@@jorgmechela9969 did you also ask for 'Gala-Abend der Schallplatte' from 1969? There must be something in the archives because there are other clips from that very show around.
@@gogobre8803 I asked for Gala Abend and Drehscheibe. No results. But it’s a few years ago. But maybe one could start a new round. Maybe if it has an official background TV stations are more open. The only results I got were TV appearances of Hootenanny Singers and The Hep Stars.
As a German fan, I am thrilled to hear that this is her wish!!! I LOVE her German material and would love to get a physical release of it, as well as the performances!!! I would say my personal favorites are "Geh mit Gott", "Ich denk an dich", "1000 Wunder" and "Komm doch zu mir"
I am convinced that I heard "Geh Mitt Gott" on Australian radio back when I was a child. When I got the German songs around 2000, I was thinking "I know this song already!" It has to have been when I was a child 🤔🙏💗
@@marikesl Yes I'm positive. I always have a strong memory for music. From my childhood I remember this song plus Kyu Sakamoto "Ye o muite arukou" which I still love, plus the nun who had a big hit with The Lord's Prayer, although I've forgotten her name 😄 I'll have to search her now
I am a teenager and I love Agnetha's solo artistic work. My favourite German song from her is Mein Schonster Tag. I do hope that this wish will come true!
Sign me up! I'd love something like this. I've always enjoyed all of her German language songs, and was surprised she didn't have more success there. She was such a megastar in Sweden at the time. And she had her German fiance to help "introduce" her. Though I'm sorry for his sake, I'm glad for the rest of us that she came back to Sweden and met Björn!
And she also sang one song more in German, as I know. But she never recorded it in a studio. She sang HOKUSPOKUS live for the Schlager contest in Germany, 1970. I’ve a part of this live performance. 🥰
I love her German songs, maybe because it’s my native language and I have almost all the singles. And I’m so happy, that she signed my copy from my favorite German song „Wie der Wind“. 💛
Me sumo a esta gran oportunidad y así cumplir el deseo de Agnetha de lograr que las 16 canciones grabadas en idioma alemán sean reeditadas y por supuesto también lleguen a mi país, Argentina. Gracias Bobby por darle difusión! Unamos fuerzas y difusión para cumplir este sueño. Abrazo. Clau Vivian❤❤
I've got a german CD release from 1994 and Japanese CD Release from 2002. Both sourced from the vinyl Singles. I'd buy an official rerelease of these songs on CD as a box set with a book of pictures, vinyl covers, recording dates, a DVD with clips that survived, maybe a recent interviev with Agnetha or a standalone CD or/and other Formates (Vinyl/Tape) IN A HEARTBEAT! ABBA is one of my all time favourite Bands since 1989! P.S.: An official Video anthology of her clips and TV Performances (english/swedish/german) would be s dream come true!
I’ve forward the link to this video to a guy I know who owns a record company that may be interested in this project. Here’s hoping! Great channel btw. I’m a lonnnnng time AꓭBA® fan and like to catch up with your videos.
It would be really wonderful if the master tapes of her German recordings could be found. You can always hope, can't you? I don't even like to think of getting a video clip of her performing on German TV - that would be just amazing! As for favourites of her German recordings, two songs come to my mind immediately: "Mein schönster Tag" and "Ich suchte Liebe bei dir". I think she sounds just wonderful on these two ballads. Quite amazing considering her young age and that it was a foreign language. Love her
We’ve not even got a DVD like was done for Frida in “Frida The DVD”, I think that would be a priority ahead of German songs which would be interesting but really would be aimed at a tiny market. Let’s get Agnetha The DVD and then maybe look at the periferias later.
Yes, I'd love that, too. All those music videos, performances and TV specials. For me, it's always the music that comes first, then visuals. And these recordings are so long overdue after almost 50 years.
I am so happy and feel blessed that we can all count on you for the truth and latest in ABBA news. I love Agnetha's Here For Your Love & Man. Thank you for your great efforts!
