WAS THIS THE START?? ABBA | People Need Love | REACTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@stevehawkins1744]

It's great that you are exploring ABBA's full catalogue, not just the obvious hits 👍

[@Bklynreau]

ohh yea we gonna listen to every song

The thing I love most about these ladies is that they are unique and real, not just beautiful. No endless filters and auto tune, just talent and charisma and hard work. They’re gorgeous, gifted women. These reactions make my day🤗

[@eduardooscar309]

got to see your video, and doin my specialy request! Excellent! You are reacting to the first song in english recorded by ABBA. Congratulations! Björn and Benny met in 1966 and eventually they left their own bands and started composing together, and became a duo. The girls Agnetha and Frida, who were solo singers, were met in 1969 The four of them begin to collaborate with each other on their recordings, they do some shows together and Agnetha a tour with Björn and Benny in 1971 the opportunity is given and they all four recording this song in March 29, 1972, called theirself: "Björn & Benny, Agnetha & Frida" and it is really good, simple in its music, all four sing it very well and in the video you can see them very happy and smiling This is the First TV perfomance together, April 30, 1972 Agnetha in particular is very different from what she will be later, her beauty will mature in just two more years, just for Waterloo in Eurovision 4:08 at the time of the TV perfomance, the ages of each other is shows in the video in that order Björn 27 ; Frida 26 ; Benny 25 ; Agnetha 22 "People need love" has the characteristics of The Boys singing one verse and The Girls answering the next So they did several songs, until the voices of Agnetha and Frida prevailed and Björn and Benny dedicated themselves to composing, accompanying in choirs and producing. See you soon in another video (I leave my suggestion in a separate comment) GOD bless you and stay safe Best regards from Buenos Aires, Argentina South America

[@Vikinggirl1679]

Another great reaction. Love it. A little background. All 4 had careers before ABBA. Agnetha was a child singing prodigy very famous on Swedish TV. Bjorn and Benny both were in other bands then decided to colaberate together. Bjorn shortly after met Agnetha and they were married in I believe 71. Frida started singing with jazz bands at 14. After divorcing her first husband she moved to Stockholm where she met Benny. She already had 2 children at the time of this video They quickly became a couple and moved in together later marrying too.The 4 were 2 couples the men trying to be singers too. They very quickly realized the girls had the voices lol. The men were the musicians and song writers. The rest is history. Maybe try their song from the last record from last year called I still have faith in you and don't shut me down. Their voices are still great. Take care

[@Bklynreau]

thank u brother

[@Junemurphy-x4l]

Frida is divorced from Benny now and she is currently not married

[@petterhansson7312]

Björn is 27 here (born early '45), Frida 26 (born November '45), Benny 26 (born '46), Agnetha 22 (born '50). Frida is already a mother of two.

[@eduardooscar309]

Benny 25 years here (born in December 1946)

They were basically a coincidental supergroup. Agneta was a singer/songwriter who had her first major hit in Sweden at age 17. Frida was a jazz singer who won a national competition on TV and then performed along several wellknown artists. Björn was the lead singer for a skiffle group, the Hootenanny Singers, that had a long string of Swedish hits and a handful in Europe. Benny was playing keyboards in Sweden’s most popular group in the 60’s, the Hep Stars. The Hootenanny Singers and the Hep Stars often played the same venues, so Björn and Benny kept running into eachother and became friends. They both wrote songs for their respective groups and figured maybe they should try to write some songs together. Meanwhile Björn had met Agneta as they appeared on the same TV show, and they became a couple. Benny had met Frida in a similar way, so when Björn and Benny hung out, their girlfriends tugged along. It took a while but eventually they figured out ”hey! We’re all in the music business; maybe we should do something together?” It started kind of awkward with some cabaret style shows, where they called themselves Festfolket, which is a pun. It means ”the party people”, but fästfolket, different spelling, same pronounciation, means ”those who are engaged to eachother”. Anyway, they noticed that the voices of the girls blended really well, and once they decided to become a pop group instead and came up with a new name, things started to fall in place, and the rest is history.

[@harryrob8221]

You forgot to state that they decided to use the first letter of their names to create the new name of the group.

[@josefschiltz2192]

It's incredible, thinking about this for a moment and especially for people so much in the public eye like ABBA, that we as a generation have access to an art form of moving pictures that aren't grainy, tinted or blurred of ourselves and our loved ones and so sharp in definition that it brings to life our pasts. This is an extraordinary bridge to the present and has so much potency. Sometimes for pain and sorrow and loss. Other times though for recalling, with attendant clarity, times of great happiness and joy. Just like this one. Great reaction my friend.

