We swedes, who grew up during this era, took ABBA for granted. They were played in most swedish homes, it came with being a swede, so it was first later we understood how big the phenomenon was for people outside sweden.
Many of the swedish songwiters within pop, rock and even within metal have in interviews mention the impact ABBA have had on them. 😊
ABBA;'s music was pure pop magic. The guys wrote the songs and the ladies sang the lead vocals. They were truly a worldwide phenomenon.
And still a phenomenon! Making these videos with mom reminds me all over again how great they are
@@generationgapreacts have you heard their Voyage songs yet? Released last year after 40 years.
If Mozart made pop songs he couldn't have bettered Abba
Brings me back to my childhood too😪
@@generationgapreacts Back in the 70's..we didn't realise that ABBA was actually "that" good..back in time..it was normal to have awesome music in the charts..a good tip..please check out..Barbra Streisand & Barry Gibb - Guilty - Live 1986 HQ - thanx alot.
Funny..... back in the day, a lot of people (actually, just men) wouldn't admit they owned an ABBA album even though they secretly did. The legacy of ABBA has only grown as the decades passed and are now universally praised. Always loved this song.
You both should review "The Winner Takes It All." This is MY favorite ABBA song, sung on lead vocal by Agnetha, right after her divorce from bandmate Bjorn. When she sings it, yiu know she is singing straight from the heart. And this is arguably her best-ever vocal performance. Agnetha has the unique ability to tell her story in music and just watch her face as she sings this huge hit. I recommend the live performance from German TV. She is stunningly beautiful. It is amazing and sure to tug at the heartstrings. The production and harmonies and lyrics are perfect. Check it out. I have a gut feeling you both will love it.
Yes! We'd love to and definitely will
so happy to see you again with ABBA songs
"Fernando" (1976)
is a soft ballad, so nice and beautiful
The best is the beauty of their vocal harmonies, very soft at the whisper level but at a level of perfection, that explodes in a magic chorus
I have compared it to "Chiquitita" (1979) because both songs have similarities and contrasts
Both have the title in Spanish, and was recorded in spanish too (to the album in spanish "Gracias por la Música" In 1980)
Both are pop ballads with an initial verse sung alone and from the second chorus in duet, with a very catchy and popular chorus (in my country Argentina are songs that we would sing in a circle of friends, because we all know their lyrics)
The two videos show the contrast of fire and snow, night and day
They were both very most worldwide successful, only behind "Dancing Queen"
ABBA had already recorded "Dancing Queen" and it came from the success of "Mamma Mía"
It was the manager who convinced them to record "Fernando" so as not to repeat the style
(Frida had done it before in 1975 on her solo album in Swedish and it was a success, but the lyrics was different)
He was right and everything was a success, one after another in that year 1976, with three #1 consecutives in UK
Mamma Mía (2 weeks)
Fernando (4 weeks)
Dancing Queen (6 weeks)
In addition, this variety of options had different results in each country.
"Fernando" was a colossal success in Australia (14 weeks at #1 surpassed the "Hey Jude" mark) and 7 weeks at #1 in Germany
"Dancing Queen" was 14 weeks #1 in Sweden and six weeks #1 in the U.K.
Both were #1 in the U.S. but in various rankings: "Dancing Queen" on the Billboard and "Fernando" on Adult Contemporary
The official video of "Fernando" was filmed in February 1976, with Dancing Queen the next day
in these Official Video you could see:
Bjorn & Benny, both in guitars
Frida & Agnetha confronted both in frontal and profile images (repeating the "Mamma Mia" technique used)
premiering her gypsy style dress
and a last comparation
"Fernando" (1976) is first ABBA single with Frida in lead voice, and recorded in her solo album in Swedish (released before ABBA)
as "S.O.S." (1975) is first ABBA single with Agnetha in lead voice, and recorded in her solo album in Swedish (released after ABBA)
For a next reaction, my suggestion is
"Mamma Mía" , the single before in 1976, another banger and worldwide hit to ABBA
Thanks so much for these video
I wish you a great week
See you in the next
My best regards from
Buenos Aires Argentina 🇦🇷
South America
Always a pleasure to read your wonderful comments Eduardo. ABBA continues to be one of our favorites and for good reason!
Many more ABBA videos to come :)
Best regards rom U.S. to Argentina!
There's nothing that's more guaranteed to give you chills than when Frida and Agnetha's voices come together, whatever the song. As for the next reaction, please consider giving Angeleyes a listen - maybe one you're not so familiar with and one of my top five.