You are always such a wealth of information and I thank you so much for keeping us all informed or we would not know what was going on with her or Abba I am in the US and have never heard any of her German songs but I would definitely buy this if it thanks again Bobby for all that you do 😀

Let us make that Agnethas wish become true ❤️💙💛🙏🏽🌸 my Favorite of her German songs are: 1000 Wunder, geh mit Gott, komm doch zu mir, wie der Wind, ich denk an dich…
I’m coming in a little late on this conversation, but how I would LOVE a box set of these meaningful songs - GOODNESS - how I hope this comes to fruition❣️❣️❣️
Wow! I may be English but I adore her singing her songs in a different language. Obviously I don’t know what she’s singing about but that doesn’t matter to me. I just love the different songs and her voice is so beautiful and appealing. When here on TH-cam I remember her singing and the Swedish words were being shown. Well, I pronounced the words just like I saw them, and my mum(RIP) thought that I could speak Swedish! I told her a little bit of a “white lie” cos I murmured and said yes, I do know a bit of Swedish!!! Has anyone else done this or am I just a con- artist (if that’s the right word to use) and pretending I know Swedish when I basically don’t even know one word of it? ( But anyway, I thought it was fun)!!!🎉😂😮😢😊😅😇🙃🙃🙃🙏💕🌈 🌟🌟🌟🦮🦢🍀❤️ x
It would be great if we could get them all in German and Swedish along with Fridas Swedish songs in box set's with the lyrics printed in different languages.
As the chart positions for the Voyage and A+ albums have proven, ABBA / Agnetha have the most loyal fans over here. So a re-release of her german songs would absolutely make sense.
Getting a new release of these songs would be great! @Bobby's Brother: I suggest that Agnetha's one sentence quote wishing for someone to release these songs be put in the avatar picture for the video. It may gets more attention that way and possibly catch the eye of someone in the industry who might be in a position to help.
Of course I would love to have her German songs on CD or LP! Or imagine a 7'' singles box - a guy can dream.:) The original singles a hard to find and expensive, especially in good condition. To be honest her German songs for the most part were not as joyful and enchanting as her competitor France Gall's Schlager recordings, but Agnetha's angelic voice "sells" them anyway. That said "Ich suchte Liebe bei dir", "Geh mit Gott" und "Tausend Wunder" are actually beautiful! On the other hand "Ein kleiner Mann in einer Flasche" is hilarious, I wonder if she understood what she did there.:)
Ich bin erstaunt, was Agnetha auch schon damals alles gemacht hatte. Ich war damals noch zu jung um das wissen zu können. Wenn ich das Geld und die Beziehungen hätte, würde ich das glatt machen. Ich hoffe und wünsche mir, das es diese Box bald geben wird und ich bin sicher, das wird was. Die Zeiten werden sich jetzt radikal ändern und dann ist so eine gute Sache ein Kinderspiel. Wie gesagt, ich würde mich sehr freuen diese Lieder endlich einmal zu Gehör zu bekommen, da ich sie bis heute nicht gekannt habe. Viel Erfolg und alles Liebe und Gute und liebe Grüße und viel Gesundheit an Agnetha und auch alle anderen von ABBA.❤
I am English by birth but ive always loved Agnetha's music and her amazing talent in Abba and for her solo singing , id love it if there was a box set available of her german songs available
This is fantastic video reviw, thank you! I know Agnetha´s german singles, I like them very much. Komm doch zu mir is amazing.. Should be great to release it officially...
Hey Hey Bobby, that would be wonderful.Someone out there pick up the ball and go with this. . I’m surprised that it hasn’t been done yet. Maybe Agnetha could call the studio that produced them light a little fire under them 🇺🇸
Die alten deutschsprachigen Lieder sind ein wahrer Schatz und zaubern mir immer wieder ein Lächeln ins Gesicht. Unglaublich daß Agnetha damit kaum Erfolg hatte, denn qualitativ sind diese Stücke mindestens genauso gut wie alles andere was zu jener Zeit in diesem Genre erschienen ist. Eine Neuveröffentlichung wäre wirklich wünschenswert und sicher eine kleine Sensation! 👍
Well, definitively, YES! And as a German, I feel somewhat proud of her German contribution! Today, also the quality of those dated tracks can be much improved ! And perhaps a few remixes would be a great addition! You did a fabulous research!! 🥰🥰
I already have the full-CD ('94 Label: Royal, and you can still buy it; and mine needs replacement because I listened so much to it some tracks have interrupments (LOL)) with the end '60s German songs from back then via the ABBA-FANCLUB, and was titled "Geh mit Gott" (and is ALSO one of the German TRACKS on the CD, and the MELODY of Geh mit Gott is EXACTLY THE SAME AS a very well-known song from 71 by JOAN BAEZ (RIP) and ENNIO MORRICONE (RIP) with as title "Here's to you" (and are findable on TH-cam) and are the composers. Who's the writer of the melody -Agnetha or Ennio or John Baez, or someone else;I don't know 100% sure). The full-CD has a PIC of Agnetha's face in a medaillon as cover, AND I also am lucky to have all German vinyl sngles, dating from the end of the sixties. These are VERY RARE TO FIND. The Geh mit Gott song and the songs 'Wie der Wind' and Komm doch zu mir and Ich denk an dich are imo not "schlager" but ballads, but the others are schlager, like a.o..Concerto d'Amore (=Italian trackname !) or Ein kleine Mann in eine Flassche or Wer screibt heut noch Liebesbriefe.. NEW FOR ME (!) HOWEVER IS what you tell about the NON-RELEASED (!) Hokuspokus-song and the several non released songs in German, you mention. A Box set with the 16 first German songs + the hokus-pokussong, AND these several unreleased German songs would be a HISTORICAL RELEASE, because it would be 6 or 7 more German songs we don't know yet !!! I can only say : thank you Agnetha for these plans of bringing the already released and the not ever earlier released (!) German songs of '69 in a box-set. Hopefully with the lyrics (and maybe english translation of the lyrics) in an added booklet, and a DVD as you propose, Bobby's Brother.7 songs we didn't know yet, awesome ! It's nearly as good as 7 ABBA songs of the 70s, that would be found somewhere in a draw and would be released after more then 50 years. WOW !!