[@eduardooscar309]

I was thinking You just did the first television presentation of the future ABBA with their first song recorded in English Just a short time later Agnetha became pregnant with her first child with Björn. ABBA would not perform again until Melodiefestivalen 1973 (with Agnetha in her eighth month of pregnancy), but there are only photographs and audio The next ABBA television presentation is with a friend of Frida's replacing Agnetha, in her postpartum time and when Agnetha returns, they travel to Denmark in 1973 and make two videos: "Ring Ring" (which you already did in the official video) and "Love isn't easy" (but is sure is hard enough) and this is what I propose for a next reaction Here I leave the link, it is very nice to see them here so young kzbin.info/www/bejne/j53Simisr9ySpac After this, the presentations of ABBA will come with "Waterloo" in 1974, and everything will be different, the worldwide insertion of ABBA will become a reality and constant

[@jamesdagenais6494]

I like this. Before they were known as a group or had any hits. They sounded great from the start.

[@rubenrodriguez296]

Enjoyable reaction. Other suggestions: "He is my Brother" and "Lay All Your Love on Me."" If you are in the mood to watch ABBA jamming with other 70s stars, please check out Olivia Newton-John special with ABBA and Andy Gibb (brother of Bee,Gees). In that special, Frida does a voice warm up where you can appreciate her operatic range. Hope you check it out. I think you would enjoy it. 😊👍

[@craignehring]

Check this out, I was born 1950, ABBA was there but I never "dug them" until ten years ago. Now I can not get enough of them. I liken it to discovering the Beatles . Rock on brother

[@AzoreanZionist]

🙂Yes, this was officially ABBA's first single in English. Their first recording with all four members (Agnetha, Björn, Benny & Ann-Frid), was 2 years earlier in 1970, and it was in Swedish , "Hej Gamle Man".

[@BlankSlate1111]

Frida and Agnetha are the sexiest dup ever

[@helenpeterson]

Always good to see the evolution.

[@Bklynreau]

always!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@opicatchu2164]

ABBA is harmony❤

[@Lisa-M]

For their whole story you should read the book "Bright Lights, Dark Shadows: The real story of ABBA" from Carl Magnus Palm. It's the story from all four members from birth to the middle of the 90's if I remember correctly (I don't think that I have the newest edition). The book has about 600 pages, so you will have a lot to read. 😊

[@darrenbertram7289]

I was going to suggest that book; a brilliant in depth view of the group, you really get to know each one personally afterwards 🙂

[@LilRocker2005]

There's a few performances from 1973, including a couple televised performances of this song that Agnetha was absent from, that was because she'd just given birth to her daughter. If you haven't yet, please check out "Crazy World". It has Bjorn singing lead, and the first verse or two makes you think that it's a song about one partner cheating on the other but the song's story has a happy ending.

[@heidi22209]

I imagine you cant get ABBA outa ur head all frickin day! Sht is getting real! ❤

[@Muckylittleme]

Oh yes, I have a wonderful ABBA video for you singing "I have a dream" in Spanish. Some great Frida close ups and much better quality than other versions. For the exact video search "ABBA - Estoy Soñando" And maybe get the lyrics up for "I have a dream" so you know what they are signing if like me you don't speak Spanish. 😊

Hello man!!! 👋🏼❤ I love that you're such an ABBA fan. Have you seen ABBA:The movie? It is a 1 hour and 45 minute film about an English reporter seeking an interview with the group. There are many performances and back stage shots of the group. I know you'd enjoy it. 👍🏼👏🏼 God bless 🙏🏼

[@Bklynreau]

THANK U 🙏🏾

[@Muckylittleme]

Hello again. I have three I think you will like although video quality isn't the best on the first and the other two don't have video with performances. First Frida looking stunning "Hey, hey Helen" and to find the best version search or copy paste the following "ABBA - Hey, Hey Helen (Video)" And then two great tracks which don't have videos unfortunately so probably best to react to lyric videos "Lay all your love on me" and "Angel Eyes"

It is Bossa Nova or smooth jazz style but you should listen to Frida doing a live impromptu performance as she just won a contest, I believe it is 1967. En Ledge Dag kzbin.info/www/bejne/rnm4eKuKq9B-n9U She does whistle tones at the end, 2 decades before Mariah.The interview is a bit cringe because the interviewer asks her such personal questions but fun watch.

[@lawrenceleise6997]

The high notes are sung by Agnetha the blonde soprano. Not Frida, the brunette mezosoprano. Agnetha had 30 songs in the Swedish top ten before ABBA. Bjorn fell in love with her voice BEFORE he met her in 1969. Not sure why you say "Frida" all the time.

[@Lisa-M]

What have Agnetha's songs before ABBA and Björn falling in love with her to do with that? Imagine there are indeed people who prefer Frida.
