Someone will fill in the details , but the dark haired one had a solo career in Sweden in the late 1960s Benny and the Blonde in a Swedish Folk group, they all met up and went to write an entry for the Swedish Song For Europe Contest, where they came 2nd, not Good Enough. Somehow they met Neil Sedaka and for the following year came up with 'Ring . Ring' which was still unsuccessful as the Swedish panel preferred the folky type stuff, back the year after with Waterloo, which one and became the Swedish Eurovision Entry. The song and the performance blew the audience and europe away and ABBA hit the worldwide stage, Ring, Ring was re-done and issued as the second single and then the new hits went on. They had basically own publishing - Polar and licenced out world wide through CBS, becoming in Value terms only beaten by Volvo Trucks and Cars for the highest earnings year after year into the Swedish Economy.

@@jonaselfstrand4327 I saw an interview with the producers of the stage show Mamma Mia. They said it is actually the harmonies that are secret sauce for the band. Apparently ( I am no singer) they are far more complex than they sound, and really hard to replicate. And one of the reasons when performing live it was nothing for them to have up to 6 backing singers to fill the harmonies out live.

Most songlyrics is by Björn (Bjoern) and the tones and arrangement mostly Bennys. They are as good as Lennon-McCartney-productions. But as Benny and Björn said in interviews.; Nobody thought that pop music could come from Sweden. Many inventions, not only in music, but technology, in the world are born in the old country Sweden. I'm born in Sweden in the mid 40-ies too like Frida , Benny and Björn and listened to them for nearly 60 years. Agneta is born 1950. They are not newcomers in music at all. Benny played in The Hep Stars, Björn in Hootenanny Singers and the girls were vocalists in separate dance bands. Anni-Frid started as a 14-year old girl singinging mostly jazz. Agnetha (Ang-neta) has besides her singing in a band made solo records with her own music and lyrics. But suddenly they all met in the late 60-ies and became ABBA 1972

[@Iae86]

As a Swede I would love to agree. But Paul McCartney is GOAT.

OK, I'll try to answer your question: musically, I think ABBA's "S.O.S." is Benny telling us everything he thinks about J.S. Bach. I think it's an example of mid-1970s "monster-rock Baroque," possibly influenced by Wenday Carlos's album of synthesizer Bach, "Switched-On Bach" (1968). Boston's first album is also mid-1970s and shows comparable enthusiasm for Bach ("Foreplay/Long Time"). I loved your comparison of Agnetha and Karen Carpenter. I had not connected those two dots! Yes, both of them combined extremely moving emotionality of performance with great technique, flawless technique. It was great seeing you react so appropriately and naturally to the intoxicating refrain of "S.O.S." Thank you for your video.

Sweden is huge in the music entertainment industry. It's one of the top countries with most musical exports. Abba was early but also artists like Icona pop, Zara Larsson, Roxette, Robyn, Ace of base, Europe, Cardingans and Avicii are some of the big musical exports from Sweden. But it's also in the production of music. Some trivia: in may of 2012, half of the top ten songs on Billboard Hot 100 were written or produced by Swedes. More trivia: the Swedish songwriter and producer Max Martin have had over 73 US Billbord Hot 100 top 10 hits (including at least 22 which reached no 1). Sweden have had a big impact on the international (and american) hit scene. Here are some famous tracks written, co-written and/or produced by Swedes: - Baby one more time / Toxic / Piece of me (Britney Spears) - Bye bye bye ('Nsync) - Starships (Nicki Minaj) - Since U been gone / Stronger (Kelly Clarkson) - So what, Raise your glass (Pink) - Poker face, Just Dance, Stupid love (Lady Gaga) - On the floor (Jennifer Lopez) - I kissed a girl, Waking up in Vegas, Roar (Katy Perry) - Rain over me (Pitbull) - It's my life (Bon Jovi) - I want it that way / Shape of my hart / As long as you love me (Backstreet boys) - Can't stop this feeling (Justin Timberlake) - We are never ever getting back together / I knew you were trouble / Shake it off (Taylor Swift) - I dont care (Ed Sheeran, Justin Bieber)

Henning Andersson, «musical exports». Det er vel derfor du ikke nevner Ted Gardestad. De fleste tekstene hans er vel svenske. Men musikken hans burde holde også nternasjonalt. Morsomt å lese coveret til plata «Ted» fra 1973, tror jeg, der hele ABBA-kvartetten nevnes som studiomusikere. Musikken til Ted fungerer bra også for meg, en pensjonert kirkemusiker fra Norge.