I add something else about the "Geh mit Gott-song". The song "Here's to you" with the same melody by Joan Baez and Ennio Morricone (1971) has also an a bit longer title : "Here's to you, Nicola and Bart". Who are Nicola and Bart ??? It are historical persons of the 1920's. It were 2 Italians who emigrated to the US. They were kinda anarchistic, and were later even sentenced in ERROR to death. ANYHOW : You can find documentaries about Nicola and Bart, or better with their full names "Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Venzetti" on TH-cam (these names are also on the SLEEVE of the "Geh mit Gott"-vinyl single if Agnetha. If Agnetha isn't the composer of the Geh mit Gott-song one wonders why she took that melody, and on the vinyl-single-sleeve there's referral to these famous anarchists and the story about them. There are even trailers and a documentary about the lives of Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Venzetti and one of the docus is here : watch?v=nQfHHixlGrI ! And nobody else then the grreek Georges Moustaki played a French--Spanish version watch?v=nzyEPbxvBlA with the Berlin Orchestra , and MIREILLE MATTHIEU (!) made a FULL FRENCH version, of Here's to you, Nicola and Bart findable on youtube watch?v=SWM6gvFBWiE . (She also made a French version of "The winner takes it all", with as French title "Bravo tu as gagné" , which translates into english in 'Bravo, you have won' also findable on TH-cam watch?v=GzszhYf29WE !) . The group "IL VOLO" who became 2nd or 3rd for Italy on Eurovision Song Contest of some years ago ARE in their recent concert also singing "Here's to you" (also findable on TH-cam : watch?v=FP7_9Wmx9iI ). Who likes electronic keyboard and acoustic guitar, do listen to this youtuber : watch?v=kO2pTfUGF8I , and following version has already 4,6 million views : watch?v=vp420cZZ0c4 . ANYHOW : I would LIKE IT EXTREMELY MUCH IF AGNETHA WOULD RECORD ANOTHER TIME "Geh mit Gott", but the english version "Here's to you", or even BETTER an english translation of "Geh mit God", so "Go with God".
@@Stevend2be "Here's To You" was from the original soundtrack of "Sacco & Vanzetti", movie released in 1971. The song was composed by Morricone and became really popular and a hit for Joan Baez. I guess that's why the producers decided to make a German version recorded by Agnetha. The reference on the single sleeve is about the movie. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Here%27s_to_You_(song)
And I never knew that she was on German TV in that era! I remember the "ZDF Drehscheibe", in 1980 they were the first to play "The Winner Takes It All" video clip - unforgettable.:)
I had no idea that Agnetha recorded in the famous Hansa studio! It’s amazing that the German songs aren’t easily available. Definitely time to do something about that.
Would love to have it collected in one box, what a great idea. By the way… I wasn‘t aware that its 16 songs snd perhaps some more in the archive. Great Idea, as I love those late 60th sound of her so much. Grüße aus Hannover von Frank 😂
Hi and yes please do release a cd with all I would buy the cd as Agnetha is a great lady I do love all she recorded and I will buy it now I want a copy please do it and thank you hi Agnetha ❤️ please do thank u hugs ❤️
A wonderful idea! I got all her German singles and the „Geh‘ mit Gott“ CD. I love her later German songs. I fear that an official release will not happen as they probably can’t find the master tapes and because of problems with the rights. But you never know…
@@gogobre8803 Oh!how on earth did this escaped me?%#@!!! Well i know he praised Abba in an interview later years but didn't know about him reffering to Agnetha nor that he had produced this since i didn't have access on her Swedish solo stuff back then.I wish i knew more,thanx a lot for your precious infos.
