      That’s so awesome!! My Nana raised me she had dementia but eventually Non verbal Alzheimer’s. My name was the only one she tried to say to the day she passed. I secretly played music from my phone her last 30 days cuz I finally had to put her under 24 hr care. She previously went to daycare while I worked. She’d smile tap her hands and feet😊 Just remember she Remembers You deep down. God Bless and Good Luck

    It's hard to imagine the global phenomenon that was ABBA. They appealed to people in every nation. I remember watching the Eurovision song contest in 1974 and as soon as I heard Waterloo by them, I knew it would win. Completely different to the norm for that contest. From then on, it was etched into history.

    Just to let momma know, ABBA composed all of their own music and songs. They also co-engineered, and co-produced all of their own material.

    If anyone says they don't like Abba? They're lying. Secretly, they love em. Everyone has a favourite Abba song. I love them all, and G G G is no exception. Abba never allowed their music to be sampled, that is until Madonna approached them with a demo, they listened, approved and so Hung Up was recorded by Madonna. She included the intro/hook you liked so much, and did it great justice. It's very well worth looking into 💜

    I think you have mostly reacted to songs where Agnetha sings lead. To get more of the many sides of the group, a song with Frida singing lead would be good. I suggest "Fernando" or "Knowing Me, Knowing You". Both ladies have amazing voices but as you have commented, it is when they sing together - that's the best. Fans call it the "third voice" because you're right, they do sound like one person. After you hear a Frida lead song, then move on to one of the songs which is all "third voice". That should be "Dancing Queen".

      I’d add Rock Me for the Bjørn vocals and The Name of the Game, Andante Andante, I Have A Dream & from the new Voyage album, I Still Have Faith In You & No Doubt About It for Frida on lead vocal. You’ve already done my favourite Agnetha lead, Chiquitita, so I’d add When All Is Said and Done and Don’t Shut Me Down & Keep An Eye On Dan from the new Voyage album & Just A Notion where they all sing a bit of the lead vocals

      Just like with Fleetwood Mac and Stevie Nicks, they're fixating on one singer. Frida has an amazing voice as well, or try 'Does Your Mother Know' with a male lead. By the way, still waiting for a Fleetwood Mac song featuring Christine McVie.

    ABBA consists of 2 married couples. I can no longer say who was married to whom, but they were married until the early 80's. ABBA was invited to a German show in the 1970s. They had to cancel after receiving ransom notes threatening their children to be kidnapped. So they made a live broadcast, which was something very special back then. ABBA is as well known in Europe as Michael Jackson is. Just so you have a relationship. And even in Japan ABBA is a big name. I recommend ABBA's songs "The day before you came", "San Fernando" and "Thank you for the music". Warning: you may need a handkerchief.

    We had a magazine for teenagers in Germany called "Bravo". When I was young they had a poster in parts to collect. All parts set together would have given you a live size poster of your stars. I only collected these parts once. Guess which group was the subject!

    If you want look for the full audio version - it has a overly funky instrumental middle part added.
    This was the hight of the Disco time (think some of the biggest BeeGees songs), and Abba suited it completely

    Yet another great ABBA song. The multiple keyboards you heard was a synthesizer. A great instrument that could emulate many different keyboard and percussion instruments . This video showed ABBA in the studio , where they were perfectionists in recording and mixing music and vocals. Yet another reason they were so great. I love watching the ladies record together. They seem to be enjoying themselves immensely.

    Ya'll should give a go at 'Does Your Mother Know'. The ladies are background and Bjorn, the guy playing the guitar here, he is singing. It's poppin' and definitely makes you want to move with it. And it's got a really good message. One of my favorites from Abba.

    Abba were masters of different types of music tracks, recording techniques - i.e in the same way Richard Carpenter utilised the technology and tools of the time to create that extra sound, so did they. You have so much Abba richness still to discover!

    When I was a kid, my Dad worked for Maersk Line, the Danish shipping company; this was the 1970's and back then, senior officers could take their families on board. Most of the officers were Scandinavian or British (we're English) and ABBA was EVERYWHERE, so ABBA is basically the soundtrack of my childhood. The second I hear ABBA, I'm right back, travelling on those ships, and Gimme is absolutely peak ABBA.

    This was from Abba’s disco album. It features the only track they ever recorded outside of Sweden - in USA, with American session musicians. (Ultimately they weren’t happy with the result and returned home for the rest).
    The fluty synth hook was sampled by Madonna for her ”Hung Up” - the only time they ever gave the green light for a sample.
    In terms of sales, Abba are up there with your Beatles and Elvis Presleys. In terms of impact and influence on pop music they are also up there. They were ridiculed by the critics at the time, but these days they are given their due. In the US too, although they only had one number one there, (Dancing Queen). Rock'n'roll Hall of Famers.
    Required listening: Dancing Queen, The Winner Takes It All, Summer Night City, When All Is Said And Done, Take A Chance On Me, Does Your Mother Know, SOS, Mamma Mia, Slipping Through My Fingers, The Visitors, Head Over Heels, Waterloo, One Of Us, Super Trouper. For starters.

But rest of the world had countless No1's top 5 and top 10's.Their record sales raised eyebrows cause were "phenomenal" as lots of non predjudiced critics were also reporting at the time.And all this achievement without being such a household name in the States,cause of less touring and different culture.So that was ok by them and for all of us living in the rest of the world that were buiyng their records in huge amounts ,and turned them out to be massive and for a very long time,until their unofficial break up.

    The sounds you heard were from a synthesizer. Synthesizers recreate musical instruments electronically. Company named Moog manufactured the some of the first ones (back in the late 70's) Today, the synthesizers are so accurate you may believe it's a real human playing a real flute, oboe, clarinet, violin, the list goes on and on.

      This is true and very well said,girl.Benny used a lot of Moog back then.Some of the songs had This very characteristic sound such as in SOS where he used a mini moog.He was a keyboard freak,totally self taught.
