Frida Lyngstad


Well here's the final part of "Post ABBA"... this part is about Frida or Anni-Frid Lyngstad. The song I have for you today isn't from the mid or late 80's, but it's a song ABBA recorded shortly before they broke up. The main singer in here is Frida, and ABBA recorded it May 8th, 1982. The title of this song is "I Am The City", and here's the link... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=siZBifYSBqE . I hope you guys like it.

CHESS


"CHESS" was a musical from 1984, with lyrics written by Tim Rice and music by Benny & Bjorn. This play involves a romantic triangle btw 2 players in a (hint, hint) chess championship. And a woman who manages one and falls in love with the other. The theatrical version of "CHESS" opened in London's West End in 1986, which this version played for 3 yrs. A much edited version opened on Broadway in 1988. The Broadway version wasn't liked to much by critics. America just wasn't ready for an European musical. Here's a video clip of the beginning of "CHESS"... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fyg0h6tk-MM . I hope you guys like it.

POST ABBA


"Post ABBA" is going to be the second of the ABBA mini series here on ABBA-Fanclub. Well, the ABBA member I'm going to start this series out with is Agnetha. Since 1983, Agnetha has mainly just recorded songs by herself. The first solo album that Agnetha came out with after ABBA broke up was called "Wrap your arms around me". Which I'm pretty sure you can buy on http://www.amazon.com/ . Then around 86', Agnetha recorded at least 2 songs with the Swedish singer and actor... Ola Hakonsson. A little Post ABBA trivia, Ola is the same age as Bjorn. Well, finally here is the 2 songs Ola and Agnetha recorded together in 1986, "Fly like the Eagle" and "The way you are". Here are the links... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hV_5AmVZG1I and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMFmQz_5GMM . Enjoy.