@@alexioverdo5225 Moroder in 2019: "Oh my God! The songs that I produced with her in Berlin were totally different to the later Abba-songs. Anyway, it was a disaster back then: a German producer had brought her to Berlin from Sweden and wanted her to sing schlager-songs in German. And I recorded one or two songs with her. Nothing came of it. I later heard that she hated singing in German. Quite a weird thing. I couldn't really understand why a Swedish woman singing in German should be successful. Although she is a very good singer."
It's always said that the original tapes are lost. But on the double CD "My Love My Life" from 1997 there is a crystal clear version of "Sonny Boy", so they cannot all be lost. Has someone already really started to search for them in the archives? I don't think so.
I sure would love if that happened, I'd sure buy that cd or box. A friend of mine have one of those cds which he lent me and I ripped the songs and have them on an external hard drive. But wouldn't it be wonderful to have the German songs she recorded on a cd in immaculate quality?! And I heard her on a youtube Abba clip speak some German, so I've wondered if she speaks German too? Let's get this idea in motion!
Agnetha understands german. Back in her days swedish pupils learned german as first language. Maybe she cant speak it nowadays. But in the early days she did. she even lived a few months in Berlin 1968.
Wow, that is about 55 years ago! I guess there must be someone who is connected to the roots of Agnetha's material as of relatives and friends from Dieter Zimmermann ( he died in 1978)...
You mention german tv performances, but what I find strange is that there are hardly any tv performances of 60s Agnetha at all .. She must have been performing some of her "svensktoppen" hits at one point, in sweden, ingront of a camera. Considering how many top charting songs she released in the period before ABBA (1967-72). Very good channel you got by the way😜
That's a good point and very true. It's bizarre that there is next to nothing of Agnetha on Swedish TV from that period. Whenever Agnetha (and Frida) were on TV in these early years, they would record and perform "exclusive" songs, for example on the 1969 TV special where Agnetha met Björn. There are at least a handful of TV performances listed on abbaontv.com, with Agnetha performing some of her songs, but nothing seems to have survived or left the archives since. It would be mind-blowing to see that footage. Thanks for the nice feedback for my channel!
People from the industry have been searching for the master tapes as late as a few years ago. Unfortunately, the search was not successful. However, I have a feeling that Micke B. Tretow may have an idea as he has previously pointed to where masters were to be found.
A luxury boxset release in early 2025 would be very nice and keep me going after the potential release of a luxury boxset of ABBA material in 2024! (Here's hoping)
How about this: since the master tapes are missing, why not sing them again, in either German or English? She composed the music, so there would be no problem. I think English versions would sell. These are good songs!
@@bobbysbrother137That must what nostalgia does to you, remember the good aspects and forget about the negativ ones. Like the fact that most the german songs are so bad it hurts. Except her own compositions those songs are german schlager of the worst kind. To me as a german lifetime ABBA-Fan they are actually embarrassing.
it be good that all Agnethas music that was sung in Swedish and German be great if they recorded in English so the English speaking audience can hear the lyrics too
Even if the original mastertapes are lost, with today's technology they can work wonders. Just listen to the "new" Beatles song, where John Lennon's voice was lifted from an old cassette and was washed digitally. The same can be done with old vinyl records.
I don't think I have heard any of these songs It would be wonderful if a box set was made If the Beatles can release a new song from an old tape using AI I am sure a good quality CD using that could be made from the vinyl recordings if the master tapes cannot be found.
Honestly, musically it's just a fan collector interest because it's her worst material except the classic great song (originally sung by Joan Baez) "Geh mit Gott" and few ballads as "Wie der Wind" or "Mein schönster Tag". A nice graphic box of vinyls containing a reprint of all her singles both swedish & german could satisfy a die hard fan but otherwise, it's sill easy to find them to listen once; I really doubt that the unrealeased songs could be very much interesting. We are very far from the level quality of songs made by Frida. But maybe the germans would have another point of view as it's a possibility to listen her voice in their own language, as I appreciate to listen sometimes the french unique version of Waterloo.
I share your opinion and I'm german. The songs are german schlager of the worst kind. Understanding the lyrics doesn't help at all. To me most of those songs are embarassing.
