Excellent harmonies. ABBA is among the very best when it comes to vocal harmony.

@LyricalSteeler

The best vocal harmonies to ever come outta Sweden, for sure. There is a current modern day contender in an sisterly duo from Stockholm: First Aid Kit. Their vocal harmonies are the best i know of in today's music scene. They shine when live on stage. First Aid Kit live at Polar Music Prize is what i would suggest for people that want to check them out for the first time:)

The Swedish hard rock/heavy metal(with heavy pop sorcery elements) band Ghost has an discography with songs that are almost all catchy (and great) and often reeks of ABBA influence. Many good ballads. Ghost's latest album Impera is even recorded in ABBA's old studio and features instruments ABBA used like the piano in Money, Money, Money:) I recommend new listeners that like Abba check out songs like Mary on a Cross, Spillways, Bible, He Is, Zenith, Cerice, Call Me Little Sunshine etc..

These two ladies were equally beautiful and talented. They had swagger and attitude but they were humble and gracious to each other and the rest of the world. They would pass the torch to each other every other song but they didn't let personal egos overshadow each other. They complimented each other perfectly and their harmonies were powerful and uplifting.

@danbike9

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Anni-Frid, though was the model. During her EMI Sweden and TV days, 1967-1972, she drew lots of attention for her looks and fit body and started modeling.

Re: vocal talent and stage talent
Anni-Frid is the one that garner's respect from the music community, past and present.

She was identified in grade school her vocal talent.

In 1956 she took to the stage after being elected Children's Day Princess.

She swept the talent hunts.

From 1956-1958 she was on stage performing in lots of charity events. In 1958, she turned pro, age 13, when she became "legal".
She had already earned respect from music pro's and they hired her as soon as possible. Frida at age 13, was making her own way. Fronting bands and orchestras, too include 'Anni-Frid Four' / 'Anni-Frid & Gunnar Trio', 1963-1966.

Frida has won best vocalist awards as a child, pre-teen, teen and adult. In 1964 she won a national level best vocalist award. In 1967, her big break - National Best Vocalist, which she appeared on National TV hours after her win.

She became known nationally for her stage and TV performances.

Re: Agnetha
She actually started her music ambition as a writer. Pre-teen she decided to become a singer.

She became Nationally known, not from stage or vocal awards, but via a record label. She was a record label generated pop star.

In her teens she had fronted a local band. She graduated HS and took a job as a phone operator at a car dealership.

Meantime a record label heard a tape of the band she was with...and Agnetha had a vocal on the same tape. The record label thought she had a nice voice... He contacted her and cut a record.... This is how her pop career started, record label generated and marketed pop star.
______

For ABBA's background and how they become a foursome, read:

ABBA: Bright Lights Dark Shadows
The Real Story of ABBA
by Carl Magnus Palm **

The girls vocal abilities are discussed. Frida gets lots of attention and praise from the ABBA team and her peers that goes back to her grade school days.

Benny, Bjorn and Michael Tretow -- ABBA's engineer, considered Frida a master vocalist.

** Carl is ABBA's historian. He knows more about them than anybody else on Earth.

Strong emotion, harmony, determination, professionalism, without commercial fireworks: automatic synchronization, etc. This is real, real music! I love you, ABBA!

@rodneybaer4324

The focus back then was on the quality of the SONG and the MUSIC. Even MTV had not yet been discovered when ABBA did their videos....or whatever people would call it back then. They were just very simple and basic skits or images to go along with the song. Years later it became officially called videos. Each ABBA song was its own little musical masterpiece. The guys wrote the songs and the girls sang them to perfection. And it was done for the love of the music. Now today....well...it's an entirely different game for an entirely different world. I'm so grateful my parents introduced me to ABBA at around age 10 or 11. In just over a month I will be 53 and still loving these people and their music. And I've been absolutely thrilled to pieces (and in tears) over their present return! How absolutely wonderful!!

@WingsQ

@@rodneybaer4324 I know perfectly well what years you are talking about and what kind of music you are referring to. For me, ABBA is associated in my soul with the most beautiful memories related to a beautiful friendship from my teenage years when everything was pure and undefiled. ABBA has opened the door to a new world, a unique, valuable, unrepeatable universe ...

@rodneybaer4324

Their choice to "cone back" is genius because, like with everything else, they do it with their heart and with CLASS. Knowing ABBA and having followed them as I've been since age 11, (I'm now almost 53!!) this return has absolutely nothing to do with money $$$ or attention. They're doing it because they're artists...and old age doesn't change that. And like Benny and Bjorn already stated...they felt they had something to say...and something more to give. They may be ultra modest and humbled by their own success...maybe even a little dumbfounded by their own popularity....but they also damn well know how much they are loved and missed. They've never tried to be anything other than ABBA. They are as original and one-of-kind now as they were in the mid 70's and into the very early 80'. Those two amazing men are gifted writers and musicians. And a true writer never stops writing and a true musician never stops playing. Even when people stop listening. Don't expect so terribly much out of the new songs. They are both unique and outstanding songs....but it's in the original tradition of ABBA. And that's part of why we love them so much...even after all these many years. I am so very excited, grateful and emotionally moved over all of this. The past 3 days have been exhilarating as I listen to and observe everything ABBA. This is literally a global event in terms of music. I've never experienced anything quite like this. For one of the very few times in my life....I don't feel so alone. And I am so very happy for ABBA that this RETURN has been so well received!!

@bennyandersson2410

Hello

@rodneybaer4324

@@bennyandersson2410 Hello to you!! Thank you for the MUSIC!! I am most grateful 🙏. I visited ABBA: The Museum in April or May of 2013...when it first opened. Spent 11 wonderful days/nights at Hotel Rival!!! I truly loved my experience in Stockholm more than any other city I have ever visited! I sincerely hope to return one day soon. I love everything Swedish! I have owned 4 Volvo automobiles over the past 20 years. I presently drive my favorite Volvo...a 2018 S90 T-6 AWD. Volvo is the only car I will ever own. I also love Swedish meatballs. And Absolut Vodka. The only Swedish thing I'm not sure I like too much...to be quite honest....is the IKEA furniture. I have already pre-ordered two ABBA Voyage cd's and an ABBA Voyage sweater. And I really want so much to visit Stockholm again. But it's an expensive $$$ trip. And I will most certainly stay at Hotel Rival. I loved the location and my room and the wonderful food at the restaurant....especially the breakfast buffet each morning. I cannot thank you enough and I am so very humbled and so very grateful. All the best to all of you and your families. Sincerely, Rodney Baer in Los Angeles. Rodneyhb68@yahoo.com

@AMindInOverdrive

Where I'm from, there were phases where ABBA was cool, then not cool, then they became cool again - But recently I realized that ABBA NEVER stopped being cool - It''s US who were not cool enough to appreciate ABBA!

@FernieCanto

Absolutely true, friend! I think the disco backlash is one of the stupidest moments in the USA's cultural history, and it hurt not only ABBA, but many others such as the Bee Gees (who also never stopped being cool).
I always keep hoping that the people who know them only for Dancing Queen will eventually find out all their other songs. Dancing Queen is an eternal classic, but they have so many more incredible songs that deserve to be known!
