ABBA
From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
ABBA was a Swedish pop music group, who had many hits in the 1970s and early 1980s. The name "ABBA" is made from the first letter of each member's first name:
- Agnetha Fältskog
- Björn Ulvaeus
- Benny Andersson, and
- Anni-Frid Lyngstad.
ABBA became very popular after they won the Eurovision Song Contest in 1974. They had many hits. These included "Dancing Queen", "SOS", "Mamma Mia", and "Waterloo". Most of their songs were written by Ulvaeus and Andersson.
They broke up in 1982, but their music is still popular. It has appeared in movies (including the Australian films The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert and Muriel's Wedding) and the musical Mamma Mia!.
