Agnetha was so beautiful and blessed with an angelic voice, she had it all, they both did. Thank God ABBA existed.

[@mountain262]

Her facial expressios are so dynamic it makes it seem like she is singing directly to you

[@gardenparty1000]

What’s missing from your commentary is that this is one of the most tender ‘Goodbyes’ ever written, arguably. Losing love. So powerful. There’s a caress, many tears, the final goodbye kiss. That painful slide guitar, and the descending bells at the end offering finality. So beautifully arranged and the gentle Soprano creates such a special delivery .. and from the 70s too. Timeless. Gorgeous.❤

[@eduardomolli5860]

[@Mingus8]

The vocal range, the bass, the dynamics... OMG A m a z i n g

[@andrewmcdonald6987]

Agnetha has a pitch perfect voice.

[@celestial-on-high251]

Agnetha's voice has not aged at all over the years! Still sounds youthful. She did a live duet with Gary Barlow (post ABBA) and she sounds like a young girl. True talent and one of the best voices out there - even though she's now in her 70s. It's one thing to have a great voice but it's quite a task to maintain it. Whitney lost hers, Donna Summer too - she sounded more husky in her later records. Glad to see Agnetha is still going strong.

[@KCoda1248]

One of my favorite Abba tunes! It’s so pretty yet melancholy. Nice harmonies/counterparts. She has a lovely voice.

[@eduardooscar309]

What a beautiful surprise! how good that You came to this special song with a special video, to your first reaction to ABBA songs remember that ABBA is a swedish pop group between 1972/1982, that in 2018 return at studio to recording two songs (released two weeks ago, today in UK Charts #9 & #14) and finally complete a new álbum that will be released in next November 2021 ABBA is an acronim with initials of first names, and in the begining was two couples: A Agnetha (blonde singer, 1950) B Björn (guitarist songwriter, 1945) B Benny (keyboard songwriter, 1946) A Anni Frid (brunette singer, 1945) "My love My life" (1976) in my opinion is the best ABBA ballad although these lyrics are sad, farewell, heartbroken It is a beautiful melody in an almost symphonic tone and Agnetha's voice rises to superlative levels very well accompanied in the choirs but She takes all the leadership and finishes with a powerful record Her ex husband, the guitarist songwriter Björn, said that in these song could see the power ranger of Agnetha's soprano voice in my opinion it is one of the seven best vocal interpretations of Her: S.O.S. I've been waiting for you My love My life Thank you for the music Chiquitita The winner takes it all Slepping through my fingers (I said that all these are the 'Seven Wonders of Agnetha' hahaha) the video is very special I think it's the only one in which a single ABBA member stars from begin to finish, and that's Agnetha (the vídeo is part of a Special TV, Agnetha appears alone but the recording is with all ABBA members) so She can be seen in the close-ups of Her gestures and emotions, She is absolutely beautiful in this context

[@ollier67]

Probably one of the saddest break up songs ever made. Agnetha knocks it out of the park with that performance.

[@barbarasison811]

That is until "The Winner Takes It All" came along.

[@tjsogmc]

@@barbarasison811 that could be argued naturally. I think of "Winner" as a lament for a lost relationship and acceptance of the reality, whereas "My Love" is a heartbreak happening in real time before all hope is lost. Both are sad songs to be sure.

[@kirsitikander9740]

I love Abba as I love the Bee Gees. More Abba please

[@janicetrimmell6897]

Very nice. ABBA was everywhere in the 70's and I think I just took them for granted. After the film Mamma Mia (first one in 2008) came out it renewed by interest.

[@calvinmurty8273]

About the “roles” of each member of ABBA, the two men were (actually I should say “are” as they just reunited with new songs and a new album in Nov 2021) the songwriters, arrangers and producers for the group. Benny is the main composer of the music with much input from Bjorn, and Bjorn is the lyricist. Benny plays all the keyboards while Bjorn plays guitars on some of the tracks. Earlier on, the guys would have lead vocals on certain songs but as time went by, the lead vocals were largely handled by Agnetha and Anni-Frid (Frida). Bjorn would have solo songs in their 1976, 1979 and 1981 albums. All four would contribute to background vocals. Agnetha and Frida would each have a few solo songs per album. For example, in the Arrival album from which this song is from, Agnetha sang lead on When I Kissed The Teacher, My Love, My Life, while Frida sang lead on Knowing Me, Knowing You and Money x3. They had joint lead vocals on Dancing Queen, Dum Dum Diddle, That’s Me and Tiger. Bjorn did lead on Why Did It Have To Be Me. Arrival is an instrumental but they sang some vocalisations on it. Should one of them sing lead, it would usually be the case that all or most of the others would join in during the chorus with those amazing harmonies. If you want songs with more “vocal participation” from the other members, try: The Name of the Game (one of their most complex and beautiful songs) Hole in Your Soul Eagle The Piper He is Your Brother (early ABBA). Their entire output is outstanding. In fact, their non hits/album cuts are really very good and on par with many of the hit songs they are famous for. They worked with the Bee Gees in the UNICEF concert in 1979. They expressed great admiration for the Brothers Gibb’s work. Bjorn went on record saying he wished he composed their songs on Saturday Night Fever soundtrack, and their song Summernight City was inspired by the Bee Gees’ disco music. They were even admired by the Carpenters. After meeting them and hearing them perform Thank You For the Music, Karen performed that song live on a talk show in USA. Now they’ve just released two new songs that show that in spite of their ages which range from 71 to 76, they still have the skills and talent to produce amazing music!!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@christianoazzuro6711]