As far as i know Agnetha wasn't happy at the time with her German attempts.She was disapointed with the material so returned to Sweden.But it''ll be a monumental collection for fan collectors to get them all gathered.Inmo it's all part of her progress.
they are just putting out anything now, the museum, voyage merchandise is all so tacky, they are just milking it for what they can get , ABBA has really sold out, re-released LP's with coloured singles, picture singles , a full range of cassettes , VOYAGE merchandise is horrible and so over done, its gonna be like KISS put a name on it and just put it out there........ $$$$$$. Money, Money, Money, Milk MILK MILK !!
Hello BB. While I appreciate the educational part of this video, I have no interest in ABBA or their solo work in any language other than their native Swedish or English. But that's just my opinion. If others are interested, good for them. 👍
I don't know if you have listened to them, but if not, you should definitely listen to some of Agnetha's German ballads. Two examples: "Mein schönster Tag", and "Ich suchte Liebe bei dir". I don't think you want to miss them. For me, it was always the great thing about ABBA and their members, that they manage to cross language-barriers - the language doesn't matter, in the end. You don't even have to understand a word, their voices lead you through emotions.
@@bobbysbrother137 Hello again BB. I'm sure they sound beautiful. I love ABBA and their pre ABBA songs in Swedish even though I don't understand Swedish. But it's easy for me to accept because they are Swedish. I know I would like anything Agnetha sings, but I don't think I'm their target customer for German.
Agnetha ist so talentiert als Sängerin, Komponistin und Produzentin. Was für eine tolle und wunderschöne Frau!
Absolutely love to see old video footage of Agnetha performing in Germany..
I asked TV stations in the past years. No signs of performances by Agnetha. 😢
@@jorgmechela9969 did you also ask for 'Gala-Abend der Schallplatte' from 1969? There must be something in the archives because there are other clips from that very show around.

That would be amazingly cool to see this!!! Was aware of this but have not heard them in years!!!
Abba was one of my favourite groups way back in Nigeria. Great band. They should be able to find it. German system is very organised.
Of course I would love to have her German songs on CD or LP! Or imagine a 7'' singles box - a guy can dream.:) The original singles a hard to find and expensive, especially in good condition. To be honest her German songs for the most part were not as joyful and enchanting as her competitor France Gall's Schlager recordings, but Agnetha's angelic voice "sells" them anyway. That said "Ich suchte Liebe bei dir", "Geh mit Gott" und "Tausend Wunder" are actually beautiful! On the other hand "Ein kleiner Mann in einer Flasche" is hilarious, I wonder if she understood what she did there.:)
Ich bin erstaunt, was Agnetha auch schon damals alles gemacht hatte. Ich war damals noch zu jung um das wissen zu können.
Wenn ich das Geld und die Beziehungen hätte, würde ich das glatt machen. Ich hoffe und wünsche mir, das es diese Box bald geben wird und ich bin sicher, das wird was. Die Zeiten werden sich jetzt radikal ändern und dann ist so eine gute Sache ein Kinderspiel.
Wie gesagt, ich würde mich sehr freuen diese Lieder endlich einmal zu Gehör zu bekommen, da ich sie bis heute nicht gekannt habe.
Viel Erfolg und alles Liebe und Gute und liebe Grüße und viel Gesundheit an Agnetha und auch alle anderen von ABBA.❤
I am English by birth but ive always loved Agnetha's music and her amazing talent in Abba and for her solo singing , id love it if there was a box set available of her german songs available
I would love to hear these songs please someone in Germany make Agnetha dream come true
This is fantastic video reviw, thank you! I know Agnetha´s german singles, I like them very much. Komm doch zu mir is amazing.. Should be great to release it officially...
Hey Hey Bobby, that would be wonderful.Someone out there pick up the ball and go with this. . I’m surprised that it hasn’t been done yet.
Maybe Agnetha could call the studio that produced them light a little fire under them 🇺🇸
Die alten deutschsprachigen Lieder sind ein wahrer Schatz und zaubern mir immer wieder ein Lächeln ins Gesicht. Unglaublich daß Agnetha damit kaum Erfolg hatte, denn qualitativ sind diese Stücke mindestens genauso gut wie alles andere was zu jener Zeit in diesem Genre erschienen ist. Eine Neuveröffentlichung wäre wirklich wünschenswert und sicher eine kleine Sensation! 👍
Oh, I would love this
Well, definitively, YES! And as a German, I feel somewhat proud of her German contribution! Today, also the quality of those dated tracks can be much improved ! And perhaps a few remixes would be a great addition!
