Hearing them sing Don’t Fence Me In, you can really hear the tone of Frida’s voice and what it brought to the special recipe that made them so successful.
@timpows🙂Yes, I saw that too. That was May of 1978. ABBA were not allowed to use any playback/pre-recorded music for that TV Special. In Germany, Spain, France and Netherlands, they did use playback and lip-synched their TV appearances. Another show in the U.K. (Top Of The Pops), they did perform LIVE though.
I had never heard some of these before. I loved seeing them have fun with other people's songs. I remember them being on Olivia Newton-John Show. May you rest in eternal peace Olivia Newton-John. 🕊 Awesome Creativity.... thank you for sharing! 💖
Sweet Becky❤! Thanks so much for this delightful video of our Beloved Multitalented ABBA! What a unique, intelligent group of musicians who gave us so much joy. Thanks Becky, for you give us joy watching these rare and great videos. Keep em' coming..❤
Amen to that true Statement! By now , I believe they could be the all time 1st in sales. They have sold over 400 million units. And, the younger generations are piling on, diggin' ABBA 'S sound..
YES The Beatles are the best selling artist of all-time with over 420 million equivalent album sales. More than 85 million sales behind, Michael Jackson is runner up ahead of Elvis Presley.
Bom dia meus amores ABBA,um sábado abençoado para vocês e sua família, Agnetha, Bjorn, Benny, Frida.Estou orando pra vcs com coração cheio de amor e esperança pelo dias melhor pra todos vcs com a presença de Deus! Amo vcs nunca deixe de cantar e muito maravilhoso rever suas músicas e rever vocês cantando, abraço, beijo ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ com muito amor Lúcia Helena Gomes!❤

The songs without composer are as follows: - Pick A Bale Of Cotton - Lonnie Donegan - On Top of Old Smoky - The Weavers - Midnight Special - Creedence Clearwater Revival - Nu Alla Goda Vänners Skål - Lasse Berghagen
I intentionally left the songwriters blank in my video because there are no known songwriters or composers to the songs you mentioned. Pick A Bale Of Cotton, On Top Of Old Smokey, and Midnight Special are all Traditional Folk Songs, some likely sung by prisoners in the American South.(en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midnight_Special_(song)) The earliest known references to the songs are from the 1920s, or perhaps earlier. (secondhandsongs.com/work/144148) (abbasite.com/articles/the-folk-medley-abbas-rare-cover-versions/). The bands you mentioned have all recorded the songs, and perhaps helped to popularize them further, but they didn't write them. Nu Alla Goda Vänners Skål was sung by Lasse Berghagen for a CD in 1995 (www.discogs.com/release/2820075-Various-Stora-Snapsvise-CDn), and there's even another recorded version of the song released in 1985 by Carl Johan Falkman and Ulf Bjorlin (www.discogs.com/release/10753880-Carl-Johan-Falkman-Ulf-Bj%C3%B6rlin-Alla-Goda-V%C3%A4nners-Sk%C3%A5l). However the song is simply a Traditional Swedish song with no known songwriters. :) Perhaps I could have just written "Traditional" rather than question marks in the video.

@@beckyfan456 Hello Becky, you are one Sweet and intelligent informer of information of ALL ABBA material. We Love you for it! Today is my 80th birthday and I'm still diggin' the great ABBA and all their awesome contributions to the Music World. Keep up the great work Becky, we all appreciate it. Healthy and Happy Holidays to you! Merry Christmas !! ❤️Joe
Aw thank you so much and I hope you have had an absolutely incredible 80th birthday! Thank you for always being super sweet and here's to many, many more birthdays!! 🎉🎉🎉
to expand on the topic: listen to Frida's and Benny's album "Frida Ensam" which is made of covers by the way, so people can listen them interpreting underrated european pop-rock songs (even though technically that's not ABBA)
a/nother terrific idea becky. tyty. and i always was puzzled on the b side of summer night city that those three songs were credited to them. although it does confirm how brilliant they were when they sang their own songs. lol peace and love to you and all, xxxxxxx
Except of 'Old Smokey' and 'Don't fence me in' everything falls back behind the songs that were written especially for Agnetha's and Frida's remarkable voices.
Omkring et flygel (Around a Grand Piano) was later renamed Alleycat. It was the signature tune of a TV show of the same name, hosted by Bent Fabricius Bjerre, where he would talk with musicians, and they would also perform. At the end of each show, the participants would hum while Bjerre palyed the tune, as shown in this video.
Becky, that special album song on top of old Smokey, pick a bale of cotton, midnight special, or what Americans call “traditional arrangement”. Meaning that they don’t have any real known author because they were originally sung by American slaves I believe and adapted into folk songs later on. I believe ABBA chose those songs because they didn’t have to pay the royalties on them.
Sång till Görel is missing Did the other 3 performed on I'm Still alive when Agnetha sang it live on tour. There is a version of Barnen sover by frida live with the rest of the group singning behind her
No disrespect to Olivia and I know it was HER special they were on but... ONJ's mic. was turned up so loud it was hard to hear any one else in the group singing...
I've watched clips of that special before. There is a real chemistry between them, but the production looks amateurish. Bad camera work and positions and bad audio quality and mixing. It doesn't do justice to 6 fabulous performers.
Nu alla goda vanners skal (sweden), Pick a bale of cotton (USA), midnight special(USA) and on top of old smokey (USA) are anonimous old traditional folk songs and Tiveds Hambo is an ABBA song
