-blown out of nowhere, its members paid their dues before hitting the big time.

[@zapkvr]

R C Nelson out of nowhere? Guess again Tubby. Eurovision 74 was friggin huge

Those obviously gay choire boys made me puke. Sorry

[@SC-jh9qp]

Frida singing Min Soldat is my favourite bit. Björn was engaging too and what great voices both Agnethas had.

The blonde was Agnetha sometimes called Anna, the brown haired girl was Anni-Frid also called Frida

[@eduardooscar309]

@@Sandra-yx6yp No, it's okay what he said They are the Agnethas is because the other is the one that appears singing in it 5:12 (with Björn only as an actor)

Such a rare glimpse of what we lost.

[@tubalcain1039]

You can say that again!

[@peopleofonefire9643]

You can see, why when I lived in Sweden during 1972 and 1973, I didn't watch much TV! Yes, I met Agnetha in June 1972, just before ABBA became ABBA. Back then, she had a gap between her front teeth and a broader nose.

[@Oldworker99]

The Sweden language is not for the MUSIC! May be to the military Marshes? But the Sweden 200 years not in the war! The RUSSIANS told them! And they were clever!

[@monmothma3358]

The Agnetha ones are from Jesus Christ Superstar, where she played Mary Magdalene. Kinda cool to see.

[@StatusQuonald]

These were two fine ladies! Björn 's solo stuff is hilarious, so bad xD

[@LeonAllanDavis]

I've always had my doubts about those two guys and after seeing this, my doubts have been confirmed. After it was all over they let Frida and Agnetha go way too easy.

[@elenawalczyk5927]

Thank you for these unique videos of early ABBA artists performances - very interesting ❤❤❤

[@jonathanboswell9696]

The "rehearsal" track and the one titled "I Templet" are from a show called "Jesus Christ Superstar," and Agnetha is singing a song called "I Don't Know How to Love Him" in the character of Mary Magdalene.

[@ianbowers1304]

Some pretty wild stuff here! And funny too. Never saw them before ABBA became famous. Jack from Pennsylvania.

[@dennyii5292]

It should be made clear that the clip at 5:10 features *Agnetha Munther* who was a Swedish singer and not to be confused with *Agnetha Fältskog* the singer in *ABBA* and one-time wife of *Björn Ulvaeus* .

[@Laceykat66]

Ya, I thought that was off a bit also.

[@dingting2559]

Thank goodness ABBA saved the world from Bjorn's solo career.

[@IThinkYouLookLarvely]

I was born the week People Need Love was released in Sweden (their first hit), and now work as "Benny" in an Abba tribute, but I've never seen most of these, thanks for posting. Frida's Baby Love was interesting without the swing beat and played straight (unlike the backing singers!)

[@uselessjoe]

with only about 6 million swedish talkers in the world, they had to branch out and sing in english. they performed some of their hits in german too, among other languages

[@ROMPJ]

Agnetha did the ABBA style. That what I think after viewing this.

[@BillAnt]

Yes, you can definitely hear the future ABBA sound in her crystal clear, note perfect voice.

[@geerterri]

Agnetha was already an established rock/pop singer by the time that she met Bjorn.

[@monmothma3358]

It was Andrew Lloyd Webber actually..

[@watchman1178]

That was a great rendition of the Jesus Christ, Superstar song. Agnetha always had the beautiful voice.

[@williamoverly1617]

@@geerterri Five years older than Agnetha, Frida had been a band singer, music video star, popular regular television personality and recording artist. She had also acted, modeled, made a film, studied voice under an opera singer and dance with a professional instructor. She was by far the most professionally experienced of the group.

[@groteabbafan]

Thanks for sharing 👍🏻

[@jeffkrong621]

Damn, I'm getting old for liking this :). But all joke aside, the music is fabulous, sincere, gentle and full of love and romanticism. Not like today's shit they call music.

[@perth45]

in the early days, just very European, VAGUE.....together, GENIUS....

[@BroccoliBeefed]

The women's solo recordings in those days didn't have such a marginalized sound as Bjorn. Bjorn sounds so.....hmmm Swedish here; It's still fun though to step back in time and outside the box and realize the miraculous change they went through. The same thing happened to Diana Ross and the Supremes. They sounded like !@#$ when they first started.

[@johnsain]

My favorite ABBA song.

[@AlexeBriand2002]

ledsith she released an album in 2013. then ABBA got back together for two new songs

[@TalkingP.J]

She was in a group called family four who would represent Eurovision in 1971 & 1972, she would leave the group in 75' to pursue another solo career, which didn't really take off ngl

Who would think that these people would go on to be so big? Yea, the voices are clear. But the arrangements are typical for the time. Nothing hinting at the sound that would be announced in the first few bars of Waterloo.

Someone had to think up that choreography, and then practice it!

[@ffggddss]

The "choreography" was already "thought up." This was just Anni-Fryd being Diana, and those two guys being Mary & Flo. Only, when the guys are supposed to be singing "Don't throw our love away," they're just singing some nonsense syllables or other. Fred

[@chelseacharger]

It's obviously meant to be a jokey Cabaret version since there weren't two other girls to be The Supremes. The guy on the right is Lennie Norman, the son of Charlie Norman whose show that was. On the excellent ABBA documentary 'When Four Became One' he says "She was in another league" and destined for bigger things. He was right. A better choice for an early TV appearance of hers would be the very first one in 1967. 'En Ledig Dag' is a stunning debut on a live TV show.

[@lauriechalker3458]

​@@chelseacharger yes you're right, she was outstanding on that show. When you think she knew nothing about having to perform live on tv after winning that competition and hadn't even rehearsed with the band plus it was the first time they'd played the tune too! She held her nerve and was faultless in her performance, yet still only 21!

Ha! Bjorn knew He'd never become a world wide superstar singing that hootenanny Swedish Yodel ;). None of these people were known outside Scandinavia before ABBA and before they started recording and performing in English. ABBA was quite the necessary vehicle to make them the worldwide superstars they became in the 1970s

[@ultimathule1000]