Hi Calvin.I read somewhere that The Gibb brothers wanted Abba to record theIr SNF track "IF I CANT HAVE YOU"that Yvone Eliman recorded for the mythical soundtrack (Nr1single also inthe USA).Unfortunately it didnt happen.Possibly because Abba had strict rules to record their own kind of music.Both groups were the top spot then everywhere in the musicverse.But yes the boys had a huge apreciation to them and vice versa.Benny and Bjorn admitted that all the "Voulez vous"era-including the "SNCity"single that was preceded- was Bee Gees influenced.Agnetha also was a huge fan she said it during a 1979 bbc radio interview while doing promotion to this album.

[@calvinmurty8273]

@@christianoazzuro6711 Hi Christianio - yes, I read about that too. I recall that Agnetha, when considering producers for her post-Abba career, wanted Barry Gibb as she was very taken by his work with Barbra Streisand. But as she was reluctant to fly to the US during that period, she had to settle for someone else. I’m sure you are also aware that two-thirds of the Bee Gees were the ones to give the citation when ABBA were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2010 (Benny and Frida were present to accept the award and give their acceptance speeches). That was really wonderful!

One of my favorite ABBA songs of all time. If you didnt know they recently reformed and just released 2 new songs after being gone for nearly 40 years. Amazing talent by all 4 members. Thanks for featuring them. There are so many great songs besides just the hits.

[@nietmijnprobleem]

they released a whole new album with 10 new songs.

[@craigmeadows3542]

Agnetha was featured in several solo’s while with ABBA. Frida also had her solos as well. The blend of their two voices together was somewhat of a miracle because of the beauty of their individual vocal tone and perfect harmony. Agnetha clearly had the voice of an angel. ABBA’s music continues to be timeless and they are as popular today as they were in the 70’s and early 80’s. They are the only band that could pull off a continuous running show in London featuring ABBATARS, that recreate their look and sound from their active years. Google, ABBA Voyage and get the whole story.

[@graphicmaterial5947]

I've always found it so amazing that you americans can use almost any of your vowels to produce the sound of the swedish letter "ö" in Björns name; word, turn, sir, herd, journey, etc. And still you persistently call him "Byorn". His name is pronounced like "yearn" with a "b" at the beginning and means "bear" 🐻in swedish. Ok? And yes, Agnetha sings like an angel (without auto-tune).

[@L1623VP]

Why should it be so strange that Americans, who speak English, would use English pronunciation conventions to speak someone's name? They don't speak Swedish and as such, it's completely normal that they would not be aware of Swedish pronunciation conventions and thus, revert to their own language rules to sound out a word or name. In English, "or" is the same vowel sound as in more, store, oar, and shore, thus it makes perfect sense they would say Bee"or"n and not Byearn. The British and Aussies pronounce it Bee"or"n, as well.

[@graphicmaterial5947]

Because we manage to pronounce people's names the correct way. Like for instance Ralph Fiennes, whose name is pronounced Rafe Fines. No problem there.@@L1623VP

[@Magnus_Loov]

@@L1623VP Same as in "oar" you say? Well, how about "journey"? There's an "O" in it as well accompanied by another vowel just as "oar" has the extra "a". And journey IS pronounced as "jörn" in "Björn". Maybe if "Björn" was spelled "Bjourn" then? English is very strange when it comes to spelling and frankly is lacking when it comes to vowels compared to the Nordic languages. The extra "Å", "Ä" and "Ö" takes the guess work out of how many of the words should be pronounced. It is much more often pronounced as the combinations of the individual letters in Swedish than in English. Less things to learn when it comes to that. On the other hand we have two genders for the nouns, two articles. You only use "The" or "A".

[@L1623VP]

@@Magnus_Loov Not the same. Bjorn's name doesn't have a "u" in it. Thus, the "er" pronunciation convention in "journey" doesn't apply. The "u" is key "journey" and is what dictates the pronunciation difference. It's perfectly normal to use the most common vowel sound of the "o-r" convention in the English pronunciation when looking at the name "BjORn" on the page. Virtually no English speaker would assume that is pronounced ER as in "her" instead of OR as in the word "oar": Bee-OR-n.

