  • Frida Fire and Ice Ist dieser Clip schon bekannt??

    Magazine Article at the time of "Damernas Värld".


    "It feels great to have the future in front of oneself in form of a blank
    paper"


    Annifrid Lyngstad starts a new career as program leader on television


    Frida has thrown herself in on a new way. As a program presenter on TV. And
    there might be more interesting things in future.


    "Right now I take everyday as it comes. I'm open for everything when it comes
    to work."


    It's pause in the recordings of "Lite Grand i Örat". Frida sits at a table right
    among cords, cameras, instrument and props and drinks coffee from a paper mug,
    smokes a cigarette and goes through the schedule and the manuscript for the rest
    of the show. She has big smoke coloured glasses on the tip of her nose - the
    letters have somewhat become smaller lately...


    Frida is relaxed and she seems to be enjoying her new role as a program leader
    on TV.


    "I want to try new things, I want to test my self, she says. And this is a
    suitable way towards some sort of solo career."


    Solo career? Aha - ABBA is to break up!


    No. That's not the case. The "news" about that the group is breaking up has been
    on the first page of every news paper around the world for a while now, but the
    truth is that ABBA still exists in the highest degree - because they are namely
    recording a new album. They will release a new LP by Christmas and they have
    plans for at least two more records. But no tours or other live-performances are
    planned. So Frida has some time over, so to speak.


    "Right now I take every day as it comes."


    "I am actually open for everything. If I get an offer - any kind - that I
    feel would fit my temperament, and my artistic ambitions, then it's not
    completely impossible I say yes to it. It feels quite wonderful to have your
    future as a blank paper in front of yourself. To not be bound to anything."


    Frida takes a sip of the coffee and goes on:


    "There is a thing that is as good as clear now - that I'll finally do a new
    solo-LP! It's six years since I did "Frida Ensam", so it feels very exciting."


    It was early this spring the idea was born. ABBA's record company Polar
    contacted music publishers all around the world to receive original songs for
    Frida, music no other artist had never recorded. There was a tremendous
    response, one has already now boxes full of cassettes from composers all around
    the world.


    Now Frida is going to listen through everything, and then Stikkan Andersson and
    his assistant Görel Hanser to USA to discuss the recording of the album. It's
    namely not all so sure that the record will be made in Stockholm and produced by
    Björn and Benny!


    "They are occupied with writing songs for upcoming ABBA-albums, says Frida.
    And in addition: both Björn and Benny are going to be parents shortly, as you
    know. They certainly want some time with the children."


    That musical then, that the media been writing so much about - is there anything
    written yet, and do you have any plans of performing it one day?


    "It's only at the stage of planning. It's something that takes an awful lot
    of time, writing a good musical, that holds a international standard. It means
    one or a couple of years work for Björn and Benny. If it will première in Sweden
    or abroad is something we don't know today. Not either if it will be made for
    Agnetha and me. But it would be nice to play a musical. I'm, as I said earlier,
    open for everything..."


    As this with TV. It's the producer Leonard Eek and Clabbe who has had this idea
    for this programme for some time now. They were looking for a female program
    leader, and this spring Clabbe got the insight of asking Frida.


    "I was very surprised and happy, says Frida. I didn't really now what to
    answer, I wanted to think about it."


    What did you think then?


    "Honestly spoken I was very hesitating. It's a completely new thing in my career
    to all of a sudden host a TV-show. And not only one programme, but four. With
    everything it means of work and preparations. It demands more from me than to
    just stand and sing or said some well-rehearsed lines."


    But after a couple of months time to think Frida said yes. On TV2 they cheered -
    one of ABBA is a drawing card - like nothing else, of course.


    "And I've nothing against being a drawing card, she says. Because this is a
    TV-program I believe in to one hundred per cent. It's directed to a new form of
    TV-audience who has been a bit omitted until now. People in the age of 25-35,
    who likes good music that swings!"


    Frida has a very important part in the production of the programme. She has been
    on the editorial staff - not only worked as a forward-and-say-person.


