About ABBA
ABBA brought together Swedish performers Agnetha Fältskog, Björn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson and Anni-Frid Lyngstad. Andersson and Ulvaeus developed the group's songwriting and production partnership, while Fältskog and Lyngstad's voices became central to its recordings. The 1974 Eurovision victory with Waterloo introduced the quartet to a wider international audience. Its 1970s catalog ranges from closely arranged pop songs to dance music and ballads. The members' separate solo and duo recordings belong to different artist histories.