[@L1623VP]

Perhaps it's not so strange that Americans use American pronunciation just as French would use French pronunciation, Germans would use German pronunciation and so on. What a concept! I don't know any Americans that would complain that you use Swedish pronunciation to pronounce American words and vowel conventions that are NOT part of your native language. So many Swedes pronounce the American TH sound as "dee" or "duh" and cannot form the "j" sound as in "jelly" at all, but Americans don't act like the pronunciation police. At the same time, perhaps most Americans pronounce the name Bjorn as Bee-yorn because the word fjord is pronounced Fee-yord, not Fee-YERd. Think about it. No one is doing this to personally annoy you. Lighten up.

Agnetha was in her happy place doing this. Her dream was to write and sing her own songs. There it is.

[@Flatwoodsdad]

Thanks for the ABBA. I like the clip from Poland a little better but yeah. Agnetha's voice in this is just magical. Another great one with her is "Slipping Through My Fingers". Favourite clip with her is from "Show Express" in 82 doing "The Day Before You Came" which is the last song recorded by ABBA. Having said that lots and lots of Frinda songs are just as good, just a different flavour of ABBA.

[@rogerengblom5061]

Absolutley Frida had an amazing voice too and they were matching eachother on a way that was real magic.

[@kwarnock8151]

Usually it is all four members but the 2 women appear to be the primary vocalists.

My Love My Life is a truly gorgeous song. Try out "ABBA - Summer Night City (ABBA In Concert - SVT)" or "ABBA - Does Your Mother Know & Hole In Your Soul (Live at Wembley 1979)" for great ABBA live experiences.

[@vlad.guitar]

Hands down the best Abba song by a mile for me! In a complete class of its own. I think that the parts where Frida adds makes Agnetha's beauty of her voice come to the fore even more. That is, it blends so well together. I could listen to this song all day every day.

[@Heaven-im5kl]

ABBA had some beautiful songs. In the late 70's they had a tv special on that included Andy Gibb and Olivia Newton John. It was so good. I have run across it on KZbin and watched it again. Frida sings solo a lot. But when the four of them sing together they harmonize and it's beautiful.

[@williampaganucci1084]

This was ABBA not solo. Agnetha sang some songs and Frida (Anni-Frid) sang some songs. They ofter sang together and each sang parts of songs. The magic of ABBA is how beautiful the 2 girls voices blend together. You need to watch "ABBA The Movie" to see live concert footage of the full band.

This track was a nod to 1Occ’s ‘I’m not in love’ both songs I love however I would have loved to hear Agnetha sing a version of it.

[@calvinmurty8273]

So far, in ABBA albums, there has only been one song which is completely sung by just one member - Like An Angel Passing Through My Room - is solely sung by Frida with no background vocals by any of them. This stark, emotional piece is hauntingly beautiful, nevertheless…it’s lyrical content in a sense demands that it be sung by one person. This is in their final album before the reunion (The Visitors, 1981). There is also a song that is almost only sung by Agnetha, (from their first album, Ring Ring, 1973), entitled Disillusion. There is a brief harmony vocal that sounds like it’s sung by Frida. What’s interesting about this song is that it’s the only song in all of ABBA’s albums that was composed by her with lyrics by Bjorn - the rest were by Benny and Bjorn with a number of songs also having input from their then manager Stig Anderson. To see all of them singing in action, the best video to watch would be Does Your Mother Know/Hole In Your Soul in the Wembley 1979 concert! Pure fun and energy! Both ladies had solo careers in the Swedish pop music scene prior to ABBA, and during ABBA’s long break starting in 1982, both went on to make more solo albums, mainly in English (Frida had one in Swedish).

[@robertwill23]

Im pretty sure Agnetha harmonizes with herself on Disillusion. so it's another song with only one member singing.

Björn is pronounced as in "Earn" money (for instance) .with a long "ö"-sound. And the "B" is not mute, neither is the "j", OK? Easy!

I was glad that they used it in Mamma Mia II, and that they did such a good job with it. I cried! This is originally a break up song, but in the movie, they changed the lyrics a bit and changed it into an ode to motherhood. It was beautiful.

Before Björn writes the final lyrics to their songs, he used to write "dummy lyrics" to help him figure out either the theme of the song or to establish the phrasing (# of syllables to match the rhythm of the music). One famous song of theirs (Dancing Queen) had a complete verse which actually fit the song but was never included in the final recording and release.

[@HolgerJakobs]

Björn: Just say "burn", but put a "y" like in "you" between the "b" and the "u". Than you have it right. Agnetha: There's no such thing as a "th" (like in "think") in any other language (although the sound exists, it's never spelled "th"). So the "h" in Agnetha is silent (just like in the river "Thames" or in the name "Thomas").

