The Swedish ensemble ABBA, thanks to its impeccable style, hard work and talent, has turned into a brilliant legend of the last century, which, however, does not dim and now.
Singers and songwriters Benny Anderson and Björn Ulvaeus met in 1966, which can be considered the beginning of everything. Then there were the first joint work, acquaintance with the professional singer Anni-Frid Ljungstad, the invitation of Agneta Feltskog, but they all began to sing together only in 1970. In November of the seventieth there was the birth of the group ABBA.
A significant first success of the ABBA quartet was the song Ring Ring (1973). With the same name was their first album, sold in Europe (in 4 languages). Next year, he won the Eurovision Song Contest with the song Waterloo. A parade of hits and victories followed. 1977 seems to be the most successful year at climbing to the top of fame. 8 albums of the group in the top charts in Europe, 3 "golden" albums in the United States and there the "platinum" album "ABBA - The Album".
The quartet is known today, mainly because in 1992 there was a reissue of the most successful hits called ABBA-esque. In addition, the interest of the public to the bright creativity of the ensemble returned. Since then, there have been attempts by band members to perform again, but, unfortunately, relatively unsuccessful. They were completely interrupted in 2000. /
