Her voice is so beautiful!!!!!

[@Zinatra]

Here Frida was a Princess who turned out to be a QUEEN👑🎊🎇🎆🧨🎉🎊🎀❤😂❤❤❤❤

[@dennispobletemorales2651]

Frida’s voice had many surprises. That’s why Abba had a unique sound. Frida and Agnetha had many sources and posibilities. They gave us incredibles harmonies and hits

[@TangoEliott]

Frida is very versatile. Jazz, pop, rock, disco, standards, you name it. Her range is amazing. She was on the stage at age 13 but she turned into the performer you know from ABBA. But if you want to do yourself a favor listen to her Swedish album called Djupa andetag. It is a fabulous album.

[@PumaCandela]

Frida has been my favorite singer since the 70s. There is no one like her for me, she can convey feelings like nobody else. I agree with those who say Dupa Anditag, after ABBA, is amazing, so mature, so powerful.

[@danbike9]

Read about ABBA and learn about the workload of Frida on those ABBA songs. She was the groups pro vocalist and front and center performer entertainer. She has a keen keen ear and an enormous range. She also mastered diaphragmatic breathing. When the girls sang those high pitch unison chorus', it was Frida that did the heavy lifting. Agnetha was a pure soprano. Frida mezzo-soprano with huge range. Agnetha's middle voice was higher than Frida's middle voice, so Frida had the longer travel, while Agnetha stayed home. It was Frida's job to use her keen ear to match Agnetha. During those big unison high pitch chorus' Agnetha remained in her neighborhood, a pure soprano. Frida had to leave her neighborhood and over to Agnetha's neighborhood and with Frida's keen ear, she could match Agnetha. Over the decades Bjorn has explained that when Frida reaches Agnetha, she puts a edge on her voice and that is when that metallic sound happens when in high unison. ABBA: Bright Lights Dark Shadows The Real Story of ABBA By Carl Magnus Palm It took Stig Anderson/Polar Music a long time to secure Anni-Frid Lyngstad. The foursome lost Frida in 1971 after their cabaret shows winter of 70-71. In 1972, after a year and a lucrative deal contract, Frida accepted a solo Polar Music contract and agreed to rejoin the group. Once Frida committed, she was all in. Extremely hard worker and a known perfectionist.

[@chelseacharger]

Just to put this performance in some context and the overcoming of stress. She'd left home early that morning to drive the 70 miles to Stockholm on the very day Sweden switched to driving on the right hand side of the road. She then had to sing in a preliminary heat of the contest at the open air stage at Skansen around midday before returning for the finals in late afternoon/early evening. She won that. The winner was awarded the prospect of a recording contract. So she was happily thinking about going home before the host surprised her with 'No. You're also going to be on TV later'. She was then whisked across the city to STV studios to appear on this programme, 'Hylands Horna'. This was one of the most watched shows of the time and even more so for this special programme as the population was encouraged to stay indoors and not travel that day as the left-right traffic changeover was eased in. But what is most impressive about this is that it is completely unrehearsed. A longer film of this shows the two pianists looking at a piece of paper Frida had handed to them with the music arrangement. She's not even familiar with the different type of microphone used on TV or if she is allowed to take it off the stand. Early in the song, you will notice that twice she responds to someone signalling for her to lower the microphone a little. So totally unrehearsed, totally live and on her television debut. This is real 'seat of the pants' stuff But, although only 21 years old here, she was already a veteran of hundreds of live performances and her Jazz improvisation skills worked well with the combo behind her. What is also quite evident is that she was far happier singing than being interviewed. Holy Banana's indeed.

[@geordieboy8945]

[@danbike9]

Anni-Frid Lyngstad was ABBA's pro vocalist. She was actually overqualified for a pop group. Her background was American vocal standards, classical, jazz. Vocal idol: Ella Fitzgerald

[@danbike9]

Frida took the stage in 1956. Pro in 1958, age 13. In grade school her teachers identified her for her vocal skills, control and her keen ear. She was ABBA's pro vocalist and on stage pro.

[@willswomble7274]

Mesmerising vocals from an 'out of the blue', unrehearsed TV spot displaying her extraordinary range and control. How lucky we all are that this was kept for us all to enjoy, half a century on!

[@ANightworkerslife]

Fridas voice is truly unique and she masters so many styles including her own voice. A true vocalist! ❤️

[@danbike9]

It all started for Frida at age 7. She set a goal to become a successful singer and make her own way. By 1958, age 13 she turned pro, still underaged but hired anyway. She already had earned respect from music pro's.

