ABBA went to Japan Nov. 16th 1978 and returned to Sweden on the 27th. Benny and Anni-Frid married after being engaged for over nine years on October 6th -no wonder she's radiant and throwing kisses around! Björn and Agnetha split during christmas only six weeks after the Japan visit; brave to keep a smiling facade: their youngest child was not yet one year! The recording sessions for their album "Voulez-Vous" was busy, but the album was not finished until April 1979. Great to see this!
Smoking, very interesting and rare scene. But very casual at that time. The telop at 8:30 means: they were so hard schedule to attend over 120 companies, TV, radio, newspapor. magazine ineterview during only one week
didnt know all four members smoked...i still dont understand how can a proffesional singer smoke...i guess its like:"if i stay out of voice, i'll just go playback...:(
Agnetha stopped smoking shortly after that, Benny never has that I know of. You would think it would hurt their vocal chords somehow. Not a doctor don't know. mel usa
Although I hate smoking, and I don't like it, when a Female singer endangers her voice with it, I have to admit, that Agnetha looked cool with ciggy. :)
”Jag tycker att det är underbart att få vara med i det här programmet” and some strange noises afterwards. It means “ I think it’s wonderful to be a part of this show”. 10 years later came the response, lol
Frida is such an out-going wonderful woman. Always having a good time. Never shy like Agnetha is always. Benny has aged the worst of the lot because of his disgusting smoking. He looks 10 years older than the others these days. Bjorn is really the smartest. A vegetartian, a runner, an atheist, and a dedicated environmentalist (which Frida is also). Frida should have married Bjorn.