You did a fabulous research!! 🥰🥰
Давно жду видеоколлекцию на двд) У Фриды она уже вышла👍
I already have the full-CD ('94 Label: Royal, and you can still buy it; and mine needs replacement because I listened so much to it some tracks have interrupments (LOL)) with the end '60s German songs from back then via the ABBA-FANCLUB, and was titled "Geh mit Gott" (and is ALSO one of the German TRACKS on the CD, and the MELODY of Geh mit Gott is EXACTLY THE SAME AS a very well-known song from 71 by JOAN BAEZ (RIP) and ENNIO MORRICONE (RIP) with as title "Here's to you" (and are findable on TH-cam) and are the composers. Who's the writer of the melody -Agnetha or Ennio or John Baez, or someone else;I don't know 100% sure). The full-CD has a PIC of Agnetha's face in a medaillon as cover, AND I also am lucky to have all German vinyl sngles, dating from the end of the sixties. These are VERY RARE TO FIND. The Geh mit Gott song and the songs 'Wie der Wind' and Komm doch zu mir and Ich denk an dich are imo not "schlager" but ballads, but the others are schlager, like a.o..Concerto d'Amore (=Italian trackname !) or Ein kleine Mann in eine Flassche or Wer screibt heut noch Liebesbriefe.. NEW FOR ME (!) HOWEVER IS what you tell about the NON-RELEASED (!) Hokuspokus-song and the several non released songs in German, you mention. A Box set with the 16 first German songs + the hokus-pokussong, AND these several unreleased German songs would be a HISTORICAL RELEASE, because it would be 6 or 7 more German songs we don't know yet !!! I can only say : thank you Agnetha for these plans of bringing the already released and the not ever earlier released (!) German songs of '69 in a box-set. Hopefully with the lyrics (and maybe english translation of the lyrics) in an added booklet, and a DVD as you propose, Bobby's Brother.7 songs we didn't know yet, awesome ! It's nearly as good as 7 ABBA songs of the 70s, that would be found somewhere in a draw and would be released after more then 50 years. WOW !!
I add something else about the "Geh mit Gott-song". The song "Here's to you" with the same melody by Joan Baez and Ennio Morricone (1971) has also an a bit longer title : "Here's to you, Nicola and Bart". Who are Nicola and Bart ??? It are historical persons of the 1920's. It were 2 Italians who emigrated to the US. They were kinda anarchistic, and were later even sentenced in ERROR to death. ANYHOW : You can find documentaries about Nicola and Bart, or better with their full names "Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Venzetti" on TH-cam (these names are also on the SLEEVE of the "Geh mit Gott"-vinyl single if Agnetha. If Agnetha isn't the composer of the Geh mit Gott-song one wonders why she took that melody, and on the vinyl-single-sleeve there's referral to these famous anarchists and the story about them. There are even trailers and a documentary about the lives of Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Venzetti and one of the docus is here : watch?v=nQfHHixlGrI ! And nobody else then the grreek Georges Moustaki played a French--Spanish version watch?v=nzyEPbxvBlA with the Berlin Orchestra , and MIREILLE MATTHIEU (!) made a FULL FRENCH version, of Here's to you, Nicola and Bart findable on youtube watch?v=SWM6gvFBWiE . (She also made a French version of "The winner takes it all", with as French title "Bravo tu as gagné" , which translates into english in 'Bravo, you have won' also findable on TH-cam watch?v=GzszhYf29WE !) . The group "IL VOLO" who became 2nd or 3rd for Italy on Eurovision Song Contest of some years ago ARE in their recent concert also singing "Here's to you" (also findable on TH-cam : watch?v=FP7_9Wmx9iI ). Who likes electronic keyboard and acoustic guitar, do listen to this youtuber : watch?v=kO2pTfUGF8I , and following version has already 4,6 million views : watch?v=vp420cZZ0c4 . ANYHOW : I would LIKE IT EXTREMELY MUCH IF AGNETHA WOULD RECORD ANOTHER TIME "Geh mit Gott", but the english version "Here's to you", or even BETTER an english translation of "Geh mit God", so "Go with God".
@@Stevend2be "Here's To You" was from the original soundtrack of "Sacco & Vanzetti", movie released in 1971. The song was composed by Morricone and became really popular and a hit for Joan Baez. I guess that's why the producers decided to make a German version recorded by Agnetha. The reference on the single sleeve is about the movie. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Here%27s_to_You_(song)
@@Stevend2be By the way, the italian group who reached 2nd place in Eurovision 2015 was IL VOLO (Il Divo is a different act).