No we aren’t familiar, but that makes me very intrigued! Thank you for the suggestion Steve
those woman where beautifull to 😆🥰 hahaha they had the complete package, this erra whas amazing.
thank god i was old enough to experience it
Back in the 70s ABBA were often criticised by the media and press for being too camp and kitsch. But the fans loved them. Many fellow musicians respected them as fantastic song writers and music arrangers. Heavy Metal legends like Lemmy from Motorhead and Ritchie Blackmore from Deep Purple were massive fans of the band.
An interesting song to react to would be "the day before you came". It was the last song they recorded before they took a 40 year hiatus. A storyteller song that's fairly unique in their back catalogue. A great video too. Well worth checking out👍
Thank you James for the suggestion!
was fortunate enough to see ABBA live in Melbourne Australia Sidney Myer Music Bowl March 1977 still ABBA crazy all these years later & new material after 40 yrs
We are going to listen to their new music soon!
You lucky guy.So privildged.Have seen that excitement featured in ABBA the Movie.
So good! My dad bought the first ABBA Greatest Hits album around 1976 because of this song, which was my introduction to them as a pre schooler 🙂
Hai ladies,I am happy and glad finally I found someone reacts to oldies.I was only 7 years old when I first listen to this song and now at 54 I am still listening to Abba everyday while doing my house chores.Their voice are so soothing,the melody and the sound makes your body move instantly 😜. Please reacts to Tom Jones,Frank Sinatra and Conway Twitty...Love from Malaysia...
I think this was number one in Australia for around 17 weeks! When their version of Top of the Pops tried to not play the video, they almost caused a riot. Pop music perfection.
A L yric video to this song was released by ABBA's official channel a couple of days ago and i like it even better.They combined the original to the lyrics with a fine 'retro montage'.
The song Chiquitita. Their harmonies are amazing
Coming soon!
I think this song and their song Dancing Queen were they're two best contributions to the era of disco I love both of these songs and I just love the way those two women's voices blend together when they sing. This is definitely one of my favorite groups back in the'70s they came on with the bang and lasted about a decade and then they kind of left the scene and haven't been back but they made some pretty great music while they were traveling and Performing all over the world in the decade of the seventies.
It's about two friends reminiscing their experience fighting in the Mexican War. Fernando is his/her friend
Thank you Mike for more info on the song
No, it's not...
Meravigliosi Abba mi hanno accompagnato x tutta la mia gioventù le loro canzoni non moriranno mai..fantastici. .
What I like most about them is that none of their songs is superficially written, arranged or performed. Everything is very exigent, there are layers upon layers, lots of detail. They are one of the few bands from this century which will be remembered, played and listened to forever.
It's good that you appreciate the good music of yesterday, ABBA is my favorite pop group, although I heard some of their songs before, it's only been 3 years since I've known all their songs, keep reacting to ABBA! You have a like of mine every time you upload a video of them!
Thank you Arturo! We will continue to make ABBA videos
The planet's were definitely in the right alignment when Ani Frid and Agnetha were joined together. Such a rare occurrence to have two voices like theirs joined together, really by happenstance. Even today with all of the ABBA shows and musicals going on and drawing the finest singing talents around, they still have not found a match for these two heavenly voices combined.
It amused me when you said that 'Fernando' was written by the two guys. Benny and Bjorn wrote all their songs except 'Disillusion' which was written by Agnetha who wrote a lot of songs before ABBA and some after. She made five albums after ABBA and they are all good to listen to. Probably the best is her last one (2013) called 'A'. The only other recording not composed by them was a medley of three old songs 'Pick a Bale of Cotton' etc.
Very true! We try to bring a little bit of info on the artist or song per video. Just in case any other viewer didn't know the men wrote the songs. But you're right it wasn't just Fernando!
Agnetha also wrote I Am Still Alive, a song never recorded but performed live in Wembley (1979). There is a video on TH-cam.
@@robertschatz7781 Yes, forgot about that one. Thanks.
You have got so nice reaction girls. Dancing Queen and Money, Money Money are the next superhits in time (-76). I personally loves next gems best like The Name Of The Game, Knowing Me, Knowing You, Thank You For The Music and Chiquitita. LIVE are they amazing aswell, first from Australia -77, and a little later from Wembley. In the later you have got Does Your Mother Know/ Hole In Your Soul, I Have A Dream or The Way Old Friends Do.
In addition to the fantastic singing of Frida and Agnetha plus their 'third voice' and the superb songwriting and lyrics by Benny and Björn, respectivly, a big 'secret' of the ABBA sound was the unique instrumentation and production by Michel B Tretow and Benny. One important aspect was that there should be an increased number of layers for each new verse and chorus to finally build up a 'Wall of Sound'. In addition, total changes of tune and addition of musical elements in the middle of songs contributed both to the (a number of) hooks in each song and the fact that your never get bored of listening to ABBA.
