Frida

Frida, born Anni-Frid Lyngstad, is a renowned Swedish singer who gained fame as one of the members of the popular 1970s band ABBA. Born on November 15, 1945, in Norway to a Norwegian mother and a German father, Frida's childhood was marked by tragedy as her father died when she was just two years old. She pursued a career in music and met Benny Andersson, a member of the Swedish band Hep Stars, in 1969. This encounter led to Frida joining forces with Benny, Björn Ulvaeus, and Agnetha Fältskog to form ABBA in 1972. ABBA's catchy and melodic pop songs, along with their unique fashion sense and captivating performances, catapulted them to international stardom. Frida's distinct vocals were showcased in hit songs like "Dancing Queen," "The Winner Takes It All," and "Fernando." Apart from her work with ABBA, Frida also released successful solo albums, including her critically acclaimed 1982 album "Something's Going On." Today, she is remembered as an influential figure in pop music history, with ABBA's music still resonating with audiences worldwide.