    "I have helped them choosing artists and music, put it together to a good 'mix',
    written manuscript of what to say. We have been a team that really has worked
    great together. For me it feels fantastic to work in this democratic manner. Not
    just to think about your own performance but feeling fellowship and happiness in
    the ambition of making an attractive entertainment for a wide audience."


    This we will see on TV on Fridays - the first programme will be broadcast on
    18th of September. What we don't get to see is what Frida do on her spare time.
    She exercise and dances jazz ballet it usually is in the papers, but see here:


    "The exercise has been down for the last 6 couple of months! I have for once
    been taking it easy - and become very relaxed and pleasant to my mind. This
    summer I've been at my summer's place and have had it wonderful. Reading a lot,
    listening to music, spending time with my kids and my friends"


    Will your kids be in showbiz?


    "I don't know! Both are at least very very interested in music! Hans, my son
    who is eighteen years old, plays in a band - he's already in the Business!
    Liselotte is still only fourteen years old and is still in school, so you don't
    really know if she will choose the music as an occupation. But she listens to
    music of all kinds! Benny's son Peter is also wonderfully musically. Is there
    anyone who is going to be an artist of our children, then it's probably him..."


    The clothing in this program is remarkably good - both Frida, Clabbe and the
    artists will come in wearing new creations every new entré! Not glitter, but
    clean, sober clothes from the latest autumn fashion. One thinks that
    fashion-aware Frida has had a hand in this.


    "Certainly I think fashion is fun," says Frida, "but not in the high degree that
    some newspapers has written"


    Some newspapers wrote this spring that Frida suffers from an almost morbid
    clothes-obsession, and that this was the reason for the divorce from Benny.


    Frida laughs a good laugh at the rumours, but her kind brown-green eyes gets
    both sad and angry at the memory.


    "One learns to deal with a whole lot of stuff - sometimes you don't know if
    you should cry or laugh at all ridiculous speculations... That I put a fortune
    on clothes every week - that's a pure lie. I like wearing comfortable, beautiful
    clothes. Wonderful materials and colours that emphasize my personality. Is that
    to be called 'clothes-obsession'? That obsession I think I share with a whole
    lot of women if that's the case!"

  • Björn-seine Freundschaft zu Slim Borgudd

    mir vielen neulich einige artikel in die hände und da dachte ich mir,es ist ein gutes thema für die abteilung björn.


    karl edward thomas borgudd *25.11.1946 borgholm ,war leidenschaftlicher musiker und rennfahrer.
    in den 60'jahren war er erst der musiker,er spielte in einigen bands die den blues -und progressiven rock bevorzugten.die stationen waren die -lea riders/made in sweden und solar plexus.
    mit diesen bands brachte er einige singles und lp's auf den markt.
    ein besuch in new orleans,er ersetzte den drummer der gruppe bei einer clubsession,erhielt er den spitznamen slim-den er beibehalten hat.
    hier erwachte auch das feuer für den rennsport,was er ab 1980 auch bei grand prixs unter beweis stellen wollte.


    anfang der siebziger jahre war er freier angestellter musiker bei den hootenanny singers und war bei studioarbeiten anwesend,auch findet man die anmerkung-das er am anfang von abba bei einigen studiosessions dabei gewesen war-habe nichts darüber in einschlägiger lektüre gefunden.


    als abba immer mehr die musikszene beherrschte,verschwanden solche bands von der bildfläche.


    ein album ist sehr interessant,1976 nahm er "funky formular"auf,hier schrieb er alle texte /musik mit häggström allein.
    die liste der gastmusiker und sänger sind erstaunlich,haben doch alle mehr oder weniger auch mit abba gearbeitet.
    -ulf andersson
    -george wadenius
    -janne schaffer
    -björn skiffs
    -jerry williams
    -björn j:son lindh
    -janne kling
    -tommy körberg


    auch slim spielte bei anderen künstlern mit:
    -alexis corner
    -cornelius wreswijk
    -monica zetterlund
    -thad jones
    -mel lewis
    -dänische philharmonie


    als er 1980 die chance (mit 34 jahren)bekam in die formel 1 einzusteigen ,fehlte das nötige kleingeld.
    so rief er stig anderson an und bat ihn um hilfe,stig aber schickte in zur hölle.


