Knowing About A Swedish Female Singer

By Cecile Ingram


To the average American a Swedish female singer is really no big deal. They have heard so many of these talented people in the past that it has become quite common. ABBA introduced every U. S. Citizen to two spectacular women who really know how to belt out a tune. The fantastic people within this group were Bjorn Kristian Ulvaeus, Frida Lyngstad, Benny Andersson and Agnetha Faltskog.

During their time together this quartet made very amazing music together and they will certainly be remembered in history. Agnetha Faltskog was the very pretty blonde lady within this group and she was born in Sweden. This lady had a dad who worked in a store and a mom who simply stayed at home to raise her children. She had always been interested in the entertainment world and started writing songs at an early age.

The piano was her favorite musical instrument while growing up and she took the time to play it at church. She decided to start a girl band named "The Cambers" before the age of eleven. Her hometown really enjoyed the concerts that these girls put on during the holidays. She was only fifteen when she decided to leave her school for bigger opportunities.

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.

She is very much like her grandmother since they both enjoyed good music and could sing any tune. The older woman was Frida's mentor and legal guardian after her mother's untimely death. Frida would always tell everyone how great her grandmother was when she did chat shows on television. She found success at thirteen with a local orchestra and finally met her ABBA lover Benny Andersson some years later.

This Swedish female singer would only stay married to this handsome man for a period of three years even though they were engaged for nine. Frida found success again after ABBA had ended when she launched a solo career and had the hit single "I Know There's Something Going On".
