This is one of ABBA's more folky songs, which was quite common in their early recordings .. But of course, being ABBA, they accomplished all their styles beautifully, and always with great melody and harmony .. A lovely song indeed .. Liked your reaction a lot ! .. Wayne
People Need Love is probably the most folky, very trad Swedish style, I forget the exact word. Friday yodelling at the end ❤️ Benny and Bjorn are very much folk rooted (also The Way Old Friends Do)
Dereck it is nice for an old-timer like me to see a young man like yourself who really knows ABBA and understands how great they really were, and still are. Bjorn and Benny wrote great music, and Frida and Agnetha sang so beautifully. They were a fantastic group.
Always one of my favorites ! just a great relaxing, soothing, sing-a-long songs with memorable instrumentation and actually my fav with Bjorn on vocals
This is ABBA in their early, "purer" form, with clear, clean harmonies and instrumentation, before they incorporated the massive "wall of sound" overproduction. I love their early songs 😍
LOVE that you really dig deep in the treasure trove of hidden wonderful ABBA gems...as good as they are,they are in many views forgotten,a big pity! Thanks that you bring a pearl like this up here. Their earlier work really doesnt get the great recognition it deserves....
I remember listening to this for the first time on the Greatest Hits album wondering where this and others gems like Nina Pretty Ballerina came from as the Ring Ring album wasn’t available in the U.K. at the time.
I absolutely love these songs, the whole album, really. So beautiful, simple, and sincere . This album was released in Scandinavia and a limited number of other territories, including Germany, Australia, South Africa and Mexico, on March 26, 1973. It was a chart-topping album in Belgium, and a big success in the Netherlands, Norway and South Africa.
Omg, now we are way back to my earliest childhood memories. I remember singing this - or trying to - before knowing English. This was on their first greatest hits album, which was played all over Scandinavia and released before Arrival came out.
It's old at all levels, but it's amazing all the genres, universes that have practiced, it's one of their peculiarities that all these different productions in addition to their Timeless songs.
Dereck , as the same with "Arrival" , You are the first and only who did a reaction to these song too "Another town, another train" so nice and lovely song, from the first álbum "Ring Ring" (1973) when They called themself: "Björn & Benny ; Agnetha & Frida" Björn did a beautifull lead voice and Agnetha & Frida gives a fantastic harmonies in the chorus I think is the same style as the future worldwide hit "Fernando"
Hello Dereck,such a beautiful song.When i bought the album and heard this song,i immediately fell in love with Björn's voice.It was the same with Crazy World.It fells so good to listen to this song!Thank You for your reaction Dereck!💝😄🐬
You’ve got your work cut out from November 5th! 8 more NEW ABBA songs to review! I suggest leave it a few days as us fans will be elsewhere listening to them for the 1st time!
This song is so perfect that any note is out of tune, very advanced for some 20-year-old musicians, so it is clear that they have an extensive musical knowledge. The chorus produces a lot of peace, especially since the same lines are repeated in different ways and there is a punchline at the end of the chorus with much more intensity, God, it's so full of harmonies that Bjorn's voice disappears in the choruses. It is so nice. I love this early track.
This is song is very catchy. For all you hard core ABBA fans and new fans alone that would like to know more, I really really suggest reading BRight Lights, Dark Shadows book. I listened to the audio book. It goes in depth on the Fab Four. The author really did the research on countless interviews and documentation of their rise of world wide popularity.
Derek, That flute is a mellotron. ABBA used the mellotron on every song on their first album. The mellotron is what the Beatles used on the opening on Strawberry Fields. I recommend reading every single book by Carl Magnus Palm. You will learn about EVERYTHING about ABBA. Too include the dark period of 1971, into 1972. They went from a foursome to a threesome. Frida left. It then was a year of negotiations with Frida and Stig Anderson/Polar Music to get Frida to commit. Carl knows more about ABBA than ABBA does. ABBA tends to "forgot" some parts of their history and he reminds them.
I didn't know this one. There's a "feel good" vibe in the music which reminds me the good times of early 70's. I imagine lying on the grass, looking at the sky, in the countryside. Good choice 👌🏻
Dereck, you bring me so much joy with your Abba reactions. Have you reacted to Ring Ring? You reacted to People need love. Love from Gina from Barbados
You've done people need love reaction haha but hey love this reaction love your channel love you❤😘continue the ABBA reactions love them Good to mention it South Africa 🇿🇦my mother says ABBA were a hit here back In her days
