Abba In Their Own Words
Compiled by Rosemary York
Success has not come easy for Abba. When they won the Eurovision Song Context
they appeared as two innocent couples singing a catchy song. The accessibility
of their tunes soon made them favourites of the deejays and the public.The string of hits grew longer and the melodies more sophisticated. Their
management company became one of Sweden’s biggest exporters next to Volvo but
behind the scenes the strain of touring and the pressures of fame eventually
caused both their marriages to fail.
Here, in quotes from contemporary interviews, is the Abba story, told by the
group themselves.First published UK 1981. |
