Phil who? Legend, my arse. One of the worst 'music makers' of the 80s. An early Adele in the "I'm gonna get divorced and write me another shit album all about it and bore the public with it forever and ever amen."
So nowhere on the official data here does it mention what they were doing together !?! For those who want to know... This was during the recording of the third solo album from Anni-Frid Lyngstad (Frida) in March 1982, called Something's Going On. Frida wanted to distance herself from the ABBA sound she was associated with and decided to incorporate strings and Orchestra instead of typical Synthesizer sounds. To this end as she was recording with Phil Collins they went to George Martin's Studio to record the orchestral parts of her album and Paul McCartney was in attendance. Hence their appearance in this short snippet of behind the scenes footage of the recording session. Hope that clears up some of the mystery. :)
This is on London, Abbey Road, where Frida & Phil were recording strings for their album "Something going on" and Paul wass recording "Tug of War". 1981.
This is George Martin's Air Studios in London. The orchestral overdubs were recorded there in the spring of 1982, after the main sessions in Stockholm in February/March the same year.

Two greats In the same room. It would have been nice if Paul had written a song for Frida to record, and even accompanied her. I wish this had occurred.
It's like watching these legends without their public "costumes" on. The reality of studio work, fish and chips, banter, cigarettes.. How amazing it all seems.
Paul seems to have an identical public and private persona except in his famous cases of losing his shit that we've heard about. Trying to imagine him getting angry lol
Frida and Benny Andersson had spent a day a couple of years earlier in Paul and Linda's house. I think it was in 1978 or 80. They were not friends, but respected a lot each other. Paul was an Abba fan also.
In this film clip, Macca is acting awkwardly cool, like he couldn't help himself in such close proximity to such a beatiful woman. I bet Linda did all she could to keep Paul away from Frida.
@@Eleventhearlofmars Really? Many? Or maybe just you….! But I don’t want to get involved in a tit for tat, so I’ll just leave it there and suggest you try and be a bit more honest in your replies from now on….! Have a blessed day….
Would be an epic should Paul McCartney decide to record a duet with Frida or Agnetha as ABBA have made a comeback or even if ABBA and Paul McCartney work together on a song.
Well he wouldn't be any vocally worse than the twats they did one each with-Cetera and Collins, both whom sound vocally switched at birth. WHAT a thought!
I got Frida's album from Columbia House in 1983 and have always loved the fact that Phil produced it and performed on it. He's the reason the drums on that awesome title track have that heavy gated reverb on them. I've always loved that effect. "To Turn The Stone" is, however, the greatest song on that album, IMO. And "Threnody".
How beautiful Frida was there. Everyone was fine there, everyone was fine and beautiful. This situation seems to me to have happened, by the way, in the 1980s.
George Harrison wrote the song "You" from Extra Texture especially for Abba - He invited Abba to Friar Park, they spent a weekend there in 1974 - worked on the song, added their vocals but decided they wanted to release their own material, so their version was left on the shelf. George released it instead in the same year.
Wow. That's got me thinking..What if George then invited John, Paul and Ringo over and then invited Frida and Agnetha to do vocals for them on a new album. How cool would that have been?
@@IndomitableT Oh, It is on the top of my head when I wrote the original post, but when I googled, it was "Something's going on" not "What's going on" as I stated o previous post. My mistake..Thanks for clearing that up
Frida asked Phil Collins to produce her album, There's something going on after she heard his album, Face Value. They also sung Here we'll stay as a duet. Frida also sang it solo.
@@sarahperry2738"Hand In Hand" on "Face Value" is amazing, IMO, but I'm sure it was other tracks like "You Know What I Mean" which impressed *her* the most. Oh yeah... she recorded a cover of that one for her album. Duh! lol
I like to see Phil in there. Always with his cool sense of humor...and he looks like he was the guy who brought the food. I suspect he was mostly a breath of fresh air in the studio with Genesis and with other rock superstars.
How? All I heard was that he kept such a tight reign on the controls that he practically strangled everybody. The braying voiced self-pitying "I'm on yet ANOTHER divorce, let's bore the public with another self-pitying album about it" (you can tell wanker Adele listens, can't you?) is guilty of some of the worst songs of the best decade (the 80s) and one of the worst voices. And ending '89 with a "Think twice"-how is it another day in paradise for us, you midgety old fossil, you with the 5 mansions in different countries, billions in the bank and the ceaseless need for public adoration over your many divorced while your coffers refill for no god reason whatsoever. Just another tosser like Sting and Weller.
@@matts9064 Giant assumptions much? I don't have to like a braying hypocritical old egoist of crap songs just cos you think he should marry you (and then maybe write about that if you're interesting enough).
More like awkward. Phil has remembered Benny had still an huge influence on her and there were signs of abuse. Phil had very bad memories talking with both Andersons who acted like bullies quite a lot.