They practized for a long time during long hard hours over many years in the studio and also by producing many other great Swedish artists. By their third self-named album (ABBA), they had almost pieced the jigsaw together and by their fourth album (Arrival) the production was already world class.
Thus, it might be interesting to see how it all started in 1972 with a good tune and very talented ladies' vocals on their first single 'People need love' (link below). However, at that time the name of the group was Festfolket (or even Fästfolket = Swedish for 'People engaged to get married'). Unfortunately, this TV special for Swedish Television is not live but playback. However, it still gives you a very good idea (in hindsight) of what was going to come. The song even includes yodeling ;-)

Either one of their voices is amazing. Together they were magical
So 'nice' to see you are moved by their voices...that's just ABBA. Try Chiquitita next for some beautiful harmonies.
Definitely will!
My favourite band of ALL TIME. Absolute genius songwriters, stunning voices and incredible harmonies. ABBA songs will still be played 100 years from now. Brilliant music never dies and transcends the generations. I Would love you to react to I’ve Been Waiting For You. It’s my all time favourite ABBA song. Agnetha’s vocals on this are just stunning 😊🔥
Writing that down!
The flutes gave this song some irish/celtic flavor!
My parents loved ABBA. This was the #1 song in the UK on the day I was born 😊
For me Abba are the greatest pure pop band that have ever existed.
Genius songwriting.
I'm one of the rocker guys from when they were doing their thing that's not afraid to say I liked the. Especially Agnetha😍🥰😋
A cool reaction girls, for a great talented group, good vibes for you from México city..👍🏻👋🏻👋🏻
Thank you Antonio!
Muito bom !!! Sou fã do ABBA
I always song where Anna-Frid sings lead. She's not as demonstrative as Agnatha, but I think she has a purer voice. I especially like "I Have a Dream"
If you like this song so much, then maybe you should hear the ORIGINAL, Swedish language version which appereared on Anni-Frid Lyngstad's solo album Frida Ensam the year BEFORE Abba had the hit with it. Sure the original deserves a listen and a reaction too.
Reminds me of Townes Van Zandt
" Pancho & Lefty" lots of people covered it. Like Willie Nelson and Bob Dylan.
Your reactions are like Christmas presents. You never know what's gonna be in the box. That is why I am always looking forward to the next surprise. Thanks!
Thanks for the ABBA. Everybody associated with an ABBA song strived for perfection. And on many many occasions they acomplested it. Besides Frida's solo Swedish version it was also recorded and a hit in Spanish "Fernando (Spanish Version" ----> th-cam.com/video/KYQthjncZxk/w-d-xo.html Every version is beautiful and magical. I wouldn't mind if you reacted to all of them.
Oh I bet the song sounds lovely in Spanish!
I heard, when they recorded a perfect take, they did a second perfect one an put it on top , this is just wich makes the sound so magical.
This was so nice. I enjoy watching your reviews. Your whole presentation is beautiful and well put together.
VCS são maravilhosas,, congratulações do Brasil 🇧🇷
Loved the lighting in this video.
Two of my most favorite bands of the 70s would be heart and Abba '70s were the best decade especially when Star wars came out and blew everyone's mind the music and the movies were so epic
I grew up on Abba, my parents were huge fans ❤
When the ABBA singers are in Harmony its the legendary THIRD voice, A soprano and Metso Soprano.
This song was inspired by they're visit to Australia 🌏
Before they were world wide famous att talking about the stars under a starry night ✨
Under the Southern Cross
I was introduced to ABBA in the 80's by my late father when he bought their compilation album. Love them since. I didn't plan to introduced them to my kids but they happened to watch both Mamma Mia movies and love the songs.
The winner takes it all is my ultimate heartbreak song😁 . Love your reaction 👍.
Coming soon ☺️
Love the coordinated shirts. Sassy and classy at the same time :)
Thank you so much! At the minimum we try not to clash 😆
Have you done Knowing Me Knowing You?
Not yet but we will definitely cover that
You definitely have to take a listen to "The Winner Takes it all". For those of us who've lost at love and felt the pain of separation. Agnetha has a voice that brings the heart forward and makes you feel the pain of those hard times we went through.
Ohhhhhhh reacting to both ABBA and Nightwish. You are becoming my favourite reactors. Hahahahaha
ABBA from Sweden. And Floor Jansen lives in Sweden. Sweden rules. Hahahahahahaha
This appeared in the 2nd Mamma Mia film & had the most contrived intro. Andy Garcia plays a caretaker type character, & we never get to hear his 1st name. Then Cher arrives as the girl's grandmother (Meryl Streep's mum). She sees this guy & we get to hear his 1st name as Cher sings this!!!
