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.

    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.

    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".

    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.

    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.

      The Beatles comparisons is overblown. Truth is Ringo Starr, as a solo artist, had twice the number of top 10 hits as Abba. Abba had 4, Ringo had 8. Paul had 22, btw.

      @@sloebone7399Yes indeed In the USA Abba had 4 top 10 from 1974-1981/82 and quite enough top 20/40 hit singles.Songs that people still remember sing and dance even there.In there the music press had a quite hostile face against those Swedish outsiders. 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.

    ABBA has rarely given permission to sample their music. They made an exception for Madonna, who sampled this song heavily on her song Hung Up. You have been neglecting the Queen of Pop, so maybe you could do Hung Up. It would be fun to compare productions. It’s a fun video too. Cheers guys! 💜
    Also, when you return to ABBA again, you should check out their brand new songs from last year - I Still Have Faith in You and Don’t Shut Me Down.

    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.