[@guyinnyc1]

Understated, elegant, what a warm expressive voice. And spontaneous unrehearsed to boot. That's talent.

[@Pronzini1]

So happy you showed this. Frida has been an incredible performer for almost 60 years. She was the backbone of ABBA because she truly oved to be on stage. She is beautiful, talented, and a really fine person too.

[@SimplyTim_UK]

Frida and Agnetha were established artists before ABBA and that shows in the quality of early ABBA music.

Frida doesn't talk, she whispers in the interview

[@lionheartroar3104]

The quality shows in the whole Abba library.

[@brunagomes2981]

[@danbike9]

Frida was identified in grade school for her vocal skills and her keen ear. Stage at age 10, 1956. Pro 1958, age 13. Swept all the talent hunts. Won best vocalist awards as child, pre-teen, teen and adult. 1963-1967: Anni-Frid Four, Anni-Frid & Gunnar Trio National best vocalist in 1964. 1967 National Best Vocalist. 1967-72: EMI Sweden, TV Shows, modeling, radio shows, touring, 1969- met Benny 1972 - ABBA.

Thank you for this! a beautiful young Frida and her voice is amazing!!! and that's all really live! Yes take a look at Agentha's swedish albums (she also wrote the songs), and Frida's swedish Album "Frida Ensam" with Fernando in swedish, produced by Benny, a masterpiece, ...and Frida after ABBA the album called "Djupa Andetag" also a masterpiece, Frida forever!!!

Well I'm glad I've seen and heard her now! Wow! What a surprise! What a princess Annifrida is💖💜💝❤

[@Cristian-iv6st]

Frida's voice is soooo rich, You can't imagine how many times you hear her voice in Abba's chorus and may think it's Agnetha when is really Frida.

[@camilaailenfarias8625]

That's so true!!!

[@ИринаБондаренко-щ7ч]

Я всегда думала, почему я слышу больше Фриду, чем Агнету, особенно в припевах и общих песнях. Насколько мощный голос и вокальный диапазон. Голос некрикливый, теплый, бархатный, дымный. Какое счастье, что она попала в АББА.

[@janahcoaching]

Frida had her first child at 17. At 22 she had 2 kids and was married. She already was in a band at 13-14. She was always naturally elegant, so chic with an exquisite voice. She is so talented.

[@TangoEliott]

If you really, really, want to hear a great Frida album you need to listen to, for your own pleasure, Dupa andetag. She won't disappoint you. She is very versatile.

[@moniqueacebal-vankleinwee8222]

Thank you so much for listening to Frida 🥰

[@roderickwilliams-young]

From seeing that no wonder worldwide recognition for her talent was just a matter of time.

[@nielsulriksrensen9818]

This is a very moving performance from the orphan girl, who had to escape Norway after the war with her grandmother, here in the middle of a potentially life transforming experience. Only 21 and already a mother of two and a very mature singer. Still, it's very interesting to see how she developed as a singer after this, which becomes very obvious when looking at a live solo performance from another Swedish tv show from 1981, where she did an amazing rendition of Pat Benetar's 'Fire and Ice'. At that point she had come out of her shy shell and was a full-blow singer and performer: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bImwnGmiopmjh8k

[@opicatchu2164]

What a voice 😍😍😍😍

[@paulecrosby2006]

She is a super talented beautiful lady. ♥

[@nielsulriksrensen9818]

By the way: 'Ett liv i solen' from Frida's second solo album, 'Frida Ensam', from 1975. Frida acapella all by her self in the beginning, and then a soaring chorus. Perhaps one of the most beautiful solo efforts from any of the ABBAs.

[@Urfinchannel]

She was able to sing those high Sirene background vocals in ,,the day before you came,, so many years later👏🏻

[@jasonbutt6049]

Verry Beautiful Song and Lady.

[@danbike9]

In 1971 she left the foursome after their cabaret shows. It took Stig Andersson a year to get her back. Stig wanted her bad, and he gave her a sweet deal if she would come back. Part of the deal was a solo contract, which she signed after her EMI Sweden deal 1967-1972 was fulfilled. Stig viewed her as the full package: looks, body, vocal skills, stage, theater, TV, modeling, etc ... and if the foursome failed she was gonna front the band alone.

[@BadMoonandStars]

Frida was friends with Marie Fredriksson from Roxette and there is a song they did together called Alla mina bästa år (all my best years). There seems to be various versions on KZbin but you can get the official one on the Frida - Topic channel... No video official video though sadly.