    da fragte er björn,aus freundschaft zu ihm diskutierte er es mit den anderen drei und sie gaben schließlich ihr okay.
    so fand das logo abba,den weg zur formel 1.


    es war aber so,dass abba nicht mit geld ausgeholfen hat,hier sollte abba das zugpferd für echte sponsoren sein.
    slim unterschrieb einen vertrag mit ats und durfte das logo für ein jahr benutzen,sein erstes rennen war 1981 in imola(leider errang er nur einen punkt in der formel eins).
    björn war so erfreut ,dass er ihn in hockenheim persönlich die daumen drückte,auch dies half nichts:
    1982 wechselte er dann zum tourenwagen und truckracing wo er erfolge einfahren konnte.


    auf die frage ,was für ihn bedeutender wäre,musik oder schaltung-antwortete er:leidenschaft raste immer.

  • Wie geht es eigentlich Björns Frau??

    diese form des blutkrebses ,an der lena erkrankt ist ,ist nicht heilbar.
    2005 erhielten die 2 die diagnose und gaben im expressen folgendes interview-


    Very sad news for the Ulvaeus family
    Lena Ulvaeus has been diagnosed with a deadly form of cancer. She and Björn talked to Expressen's reporter Anna Bäsén about it.
    "I will probably not be
    alive in ten years"
    Björn and Lena Ulvaeus were called in for an urgent meeting with the doctor.
    In the consultation room they received the terrible information: Lena has
    incurable and deadly leukaemia.
    Now they exclusively tell Expressen about the struggle against time.
    - We don't plan for the future, I will probably not be alive in ten years. You
    try to suppress the disease, we take each day as it comes, says Lena.
    Two years ago Lena Ulvaeus, 55, discovered she had four hazelnut-sized lumps
    on her neck.
    - It happened suddenly, but right away I realized it wasn't normal. I had
    been sweating a lot at night before, but I thought it was due to menopause.
    The first test didn't reveal anything. But Lena convinced her doctor to get
    a referral to Danderyds Hospital for a bone marrow test. One day
    they called from the hospital and said that the doctor wanted to meet her as
    soon as possible.
    - Then I said to Björn that this doesn't sound good, this isn't benign, says Lena.
    It's incurable
    At the hospital she received the dramatic information: You have chronic
    lymphatic leukaemia     and it's incurable.
    - We fell apart, both Björn and I. We just held each other. After we had
    walked out of there, it was as if we were out of it. It has been a long
    process to deal with the information. At first I couldn't believe it was
    true. Then I laid there in despair, I couldn't sleep and thought about
    dying.
    - In a way you get used to it. People say that you're brave, but it's not
    like that. I don't have a choice. I can roll around and scream at the top of
    my lungs, but it wouldn't help at all, says Lena.
    Lena's cancer has put a lot of strain on her family.
    - It's terrible. We live with the disease, I think about it every day. And
    that I can't do anything about it, Björn says and and continues
    - The best moments are when we are able to forget about it.
    Can't say
    The doctors can't say how much time she has left. Lena can become ill and
    die in 6 months - or in twelve years.
    - The worst thing is to wake up at three in the morning and start thinking
    about how much time I have left. I'm happily married. It is so sad to know
    that we won't grow old together, she says.
    Right now Lena is feeling quite good, despite dizziness and sweating. She
    does the things she usually do but at a slower pace.
    The family's support is the most important.
    - It goes up and down. There are days when I'm very tired and feel lousy.
    Sometimes I get dizzy and have to hold on to Björn while we're out walking.
    Since the disease is incurable, there is no treatment available until the symptoms
    appear. Because of that, Lena has chosen not to have the monthly routine
    check-ups. They just made her worried and she got to see a different doctor each
    time.
    - You sit there in the waiting room like a scared rabbit and wait to hear how
    sick you are. It feels much better not having to deal with those damn blood
    tests. I'll go to the hospital when I get ill.
    Lena thinks that the support from her family is the most important
    thing. Björn is constantly by her side. The four adult children have
    also dealt with it well, Lena thinks.
    - The children know that
    it's true, but I think they suppress it. There is no other way to deal
    with it. You can't fret about it the time you have left. The death
    sentence has made Lena think more about life and its conditions.
    You become more truthful
    - You become different as a person when you have a limited time
    left. You
    can't be mean towards anyone, you probable become kinder and more
    truthful, she says and laughs.
    Lena praises the doctors and nurses, but is critical towards the
    organisation with constant changes of doctors, the wait and consultation
    rooms closed for the summer.
    - It's crazy. It's the politicians' fault, the health care sector needs more resources.
    Now the Ulvaeus family hope that Lena's story will help others.
    - Most people have never heard about this disease and that it's
    incurable. I hope that the research will continue, Lena says.
    jetzt sind ja schon 10 jahre nach der schrecklichen diagnose vergangen und ich freue mich jedesmal ,sie gemeinsam bei veranstaltungen zu sehen .
    mögen sie noch lange zeit gemeinsam den weg gehen.