Bjorn = byourn. The B is not silent. My favorite ABBA song is "Does your mother know" sung by Bjorn. This band was absolutely up there with all the big recording artists for sales and concerts in the 70's. The movie "Marielle's Wedding" was based on their songs as were the play and the movie "Mamma Mia". They were inducted into the R&R Hall of Fame by Robin and Barry Gibb. Robin said their compositions were amazing, their voices beautiful and their songs will endure because good music lasts forever. Unlike a lot of female singers these two had power and range and the guys harmonized beautifully. Many of their songs sounded simple but were actually quite complex. Usually the women sang together on all songs while the guys were backing singers and the musicians. They had too many great songs to list....BUT.... Slipping through my fingers, Super Trooper, Waterloo, Mamma Mia, Take a chance on me, The winner takes it all, SOS, Fernando, Chiquitita, I do I do I do I do I do, Thank you for the music.... how's that for starters? Their outfits were typical tacky 70's glam. PS - Chad, Please do watch they video link Eduardo left for the UNICEF concert if only for your own pleasure!

They've gotten back together, good music doesn't die. They are almost as good as the Bee Gees, notice that I said, almost. Other songs by them: Take a chance on me, Dancing queen, The winner takes all, Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight, Lovelight, when all is said and done, I still have faith in you

[@eduardooscar309]

I don't agree with your word 'almost'

[@trishafaulk2067]

@@eduardooscar309 it is just my personal opinion. ABBA is very good, but I just feel, personally, they are just not quite as good as the Bee Gees. We all have our favorites, and I respect that you, personally, like ABBA more. You have your opinion and I have mine, everyone has their likes and loves as far as music goes.

[@eduardooscar309]

@@trishafaulk2067 of course I love Bee Gees in my younger days (as the lyrics of "How can You mend a broken heart") and specialy love Robin voice He is in my Top 5 of all Greatest voices in rock pop music history, with Freddy Mercury, Paul McCartney, Karen Carpenters & Agnetha Fältskog but ABBA is my love of the old days the most versátily group, as the same level as Beatles anyway, at the same time, in 70s, Bee Gees leads in U S. ABBA leads in Europe

Please no Dancing Queen! It’s been reacted to a billion times already. Choose a different song!

@@eduardooscar309 I agree with you for Karen and Agnetha and would also add OLIVIA as my personal runner up.All of them were gifted with THE vocal identity.They could outshine from a whole mass.

Love your reaction videos Chad. I don't think this song was pitched in any way to give Agnetha a solo career. At the outset, both girls were huge stars in the Swedish music scene on their own before ABBA came together. Agnetha's voice has always been brilliant and in an interview she said that both men in ABBA pushed the girls to hit the highest notes they could...and even more.... and we see the stunning results in all their songs, perfection in both vocals and instrumentation. Annifrid (Frida) mentioned that most background vocals on their songs are done by them two with the boys occasionally chiming in. What a talent they are! I suggest you also react to Agnetha's solo records post ABBA, you might find some treasures there.

Agnetha is a true soprano with a 7 octave range. 👍👍👍👍

[@davidorheden529]

Thx for the reaction! ✌🏼 The song is in the key of C major. Agnetha Fältskog's vocal range spans from G3 to E5 during the song. According to Björn is this the song of all of their songs that bests demonstrates her amazing vocal span. ❤️ The most sincere ABBA fans consider this song one of their best among with ”If it wasnt for the nights”, wich is considered to be their most underrated groovy dancetrack. That song is very positiv but with very dark lyrics wich Björn wrote during his and Agnethas break-up. The only ”official” video is from a japanese TV-show from 1978. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bWKTYaOEf9Bkb7c

[@eduardooscar309]

also "If it wasn't for the nights" is an underrated song and in my Top 3 of "Voulez Vous" album, it isn't included on any Top 10 of ABBA fans

abba was a girls band and in front of them were the beatles they were clearly underestimated the radio producers fixed the listeners on a band BEATLES.

[@andrewmcdonald6987]

Bjorn - pronounce Byorn. Means bear.

[@allansorianomorales3950]

My God, side view and frowning, you look so much like my Uncles and older brother!🤣 On another note, I've always loved the combination of Agnetha (an-YE-tha) and Frida's voices! Before Enya, theirs were the original Ethereal Voices!❤️

[@wawa2]

Knowing Me Knowing You by ABBA is a good example of the full band performing, however, Frida does the solo rather than Agnetha.

[@mountain262]

What does that have to do with this song???? Who cares.

[@ernestocroas4081]

Who dont know abba???? They are the best!!!!

[@oscarl.3563]

Beorn sounds just fine, very American(or of middle-earth!) If you wanna have a go at it, it is really pronounced B-journ(al,) just cut -al from journal and insert a B in front: B-journ.

It's ABBA and Agnetha singing .