[@pepbelone]

Frida was born in 1945 so, if this is 1967... she was 22! Married and with two children... and a talented singer! Wow!!!

[@dreasbn]

not yet, she would celebrate her 22nd birthday on November 15th that year, so here she was still 21

[@pepbelone]

[@ynoylucita3925]

Anni-Frid is versatile singer. Gorgeous lady too.❤️😍💕

[@synchronicityman9062]

This is truly stunning in someone so young. As you rightly point out, Dereck, she is quite shy and uncomfortable talking about her private life here, but is truly at home when she starts singing. Frida had a very difficult, troubled childhood and sought escape in her music. She gravitated to jazz at an early age, leading a dance band when she was still just in her teens. The band leader said he knew even then that she was destined to go far. At some stage it would be wonderful if you would react to her 1996 'comeback' single 'Aven En Blomma' which has a wonderful, classy video which is very befitting for the real life princess she had become: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aoS1aXyteJ1nndk

[@guyinnyc1]

I second that. Aven en blomma is a classic timeless performance. The whole album s a masterpiece. Wish she did more...

[@josasjosas]

So nice seeing you reacting to this old one by Frida. She sure had a great vocal range and very clear voice as well. Good to watch the both of you :)

She had a background in cabaret and jazz style singing. This is where she shines. Wish there would have been more jazzy style songs in Abba's work.

[@Nicollaos]

That song is Bossa Nova style. In the 60s there was this short wave of "Brazilian Jazz"

[@michaeli7380]

She sang Andente Andente at 70 beautiful...and a song called the Sun will shine again getting over the death of the husband,will cry and cry..thank you

[@Emmenem68]

Dereck, you are a star for reacting to this, Frida's first television performance from 1967. As someone already mentioned, her appearance on TV was a surprise for her, after winning a talent competition that same day. So it was completely improvised but she still gave a confident performance of her winning song. So much talent and class. Her high adlibs at the end of the song are phenomenal. Try "To Turn The Stone", a majestic track from Frida's first international solo album: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5impKeOiKytbpY. This video is actually the edited single version. The album version is 5:25 long. The track was in fact recorded first by Donna Summer for a 1981 album but that Donna Summer album was shelved at the time and remained unreleased until 1996, 15(!) years later.

[@awiealex5448]

Frida sings the Leadvocals in more ABBA Songs like "One Man, One Woman" (1977), "The King Has Lost His Crown" (1979), "Gonna Sing You My Lovesong" (1974), "Tropical Loveland" (1975), ...

[@nielsulriksrensen9818]

And not least: 'Our Last Summer', one of her greatest!

[@tikku123]

This was a song competition that she won - she said it wasn’t a friendly competition/ she said her occupation was she was married with 2 children - she was born Nov 15, 1945 / I speak some Swedish - she said other things - thanks so much for diving into the solo carriers of Abba - Frida had a career in jazz before Abba - her Swedish version of Fernando is stunning !!! - kindness at u mate from the land of Oz!!

[@whenindoubt1000]

I love this performance. She went on to lead her own and quite popular jazz/popular standards band. She was a performance artist which explains why she was the one who was most positive when it came to ABBA touring. Agnetha was a recording artist so she was well known success, and she sang more popular style. Her comfort zone in ABBA was in the studio and she could also be at home. What were the chances that they would become the perfect duo?

[@carlhenderson9483]

Derek, i met both Agnetha and Frida, Frida she released something going on in 1982 and Agnetha with wrap your eyes around me in 1983 both in London, both stunning looking women, but more importantly stunning voices

[@Lisa-M]

And then some people say she can't sing high notes. You should definitely react to "Ett Liv I Solen", another great Frida-Song. :-)

2 years before she met Benny

[@gareth3152]

I like the singing style back then. No vocal gymnastics. You can just relax and enjoy a professional do her thing.

[@danbike9]

Check her Pat Benatar, Fire & Ice. LIVE in 1981. She was MCing a concert event and sang lots of covers too include the Beatles.

[@GeraldoJose]

Perfect Bossa Nova singer. The song is totally Bossa Nova.

[@Flatwoodsdad]

Thank's for sharing. She's such a sweetheart. If I remember right this was kinda off the cuff after the contest. When I see her pre ABBA clips I always think of her line "Independent and free, And ambitious, that's me" from "I Am An A". She loved to perform and really seemed to need the spotlight, well at least for most of ABBA. Anytime you want to do pre or post ABBA stuff by the girls I'm up for it. Also stuff from Benny's "Piano" album or clips of his "Benny Anderssons orkester" doing ABBA is fun too.