A BIG FAVE OF MINE, BJØRN DOING THE VOCALS. TRY OUT THE REGGAE/ CARRIBEAN FEEL SONG: TROPICAL LOVELAND, FROM THIRD ALBUM, TITLED: ABBA. ABBA, THE PERFECT BLEND OF POP, ROCK, FOLK, REGGAE, CLASSICAL, COUNTRY, FUNK AND DISCO MUSIC 😘😘😘😘
Tolle Reaction von DERECK 💥, für diesen alten und so schönen Song von ABBA!!! Das war aus dem Jahr' 73 und ganz großes sollte dem folgen !!!👍👍👍 👏👏👏 Weiter so, mein lieber, es gibt noch soooo viel von dem alten Songs,die es auch in deine Challenge verdient haben !!! Z.B. Love Light, Suzy Hang Around, What About Livingstone, Happy Hawaii, Watch Out etc. 💯 👌👌👌 Freue mich schon auf den nächsten Clip der Vier Schweden, den DU aussuchen wirst !!!🤩😍🥰
One of their very best from the early years and I have both the German version of this and "Ring Ring" on the Abba International CD, not sure why they never recorded again in German after "Waterloo"!
Re: Playboy Label. Yes it was a record label. One of Polar Music's biggest blunders. 'People Need Love' was put on Playboy Label in America. Eventually, Gorel Johnsen-Hanser, who Stig hired in 1969, who had just turned 20, eventually became Polar Music VP and handled the regional record labels for ABBA's licensing agreements. Gorel was Stig's right hand. She ran the Polar Music admin: The regional labels around the world, PR, media. When the world called ABBA/Polar Music, Gorel took those calls. Gorel wrote no music. Wrote no lyric. Played no instrument. Sang no song. But she was the backbone/glue of ABBA/Polar Music. The Grammy people noticed and awarded her a Swedish Grammy in 2017 for her work with ABBA, BB, Benny Andersson Orchestra, etc... The unsung hero of ABBA. She was adored. Stig, Frida, Benny, Bjorn and Agnetha in 1979, wrote a song for her 30th birthday and sang it to her. Also 50 blue vinyl record were pressed and given away at Gorel's 30th birthday party. Today that blue vinyl is extremely valuable. Gorel song is on TH-cam.
Bjorn has lots of leads with ABBA.ots on first album. He was lead vocalist and songwriter with The Hootenanny Singers. Stig Anderson's Polar Music first signing was Bjorn's The West Bay Singers/ Hootenanny Singers in 1963. The first year any of the core members met each other, 1963, Bjorn & Frida.
Re: Stig Anderson, The Boss! Founder - Sweden Music (publishing), 1960. Polar Music (label), 1963 Stig Anderson was a hit maker. Dominated the Swedish charts in the 60's. Started in the early 50's as a teen converting English-Swedish-English lyrics. He was a songwriter, musician, series entertainer. He became a music manager in the 60's. All the best artist were attracted to Stig. He was a hit maker.
FINALLY! A song from the Ring Ring album. Okay, you have already react to "People Need Love" from that album but apart from that all other songs are still unreacted. There are so many other gems on it, you will see (or hear ^^). Try "Nina, Pretty Ballerina", "Ring Ring", "He Is Your Brother", "Love Isn't Easy (But It Sure Is Hard Enough)", "Me And Bobby And Bobby's Brother" or "Disillusion. By the way, your German pronounciation is expandable. ;-) (no offense)
@@hildegardkurku3504 King Kong Song does not really belong to my favourites but of course he should react to it, too. I also hope for "Bang-A-Boomerang" and "Tropical Loveland".
Cute little song ,yessss! The highlight of this video are definitively the subtitles.The line "...nothing lost and nothing gained" becomes "....nothing less than nothing gay... ".great stuff,love it! :-))
yes playboy was a small record label and consisted mostly of country artists. other than ABBA the brother trio hudson brothers's 1st album was on playboy. titled hudson. the 2 singles ABBA released on this label are very rare and hard to find and are very collectable and pricey to buy if you can find them. - they never charted as well. i myself do not have them in my collection and saw one of the singles maybe 20 years ago in a record store but was not able to buy it. after the release of these 2 singles they signed with atlantic records in the u.s.
Soo true! The original -73 version is way much better. They added the sax and made a terrible remix on the -74 US version because it would sound a little bit like Waterloo.
Your reactions are so good and you point out the small but important things of the songs. Have you reacted to "When i kissed the teacher" yet? Please do! It´s one of the best songs, i think anyway...
Yes Playboy had a record label. Short lived. ABBA tried but couldn't land a major deal in USA. They finally landed a deal with Atlantic after this which in itself was interesting since Atlantic was a mainly an r&b/soul/jazz lable with some major rock bands eg Led Zeppelin and Yes.
Most of the guys playing for Abba in studio and on stage were jazz musicians, more or less, so why not? Benny and Frida know their jazz music too (however hard to belive given Abba's main styles :)
@@herrbonk3635 Best stated that it was perceived that way in the industry. Stig wasn't picky. He took the best deal. Epic seemed logical since they were the UK company.
@@herrbonk3635 it was perceived that way in the industry. It made sense to Stig and Atlantic so that is what counts. ABBA was seen as a light pop group in the USA. That was probably why it was seen as an interesting deal.