  • One Man One Woman

    und ich las ebend,das auf grund der gedämpften reaktion des publikums auch tyftm eine pause hatte.
    letztendlich wurde der titel wieder gespielt und omow blieb draussen.
    eigentlich wäre es egal gewesen welche songs zum besten gegeben wurden,sie konnten aus den vollen schöpfen.

  • Aldrig Mer

    ja,es ist echt schade das björn hier zu kurz kommt.
    hat er doch ,der zeit entsprechende folkssongs allein und mit anderen künstlern für die gruppe geschrieben. sie hatten leider mehr gecoverte als selbstkomponierte lieder im programm ,warum auch immer.


    1971 nahmen die hootenanny singers einen titel auf,der die svensktoppen in diesem jahr bestimmte.
    das lied war die coverversion des klassikers -che sara-von jimmy fontana und franco migliacci.dieser titel hieß dann im englischen-shake a hand /in spanisch-que sera' und im schwedischen -aldrig mer.
    der schwedische text stammt aus der feder von stig.
    auch die schwedische schlagersängerin anna lena löfgren nahm diesen song auf.


    der titel stieg gleich auf platz 4in die svensktoppen ein,weitere platzierungen-3-1-1-1-1-1-1-2-6-5-7-6-6-9-,wirklich ein achtbares ergebnis.


    hier eine kleine auswahl,von verschiedenen künstlern-

  • One Man One Woman

    das video wurde für werbezwecke des albums gedreht und leider gab es diesen song nie auf einer single.


    noch eine kleine anmerkung,so wie es dem song erging,hatte auch thank you for the music ,der mit einem lokalen kinderchor gesungen wurde,auf der nordamerika tour nicht den erfolg den man sich erhoffte.auch er wurde dann,nach den startschwierigkeiten aus dem programm genommen,bei der europa- tour erschien er dann wieder auf der set liste.

  • Charlie Norman Show -1970-komplett

    die sendung war ja eine aufzeichnung einer schow der tour die von 1969-1970 ging.
    einfach toll,diese schow zu sehen.Frida bekam hier ,die so wichtige bühnenpräzens,die sie dann bei abba richtig ausleben konnte.


    frida und charlie hatten das engagement in malmö beendet,sie gingen in ein restaurant um zu abend zu essen,als benny und björn das lokal betraten,später kamen svenne und lotta dazu,es wurde wohl ein sehr netter abend für alle und er wurde dann im hotel von benny und björn fortgeführt und endete in den morgenstunden.
    später trafen sich frida,benny und björn in der radiosendung als mitglieder der"jukebox-jury"wieder.
    nach der premiere der neuen variete schow am 18.8.von charlie und frida in stockholm/hamburger börse ,verlobten sich benny und frida.