@@fabiodeluca4816 You're right it was IL VOLO. I corrected this now in my message above (teh 2nd message). Thanks for pointing this mistake out.
And I never knew that she was on German TV in that era! I remember the "ZDF Drehscheibe", in 1980 they were the first to play "The Winner Takes It All" video clip - unforgettable.:)
I had no idea these songs existed. Would be great to have them brought together as a new collection.
I had no idea that Agnetha recorded in the famous Hansa studio! It’s amazing that the German songs aren’t easily available. Definitely time to do something about that.
This would be a fantastic release.
Certamente sarebbe un valore aggiunto a questa fantastica icona pop un omaggio in più alla sua meravigliosa carriera .
Hallo Bobby, ich habe eine limitierte CD. Mein Lieblinglied -Komm doch zu mir. Geh mit Gott und Mein schönster Tag, sind auch sehr schön. 😊
This would be great, love all the recordings in german,👍❤ my favorites are Komm doch zu mir and Ein kleiner mann
Would love to have it collected in one box, what a great idea. By the way… I wasn‘t aware that its 16 songs snd perhaps some more in the archive. Great Idea, as I love those late 60th sound of her so much.
Grüße aus Hannover von Frank 😂
Hi and yes please do release a cd with all I would buy the cd as Agnetha is a great lady I do love all she recorded and I will buy it now I want a copy please do it and thank you hi Agnetha ❤️ please do thank u hugs ❤️
Thumbnail features an angel.
Oh Yes, Please!
Komm Doch Zumir is awesome
A wonderful idea! I got all her German singles and the „Geh‘ mit Gott“ CD. I love her later German songs. I fear that an official release will not happen as they probably can’t find the master tapes and because of problems with the rights. But you never know…
Ennio Moriccione's 'Geh mit Gott' my fave.And btw 'Robinson Crusoe" was written by none other than legendary Giorgio Moroder.
Moroder even produced the single and talked about the collaboration in an interview a couple of years ago
@@gogobre8803 Oh!how on earth did this escaped me?%#@!!!
Well i know he praised Abba in an interview later years but didn't know about him reffering to Agnetha nor that he had produced this since i didn't have access on her Swedish solo stuff back then.I wish i knew more,thanx a lot for your precious infos.
@@alexioverdo5225 Moroder in 2019: "Oh my God! The songs that I produced with her in Berlin were totally different to the later Abba-songs. Anyway, it was a disaster back then: a German producer had brought her to Berlin from Sweden and wanted her to sing schlager-songs in German. And I recorded one or two songs with her. Nothing came of it. I later heard that she hated singing in German. Quite a weird thing. I couldn't really understand why a Swedish woman singing in German should be successful. Although she is a very good singer."
@@gogobre8803 Thanx,. you lovely!😊
Someone surely can see the benefit of researching this!!!
It's always said that the original tapes are lost. But on the double CD "My Love My Life" from 1997 there is a crystal clear version of "Sonny Boy", so they cannot all be lost. Has someone already really started to search for them in the archives? I don't think so.
Agnetha ist eine wunderbare Sängerin.
Ein kleiner Mann in einer Flasche and Geh mit Gott (cover from Joan Baez "here´s to you" hit), my favourites
I sure would love if that happened, I'd sure buy that cd or box. A friend of mine have one of those cds which he lent me and I ripped the songs and have them on an external hard drive. But wouldn't it be wonderful to have the German songs she recorded on a cd in immaculate quality?! And I heard her on a youtube Abba clip speak some German, so I've wondered if she speaks German too? Let's get this idea in motion!
Agnetha understands german. Back in her days swedish pupils learned german as first language. Maybe she cant speak it nowadays. But in the early days she did. she even lived a few months in Berlin 1968.
Wow, that is about 55 years ago! I guess there must be someone who is connected to the roots of Agnetha's material as of relatives and friends from Dieter Zimmermann ( he died in 1978)...
You mention german tv performances, but what I find strange is that there are hardly any tv performances of 60s Agnetha at all .. She must have been performing some of her "svensktoppen" hits at one point, in sweden, ingront of a camera. Considering how many top charting songs she released in the period before ABBA (1967-72). Very good channel you got by the way😜
That's a good point and very true. It's bizarre that there is next to nothing of Agnetha on Swedish TV from that period. Whenever Agnetha (and Frida) were on TV in these early years, they would record and perform "exclusive" songs, for example on the 1969 TV special where Agnetha met Björn. There are at least a handful of TV performances listed on abbaontv.com, with Agnetha performing some of her songs, but nothing seems to have survived or left the archives since. It would be mind-blowing to see that footage. Thanks for the nice feedback for my channel!