Hello again from Sweden You Lovely ABBA Loving pair! "Tearing up ..." over Fernando is so sweet, and understandable - the song is just Magic! One thing i noticed about the ABBA girls blouses: I think the just happened to be Ukrainian. So fitting regarding the Ukrainian peoples struggle today, 46 years later. By the way. Your own blouser/vests are quite eye catching also!
Have i missed , The Winner Takes it All,
Two artists I think you would enjoy are Bread and Dan Fogelberg. Bread had a string of hits in the early 70's like, Everything I Own, Guitar Man, If, Diary and several others. Dan Fogelberg had an Eagles like sound and is remembered mostly for his Same Ol Lang Sine which has become a holiday standard and Leader Of The Band, a tribute to his father.
banger
It's kinda open to interpretation, my oldest brother crossed his future wife across the Rio grande back in the 70s r.i.p Fernando ❤ love you big brother 😢
Well, you've done a lot of their music now. you should do "Gimme Gimme Gimme" and "Does Your Mother Know"
Fernando was on his deathbed. His friend was comforting him. The drums, was Death.
What's funny about this song is that when it came out, I thought it was a couple Mexican women singing not only because of the lyrics, but their Swedish accents actually sound Spanish! Excellent song. Thanks ladies!
I think this song was reportedly Frida’s favourite ❤️
"The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" - Gordon Lightfoot (HD w/ Lyrics) and Gordon Lightfoot - Sundown (1974)
The next two ABBA songs you should do are Winner Takes It All and Name of the Game.
I would like to hear your reaction to I Have a Dream by ABBA. It's beautiful.
Ladies I would like to encourage you to continue down the ABBA trail. For a deeper appreciation of the tight harmonies and Agnetha's vocal power check out "Chiquittita", or "Gimme Gimme Gimme". For an outstanding example of Agnetha's capabilities check out "The Winner Takes It All", a song about Bjorn and Agnetha's divorce with the lyrics (most ABBA songs) written by Bjorn.
You should do Waterloo

tack
Play Dancing Queen by ABBA also a song Hallelujah by Lucy Thomas. Please
Now try there song The winner Takes It All, It´s a heartbreaking song!
Coming next week!
Guys,talking about ABBA songs,wouldnt it be really good if you did a reaction on the official video of the ABBA song Summer night City? I think you would love it!
Believe it or not they never won a Grammy when fully active.
Please React to ABBA’s “Chiquitita” (little one, in Spanish). FYI, did you know they got their name by using the first letter of each of their first names…Anna Freida, Bjorn, Benny, Anna……SanJoséBob
Has daughter heard this before or was this the first time?
Actually, Fernando was written originally by Agnetha as a solo work. 99% of the time ABBA songs were Benny and Bjorn.
But a great song nonetheless 👌
Thank you Col !
There could be a slight confusion on your part. Fernando was written by Benny and Björn originally for Frida's solo album Frida ensang, with Swedish lyrics.
Hi there Col. Well it was written by the guys for the brunette Frida.not Agnetha.Twas her big solo hit in Sweden originally recorded in Swedish(1975).And then they all did this In English for ABBA and became a huge worldwide hit a year later .In Australia it was n01 for 14 weeks and held that record for ages till Ed Sheeran broke this with 'Shape of You'.Agnetha had done in Swedish a solo version of Abba's 'SOS', that was also a big solo hit in Sweden same year.
@Niclas Eriksson This was originally a solo song pre ABBA
@@colrhodes377In a way yes it was.Disillusion was recorded in 1970.Agnetha wrote the music Bjorn English lyrics.Then they decided It to include it in Abba's debut album in 1973.Benny and Bjorn did the production.Agnetha re-recorded this for her 1975 solo album in Swedish.That version i like even better.More b.vocals and more strings.A more enriched orcherstration.Title was 'Mina Ogon'.
You should check out Cher singing this in mamma Mia 2. It is the visual embodiment of the song
I’m so glad you said that…. I love both movies and I love Cher singing Fernando. So beautiful! 😃
Cher singing Fernando is horrible! Mama Mia actors singing ABBA Songs never even came close to the original. True ABBA fans are not that fond of Mama mia.
You should react to Chiquitita😍
Of course it is a lovesong but at the background there is this war and failing in battle and getting older together. The romantic heroism is over ....
Some say they did not speak english, and sang their songs using phonetics,,, don't know if that is true.
Unfortunately the song is dedicated to a Marxist revolutionary called Che Guevara,who executed dozens of people in Cuba.Fernando sacamuelas was his nick ( he was a doctor) . When he went to Bolivia to start a communist revolution He was killed . The flutes that You listening in the intro are the Andean Quenas . No everything that shines is gold.