To give you a picture of how awsome this group was, you have to imagine that Abba found their way up to stardum at a time when Pink Floyd were at their best, and so were the Bee Gees, AC/DC, Led Zeppelin and many others. In the 70's, even singers like Bob Dylan made a strong come back. Elton John was at the summum of his art. So for a swedish group (a first in the music world) to find their way and succeed amongst so many celebrities, that was a...miracle really, but they did it.

ABBA are immensely talented, the song writing and compositions is second to none. I say ABBA 'are' immensely talented as they began writing more songs back in 2018, the first material they have collaborated on as a group since 1982. They have not released anything yet as there was an Avatar tour planned which Covid obviously impacted on, I also heard there some legal are aspects that needed ironing out too. Nonetheless, it's believed they've written 5-8 new tracks, enough for a new album. There's plenty of tracks you'll want to listen to, pretty much everything they wrote was fantastic. Personally, I cannot wait for their new material as I grew up loving ABBA in the 70's - Enjoy the ride bro!

In Sweden Abba was like a "supergroup". They were all famous individually since mid, late 60s. Björn and Benny were in two of the most popular groups. They became friends and started writing together making an album with mostly Björn singing and also producing lots of other artists. Björn had met Agneta and Benny met Frida. The girls started helping them with backing vocals. And after a while they realised who should do most of the singing.

[@eduardooscar309]

An additional comment, in this case about the blonde singer Agnetha Fãltskog who has impacted you a lot One of the distinctive characteristics of ABBA is the central role of its two outstanding female vocalists (beautiful and attractive as well) Anni Frid (Frida) Lyngstad has a mezzo soprano voice, is distinguished in the lower tones, she is the happiest on stage and is more ductile for dance and choreography Agnetha Fãltskog, the youngest of the group, has a soprano voice, she stands out in the high tones and the power of her voice, she is more ductile to act and interpret the lyrics, and her face reflects more emotions Agnetha sings, acts and performs in every song; and "S.O.S." It is one of her best performances as a leading voice. Her emotional tone on the verge of tears together with the dramatic introduction to the piano is one of the most praised characteristics in this fantastic song. There are a variety of songs that have Agnetha as her leading and emotional voice. You already saw her on “S.O.S.” and "Chiquitita"; and I can suggest others: I've been waiting for you My love My life Thank you for the music The winner takes it all Slepping through my fingers (of the five there are videos for you to listen to her and at the same time see her in her gestures and expressions) In my personal opinion, Agnetha Fãltskog is together with Karen Carpenters the female voice that I enjoy the most, one of the most extraordinary privileged and beautiful

Yeah I know, It's hard not to fall in love with one of two ladies. Two natural beauties. I've always been more inclined towards Agnetha. It's impossible to resist that smile of hers. You mentioned the choreography. Unlike today's "singers", these two ladies didn't have to rely on the choreography. They let their angelic voices speak instead. Because to me, and I think many in this comment section will agree with me about this. These two singers are among the greatest female vocalists of all time. And they seldom get any credit for this. Because autotune didn't exist in the 70's.

So Glad to see you again, this time with my favorite ABBA song "S.O.S." has a story It was one of his first recordings after the success of Waterloo, just four months later. But it waited a year for its release Waterloo needed another theme to confirm the trend and it was not an isolated success or a stroke of luck ABBA's next three elections failed to stand out Until finally "S.O.S." have your chance to be a single, and broke the drought, reaching #6 in the U.K. and #15 in the U.S. being their second hit in both countries at the same time and six #1 and more Top 10 in several countries of all continents "S.O.S." in less than 200 seconds is a gem, a masterpiece! The transitions from the dramatic opening (a dingy piano and a cracking Agnetha voice) to a powerful rock beat and catchy chorus are brilliant. The video is from a presentation in Norway, when ABBA was looking for that second success The girls' costumes are the iconic blue and gold cat dresses (the colors of Sweden) ABBA marked an era in many ways One was the musical leadership of its beautiful and lofty female vocalists as the center of attention Another was the use of contrasts, such as sad lyrics with catchy melodies and harmonies And their recording tecnique "wall of sound" gives ABBA more powerfull ABBA, as in its time BEATLES, left an unforgettable mark on several generations It is good music that lasts and stays alive and well. Thank you very much for your videos, your sympathy and your love for good music See you in another video Best regards from Buenos Aires, Argentina

S.O.S. was a favorite that was played at the local skating rink. Camden, SC, USA And I think both ladies are equally talented and beautiful.