[@awiealex5448]

There is a lot of more Frida Stuff you can react to: Like "To Turn The Stone" (1982), "Here We'll Stay" feat. Phil Collins (1982), "Here We'll Stay (Solo Version)" (1983), "Heart Of The Country" (1984), "Twist In The Dark" (1984) and "Även En Blomma" (1996).

[@selina5598]

[@dreasbn]

the mentioned song two years later was an entry for the swedish preselection for Eurovision1969, like ABBA did in 1973 and 1974.... her real commercial success only came after Benny produced her song "Min egen stad" in 1970 oder 71... Up to then she had been very much into Jazz and not such much Pop.. So Benny being a Rocker and she being a Jazz singer was musically unlike match, but Benny compositions turned Frida to the best singer she could possibly be. Listen to "Gonna Sing You My Lovesong" from ABBA's Waterloo album in 1974. Great ballad. Frida and Benny became parents very very very early. Frida gave birth to her first born in 1963 at the age of 17 and to her daughter in early 1967, age 21. Benny became a father at the age of 16 for the first time and at the age of 18 for the second time. They never had a child together, but Benny became a father once more in 1982 with his current wife Mona.

[@creatinotionchannel2680]

Never watched this. I am used to hearing her do the opera stuff but wow not this - Mariah Carey level stuff. What a range!

[@Smgs-ue7tj]

Thank you so much, Dereck!!

[@FrankHerfjord]

you need to check out her 1975 covers album "ensam". Particularly "som en sparv" and "ett liv i solen". And the original, swedish version of "Fernando" has completely differrent lyrics as well as a superior, massive production.

[@SiSlimbo]

Thanks for this, Dereck!! It was a nice suprise to see this video and it's lovely of you to be so responsive to your subscribers' suggestions!! Frida has a more surprising vocal and tonal range than many singers...and allows the song to do the talking. No showing off. Agnetha's voice is distinctive and crystal clear, though her solo stuff perhaps doesn't surprise the way Frida's does? Benny and Bjorn called Frida's voice an 'instrument', while Agnetha they said was the great 'interpreter of songs'. I get what they mean, and I don't think Frida sounds the same from one ABBA record to another, but Agnetha can do amazing things too. Gotta love those girls. Try 'Can't Shake Loose' by Agnetha...I think her biggest US solo hit? xxx

[@Emmenem68]

Dereck already reacted to Agnetha's "Can't Shake Loose": kzbin.info/www/bejne/eF6Zn6x8qbV6qrc. Indeed her biggest (and only) US solo hit. Its rockier sound was probably more suitable for the US market than the calypso-flavoured "The Heat Is On" which was the big hit single from the album in most other territories.

[@SiSlimbo]

@@Emmenem68 Thank you for that link! I'm embarrassed that I didn't realise Dereck had already done that one. 😳 You have good ABBA and Dereck knowledge!

[@BestForeverMusic]

I've already come to terms with the fact that Dereck belongs to the Frida Fan club group, so many Agnetha fans are asking for a reaction to her .... and still Frida is the last Frida because he is biased. That's why he doesn't like to react to Agnetha, either in ABBA or in his solo career, because he couldn't even praise her enough, he always evaluates Agnetha very economically, Frida is still in superlatives and that's unfair ... I'm not alone in thinking that. ..

[@SiSlimbo]

@@BestForeverMusic I think Dereck was more into Agnetha before...I'm sure I've heard him say, once, he was an 'Anna fan', so maybe he is learning to appreciate them both and making it seem he's biased towards Frida at the moment? As we all know, all of ABBA are fantastic, in different ways!

[@jamesbachmann7376]

Frida delt more in the jazz genre for a while and would be the front singer for a few jazz, cabaret bands before meeting Benny Anderson. Frida credits Benny for introducing her to modern rock and pop styles. Her reluctance to talk about her children probably has to do more with her wrestling with wanting to pursue a career and knowing she was probably going to have to leave them behind in order to do so. She was a young wife and mother and it was a big step to think beyond a few contests. Her career at that time, would mean alot of travelling around Sweden, usually by bus. As her career took off, she left her children with her husband, who she would end up divorcing by the late 60s.

[@paulsparks7035]

You really need to she her doing Andante Andante at 70.

