The United States citizens admire any beautiful Swedish female singer that they can locate. ABBA had the major responsibility of presenting two of these amazing women to this world. They performed for over a decade and were able to make all types of people get up and dance to their music.
History will always remember these four people as great artists who were able to inspire the world musically. The blonde bombshell of this group was Agnetha Faltskog and she is one lady who knows how to get everyone's attention. She is a native of Sweden and was raised in a very middle class family with no real connections to wealth. Her father was a store manager and her mother was a housewife.

The blonde bombshell of this group was Agnetha Faltskog and she is one lady who knows how to get everyone's attention. She is a native of Sweden and was raised in a very middle class family with no real connections to wealth. Her father was a store manager and her mother was a housewife.
Agnetha took many piano lessons and performed with her choir at church during every Sunday service. "The Cambers" was her very first musical group when she was only ten years old. Her group would always get a thrill out of performing for local events around her hometown and people really appreciated their talent. Unfortunately this amazing lady decided to leave school when she was only fifteen years old.
Singing was in her blood and she took every chance to learn the unique styles of other top performers. There were plenty of recordings by Lesley Gore, Aretha Franklin and the great Connie Francis in her room while she was growing up. She tried her best to style her music like each of these ladies.
Faltskog met Bjorn Ulvaeus in the late 60's and they began a torrid love affair that was very beneficial to them both. These two were married in 1971 and their union lasted for a short eight years. During this time they had two beautiful children together. Even though they decided to divorce in 1979 this duo still remained with the group ABBA until the end.
People everywhere know Frida Lyngstad as "Frida" since she took on this stage name decades earlier. Norway is her native land even though she was raised in Sweden. She had a German dad while her mother was Norwegian. Alfred Haase was her father's name and he served within the German military for quite a period of time. Frida's mother died at a very young age due to a severe illness.
Everyone around knew that her grandmother was a terrific music perso

Everyone around knew that her grandmother was a terrific music person who sang for local events. Frida always thought of her grandma as a great role model and she was sure to let the world know about this fact. On many television interviews she would mention her grandmother to the eager host. When she was thirteen Frida ended up performing with an orchestra. Her music endeavors would eventually lead her to Benny Andersson.
Benny was married to this Swedish female singer for several years before filing for a divorce. The couple was actually together for quite a period of time before marrying. Once ABBA was finished Frida found herself back on stage as a single act. "I Know There's Something Going On" was a big hit song for her in the 80's.