That song... I love its innocence! And it's available in German as well. 😉 Thanks for your channel and your love for ABBA. Really entertaining! Cheers from Germany! 🇩🇪
Great song, but let's face it, if they continued making songs like this, we wouldn't be having reaction video's about them now. Makes you face the fact they started in 1972/3 and here we are 50 years later with a new album in the offing.

I adore their early tracks. The Ring, Ring album had some great tunes.
Fell in love with this track the first time I heard in in 1980!!

Always loved this song.It’s in my personal ABBA top 10.
LOVE ABBA FOREVER ❤️ and LOVE you Dereck...!!
One of my favorite songs from my ABBA. Yes my ABBA.
One of the best early ABBA songs from their first album
The guys can sing too. Incredible
"What about Livingston" underrated!!
True! It's one of my favourites from the Waterloo album.
great song!!!!!!!!!
I find that song bizarre, lol
Very true, a masterpiece of a song.
LOVE that you really dig deep in the treasure trove of hidden wonderful ABBA gems...as good as they are,they are in many views forgotten,a big pity! Thanks that you bring a pearl like this up here. Their earlier work really doesnt get the great recognition it deserves....
Regarding Benny on keys I can only repeat myself: Try "Intermezzo No. 1". :-D
Yes yes yes!

Yes! The flute! Love it!
You're finally reacting to this song! You should do a reaction to "Love Isn't Easy (But It Sure Is Hard Enough)" as well.
One of the best songs from the Ring Ring album! It has grown on me quite a lot during the past few years :)
I love it so dearly.
Dereck , as the same with "Arrival" , You are the first and only who did a reaction to these song too
"Another town, another train"
so nice and lovely song,
from the first álbum
"Ring Ring" (1973)
when They called themself:
"Björn & Benny ; Agnetha & Frida"
Björn did a beautifull lead voice
and Agnetha & Frida gives a fantastic harmonies in the chorus
I think is the same style as the future worldwide hit "Fernando"
I looooove this song it's so bittersweet
Hello Dereck,such a beautiful song.When i bought the album and heard this song,i immediately fell in love with Björn's voice.It was the same with Crazy World.It fells so good to listen to this song!Thank You for your reaction Dereck!💝😄🐬
Very early ABBA song that is not considered one of their greats but it is a catchy tune.
Housegods of mine ABBA and Queen.
Benny's absolute best shining moment on keys: the song which belongs to him: Intermezzo No 1! You have to react to this instrumental track
You’ve got your work cut out from November 5th! 8 more NEW ABBA songs to review! I suggest leave it a few days as us fans will be elsewhere listening to them for the 1st time!
Can't wait for those reactions!! 😍

German version: "Wer im Wartesaal der Liebe steht" ( Who´s standing in the waiting room of love). So sweet to hear them singing in german.
Does anyone else think Dereck is just so freakin cute? 😋🥰
Me. :)
Released as a single in USA, Japan, South Africa and Rhodesia (now known as Zimbabwe) in 1974. The German language version was on a single in Germany.
Haven't heard this one in a good 30 years. Yes, you MUST do Ring Ring,...ASAP please!
Like this early song from ABBA!
Ring Ring is very catchy :)
This is such a lovely song, a hidden jem ❤
This is song is very catchy. For all you hard core ABBA fans and new fans alone that would like to know more, I really really suggest reading BRight Lights, Dark Shadows book.

This song puts me in that happy/sad mood with a lump in my throat and stone in my stomach.
Thank you thank you thank you for reacting to this one , this is my absolute favourite of theirs . By the way knew you would love it !
Great song! Did you ever hear this song even before ABBA group existed?
Hej gamle man · Björn Ulvaeus · Benny Andersson

no

Another song I haven't heard in .. 45 years. Didn't even recognize it before the chorus!
ABBA in their early days, searching for their identity. there is definite influence of folk pop of late 60s. maybe even some Beatles' influence there.
This is their answer to "Leaving On A Jet Plane".
Try listening to 'Nina Pretty Ballerina' its one of ABBA's best songs and its beautiful so is 'Me And Bobby And Bobby's Brother'.
If you like so Nina Pretty Ballerina is the first try of Dancing Queen. It's a similar content in the lyrics.

Folk pop was big in the early 70's.

The highlight of this video are definitively the subtitles.The line "...nothing lost and nothing gained" becomes "....nothing less than nothing gay... ".great stuff,love it! :-))
Bridge over troubled waters is one of the most beautiful songs written and sung by Simon and Garfunkel
Thanks for the reaction! You'll have to check out Ring Ring itself at some point too!
Thank you! xxxxx
When you react to Ring Ring, react to the 1973 version, not the official video ;)
yes, the sax is too much
@@nickchristoforou7850 Completely, and kinda ruins it.
The flutes on that song are made with a keyboard, the Mellotron.

Try Summer night city or Chiquitita live at wembley
Yes it’s was playboy records..
Love it
Btw when you react to Ring Ring please don't use the remastered american version where the sax destroys the chorus
Soo true! The original -73 version is way much better. They added the sax and made a terrible remix on the -74 US version because it would sound a little bit like Waterloo.

@Niclas Eriksson That's the best explanation I've read on how to pronounce Björn's name.

Completely harmless.