@@bobbysbrother137 Perhaps like the BBC they wiped master tapes to reuse which is why many of our early recordings of programmes were sadly lost.
👏💞
People from the industry have been searching for the master tapes as late as a few years ago. Unfortunately, the search was not successful. However, I have a feeling that Micke B. Tretow may have an idea as he has previously pointed to where masters were to be found.
A luxury boxset release in early 2025 would be very nice and keep me going after the potential release of a luxury boxset of ABBA material in 2024! (Here's hoping)
How about this: since the master tapes are missing, why not sing them again, in either German or English? She composed the music, so there would be no problem. I think English versions would sell. These are good songs!
💌
there is also at least one unreleased song in German! "Hocus Poscus"Hopefully it will be released...
I hope her every success in her Sherman songs
Hello BB)Support❤❤❤
I always thought she hated those German songs 😂 I must have read that somewhere. I do like them very much
I was surprised, too, about her recent positive statements!
That positive view seems to be due to the distance she gained with age. In ABBA's days she didn't like the songs at all
@@bobbysbrother137That must what nostalgia does to you, remember the good aspects and forget about the negativ ones. Like the fact that most the german songs are so bad it hurts. Except her own compositions those songs are german schlager of the worst kind. To me as a german lifetime ABBA-Fan they are actually embarrassing.
it be good that all Agnethas music that was sung in Swedish and German be great if they recorded in English so the English speaking audience can hear the lyrics too
Even if the original mastertapes are lost, with today's technology they can work wonders. Just listen to the "new" Beatles song, where John Lennon's voice was lifted from an old cassette and was washed digitally. The same can be done with old vinyl records.
I don't think I have heard any of these songs It would be wonderful if a box set was made If the Beatles can release a new song from an old tape using AI I am sure a good quality CD using that could be made from the vinyl recordings if the master tapes cannot be found.
🐦⬛
Her boyfriend was German, so I'm guessing that helped
Honestly, musically it's just a fan collector interest because it's her worst material except the classic great song (originally sung by Joan Baez) "Geh mit Gott" and few ballads as "Wie der Wind" or "Mein schönster Tag". A nice graphic box of vinyls containing a reprint of all her singles both swedish & german could satisfy a die hard fan but otherwise, it's sill easy to find them to listen once; I really doubt that the unrealeased songs could be very much interesting. We are very far from the level quality of songs made by Frida. But maybe the germans would have another point of view as it's a possibility to listen her voice in their own language, as I appreciate to listen sometimes the french unique version of Waterloo.
I share your opinion and I'm german. The songs are german schlager of the worst kind. Understanding the lyrics doesn't help at all. To me most of those songs are embarassing.
As far as i know Agnetha wasn't happy at the time with her German attempts.She was disapointed with the material so returned to Sweden.But it''ll be a monumental collection for fan collectors to get them all gathered.Inmo it's all part of her progress.
they are just putting out anything now, the museum, voyage merchandise is all so tacky, they are just milking it for what they can get , ABBA has really sold out, re-released LP's with coloured singles, picture singles , a full range of cassettes , VOYAGE merchandise is horrible and so over done, its gonna be like KISS put a name on it and just put it out there........ $$$$$$. Money, Money, Money, Milk MILK MILK !!
Hello BB. While I appreciate the educational part of this video, I have no interest in ABBA or their solo work in any language other than their native Swedish or English. But that's just my opinion. If others are interested, good for them. 👍
I don't know if you have listened to them, but if not, you should definitely listen to some of Agnetha's German ballads. Two examples: "Mein schönster Tag", and "Ich suchte Liebe bei dir". I don't think you want to miss them. For me, it was always the great thing about ABBA and their members, that they manage to cross language-barriers - the language doesn't matter, in the end. You don't even have to understand a word, their voices lead you through emotions.
@@bobbysbrother137 Hello again BB. I'm sure they sound beautiful. I love ABBA and their pre ABBA songs in Swedish even though I don't understand Swedish. But it's easy for me to accept because they are Swedish. I know I would like anything Agnetha sings, but I don't think I'm their target customer for German.
I downloaded this I shall put it on Instagram and Facebook what a fantastic idea it would be great for Frida to do one too♥️🥰