@@marguskiis7711 Not sure about Bjorn but benny definitely always struck me as a humourless dude looking at them being interviewed and apparently he was abusive/bully with Frida
@@marguskiis7711 i totally believe this. she gives off an awekward vibe in the videos with phill as if she is not used to working with anyone but benny/abba. super sad for frida
Wow! First time seeing this. It's good to see that singers/musicians can also enjoy each other's company. Nothing wrong with a meal, laughs & good conversation.
If only Sir Paul McCartney had composed a song for ABBA to record for their new album! Well, it isn't too late. It can still be done. Maybe have it released as a single and then include it in a future Best of ABBA complication album!
At this time, Paul wound composed a song for Frida. It's never happened. But year later, Frida recorded Saltwater, composed by Julian Lennon. Frida recoderd a Beatles song in Swedish in the end of 60's produced by Benny, but she never realized. You can listen in RU-vid.
Phil Collins in the audience for the filming of the concert scene in A Hard Day's Night... Phil Collins in a recording studio with Paul McCartney... I would have flipped out
Yes and I would have locked him in it and insisted Collins NEVER EVER make a record again. It's more than bad enough with slagdonna, Weller, Sting, Cure & Madness out there, to say nothing of the puppet armies Pete Waterman drowned us with. One less nightmare would have been something...
The Beatles - Corporate Band. ABBA - Indie Band. ABBA were a self contained indie band that did everything themselves. They had no corporate music industry puppeteers or overlords. The Beatles were owned by corporate music industry establishment, which promoted them and set-up and paved the way for their huge success in America. Since ABBA were independent, they did not have the corporate music establishment on their side. ABBA's huge success was because of grassroots support -- Eurovision Song Contest win and their low budget music clips sent to TV stations. They did not need the American market, like the Beatles did.
Russ Ballard is not to see here in this footage. He and Phil was behind the album "Something going on" for Frieda. He also was the one who wrote and composed most of the songs in this album.
Why Agnetha over Frida? Why not both? Well I'd rather one of those 80s greats duet with them instead-Simon Le Bon, Andy McCluskey, Paul Humphreys, Marian Gold, Morten Harket, Stuart Adamson, Neil Finn, Mark King. Now that'd be something.
FROM A "CHILD FOR HITLER" TO A GERMAN PRINCESS - THE DIFFICULT FATE OF THE DARK ONE OF ABBA The life path of the lead singer of the Swedish pop group ABBA Anni-Frid Lingstad was not easy and thorny. Her mother, Norwegian Sunni Lyngstad, died when her daughter was only 2 years old. Father - German SS sergeant Alfred Haase, was in Norway as part of the occupation forcesss
Alfred Haase was a Wehrmact sergeant not an SS sergeant. There is a big difference. Im sure Frida would have shuddered at the thought of the SS. You should put the record straight. She may feel insulted.
Michael and Phil? Big deal, how much of that was authentic, and it doesn't mean a damn thing if it's undeserved. There's way better artists filling the 80s, and a few other decades than Jackson and Fossil Collins, it's THEY who should be selling the 100mill. Stats are bullshit and taste is a joke. Fixed charts also play the parts, and rigged charts how have been criticised for many decades. In fact, it explains the whole non-music scene now. Shift a piece of shit to a family member or a DJ your manager threatened and you go to No.1 for 5 years. Wow, achievements for nothing. No wonder no one tries any more and is just trying instead as living beings.
this was from awhile back. did yall know phil collins was in the beatles movie hard days night? he was one of the screaming kids chasing the beatles in one scene.
He never made it to actually appear in the film, probably because he didn't scream like everybody else... He was starring at Ringo's drums.... Didn't make a sound.... But, yes, he was there.
In the 80s anybody cared about the Beatles, believe me. I was young in the 80s and all I could see was Paul Mac Cartney and Wings, but didn´t care at all about the Beatles.
Actually, Frida's X husband, Benny Andersson is the genius. Could Paul have written a CHESS and a 'Kristina fran Duvemala'? Benny is a living legend. Benny also produces his own stuff. The Beatles used corporate label A & R Men, Martin & Spector. ABBA produced their own stuff.
C is also for something else, which I would also call Collins. And why you're comparing him to 2 legends who are not the only ones planets way better than him I'll never know. I could think of hundreds better people to be in there with.
@@carlosguerreiro5418 Phil Collins is at his best in Genesis. Just like Paul is at his best in The Beatles. I'm not comparing. The Beatles changed the face of music and Genesis were one of many bands who took note of what The Beatles did musically and pushed how you construct a pop song much further. Their Prog stuff always sounded like pop to me. Great music made by a bunch of boring bastards. John Lennon was a Genesis fan.
funny how you can tell from paul's haircut that this is about 1979 or 1980...unfortunately for me the only one of these three that I've met is phil collins LOL
0:17 That's fkng Paul McCartney!!! I know everybody knows that, but that moment captured like the very essense of Paul... his sight is very idk... intense If I would do a Paul movie or a book, I'd put a caption from these few seconds. this was before he made plastic surgery... maybe that's it