The ABBA musical history is amazing in addition to their personal stories.

A Chef d'Oeuvre.

Bro, I just found your channel and I love your reaction to ABBA. They take a special place in my heart and are directly connected to my most tender memories of my mom and my aunt. They loved ABBA and they were the soundtrack of her loves and heartbreakings. My aunt tells me that at age of five, born in Brazil, I could sing every one of their songs perfectly even without speaking English or knowing the meaning. SOS is one of my top 5 ABBA songs. I love the drama the piano brings. And Agnetha’s voice is like listening to an angel.

ABBA has put out a new album this year that old songs and new written songs by Benny. Check it out ABBA fans. My favorite is Waterloo and then Dancing Queen.

[@marcodebrabander5751]

They can touch you like no other. After all those years of intense listening it keeps doing that. You discover more and more in the mostley very complex arrangement and production in time. Specially the latter work. Besides that it is so innocent and soothing lol

[@grahamarthur]

This is the best reaction I have ever watched. So insightful.

[@FortWorthFabian]

WOW thanks so much

[@steffichristina8169]

Richtig, er ist so süß und smart und super sympathisch!🥰😍

[@marje8249]

They were, and still are, so wonderful. As you said, captivating. What a great reaction to a beautiful song 😊

[@FortWorthFabian]

Thank you so much!

ABBA is one of the greatest pop groups of all time if not the greatest. For anyone to call themselves music fan and not knowing them is just insulting. Welcome to the club, bro!

[@magnusmagnolius]

Yeah! Who isn't? I've been in love with her since I was a kid and met her a few times (her parents lived in my neighbourhood in Jönköping in Sweden). 57 years old I still got a crush on her. Still got her on a poster in one of my rooms:-)

[@SD-mw1hz]

Music from these earlier decades was so pure, not all the technical manipulation like today, pure voice, pure instruments and sung with feeling and emotion. You can be a fantastic singer vocally but if you cannot move people or have an expressionless face you will never make t.

[@SA-oy9pn]

OMG Agnetha I love her profile . Those beautiful eyes and long eyelashes . I will never forget my brothers reaction when he first caught a glimpse of her ...... Wow what a (Bleep) Babe

[@h8rraider227]

ABBA sold over 450 million albums -7 studio albums from 1973 to 1981 -they were only active from 72-82 but created mega-hits. long live abba!!

[@twosuns2504]

As much as you think Agnetha is so comfortable looking up there, being angelic and smiling with her beautiful expressions. She was extremely nervous as well. Frida is a natural. If you look closely you can catch Agnetha looking so freaking cute biting her lower lip from time to time. Just makes me crush even more for her. Guys , she's still beautiful at 71 ❤️

[@jeffkharpoharpo3472]

My girt friend is from Sweden and she is a Beautiful woman! just as Beautiful as Agnetha Fältskog She had to go back to Sweden because her parents passed away! I will be with her one day! Hopefully in America my first love I have responsibilities here in America! If you get a chance go to Sweden and check it out ! some of the nicest people on earth ! Great reactions

[@Congaman41]

Love ur reaction and ur open mind! Its awsome new generations discover ABBA. For me it happed with SOS when I was around 10 years old, now Im close to 60. Once ABBA hits u it stays.

[@aimandjulian3195]

Back in 1974 -75 my dad had an electrical shop and he also sold records out of it , when this song came out every person that Came though the door wanted to buy an abba record. I remember every time i herd the song i felt like i had been transported to another world, my heart skipped a beat and i got a lump in my throat.

[@bobbyscott5162]

Yes Agnetha is Beautiful. She though is an introvert were Frida is an extrovert. This is Pop Rock with a orchestral flair. This song reached number 6 on the Hot 100

[@johnravert2377]

I feel you dude. When you say you're in love. Have loved her since the 70's, and it won't stop. GREAT reviews...keep em coming!

[@VadersRage]

"I think I'm in love with her." Heh heh......yep. That's pretty much what my 9 year old self said when I first heard this. Those harmonies are legendary.