[@123billydog]

Love this performance and its interesting to observe how many tones and keys Frida hits. Although she never had any really big hits as a solo artist until she the early 70's when she began working with Benny, for me this perfomance shows how she could sing at so many different ranges. During the ABBA years she had to sing a lot higher to reach up to Agnethas' soprano ranges, while Agnetha in turn with sing lower to reach the depths of Frida's mezzo-saprano ranges. Because they were able to do that its sometimes hard to tell which woman is singing what. A lot just associate Frida's 'ABBA Voice' with the depths of Fernando, Super Trouper or Knowing Me Knowing You but believe me, its both girls together in unison much more on the big ABBA hits than most imagine.

No question Frida has talent and chops. Her delivery on this song is so smooth and languid...like honey in warm milk. In all fairness could you take a look at something similar by Agnetha? She appeared on a Swedish TV when she was 25 and performed 2 songs she had co-written herself. What I love about this video is how it shows how absolutely fresh faced and charming she was before the ABBA years taught her to be defensive and on guard. Here you can see her both bold and bashful....the lip bite and wrinkled nose are so adorable....who can help falling in love with her on the spot? At times her voice is slightly off key but her performance somehow exceed the sum of its parts. Please watch and you will be truly touched by the sunshine and warmth that radiate from her:).

[@tatamoniquelaginette7992]

She was 22

[@flemmingkristoffersen1896]

In my opinion Frida is a way better singer than Agnatha. Her range and ability to be versatile in her interpretations are so much more interesting than Agnetha´s! Not that Agnetha isn´t a grat singer - but Frida is so much more interesting! Try to react to some of her later solo music - "Även en Blomma" from her swedish solo album Djupa Andetag (1996) or "Shine" from her solo album "Shine" from 1984! So different in style and sound - but both great examples of Fridas fab voice!

[@knitinsolitude4979]

I agree. I guess Shine, the song and the whole album, will be another eye, or better ear opener, for Dereck ;)

[@otisblack3921]

Please, be fair.....In all actuality I think Agnetha had more versatility in her voice. Listen to her on the beginning of Name if the Game, Head Over Heels,

[@otisblack3921]

Oh please!! Be fair, Agnetha has dozens of voices that show her versatility.....compare her sound from these various songs: Name of the Game, The Day Before You Came, Slipping Through My Fingers, Head Over Heels, Doktorn, Mr Persuasion, The Winner Takes It All, Lay All Your Love on Me, Hasta Manana, etc.....each song she shows a completely different delivery. Vibrato on demand, sonic purity, whispered delivery....the girl could sing. Where I will give Frida props is with her classical training. She shows a greater knowledge of technical training. Agnetha’s talent is more organic. She copied the voices she heard over the years and added her own spin to them. In the end, I will put up “Sometimes When I’m Dreaming” against anything Frida has ever recorded. That song is Agnetha’s penultimate tour de force and should put any and all arguments to rest about her talent

[@EnzFab73]

Lawd. Always on queue to diminish the versatile blonde from the group. Agnetha was versatile which is why a music critic stated she was able to mimic many styles. Listen to any of her swedish albums from the 70's or her renditions of songs from Jesus Christ Superstar (her swedish version of I Don't Know How to Love Him is one of the best on record) or the Doris Day version of Thank-You for the Music. Frida admitted Ags was the soprano of the group who had a much "higher" voice to her mezzo-soprano which is why Ags solo work on ABBA were always in a higher key. No need to diminish one to elevate the other. You can easily make the case for Frida without diminishing Agnetha. Not to mention all female singers can utilize their head voice on high notes, there aren't that many who can belt out a high B using chest/mixed voice like Ags does in Hole in Your Soul on record and live.

[@anthonyrogers4137]

Oh no! Please! No more Agnetha vs Frida negativity (that's very '2013'). *Both* are good. We can even be grown-up (like most of the commenters in these posts), by saying good points about Frida separately, and good points about Frida separately. And even liking one or the other more. There's nothing wrong with that. But, *please*... no more puerile negativite tongue-poking-out comments. Be respectful to both of these wonderful women who've *both* contributed to millions of peoples happiness through their craft.

Fabulous what a shame this register was released in Abba! Both women are amazing singers.

Can see someone tell her to move the mic away from her mouth at 5:50

You should do some of Agnetha's earlier Swedish tracks. Many are quite lovely. Her "Vart Ska Min Karlek Fora" from Jesus Chris Superstar is divine. And the Swedish version of "Disillusion" which she wrote the music for, titled "Mina Ogen" is superior to the ABBA version vocally (it was recorded 2 years after the ABBA version for her 1975 solo album).

Oh wow. Check out Agnetha's very first self-written song called "jag var sa kar", she wrote it when she was 17 :)
