Share: Frida (ex-ABBA) - Time 1983

With the recent ABBA revival and the possible start of the new wave of ABBAMANIA, the back catalogue of the band and its members is throughly inspected again.

In 1983, FRIDA, the brunette, recorded a track for the English version of the internationally staged musical ABBACADABRA with pop-singer B.A.Robertson:

Oddly enough, this track, where vocal line is added to the famous ABBA instrumental ARRIVAL from their 1976 LP, never got its way onto any of her - or his - Best Of compilations, a great tune, with a B-side filler.

This song was also sung by her in French with a French artist Daniel Balavoine, called BELLE and was released on the French ABBACADABRA musical soundtrack LP.

That's two mentions the great Mr Robertson has had on here recently.

He'll be getting requested on zinhof or reddit before we know it.

I'm intrigued with how they setlist the Abba shows. You can be continually building and then falling when you have to accommodate those slower songs and there is clearly going to be a huge element of karaoke about the whole thing.
apf? southern boy? borntorun99? yazoost? Fucking joke? Definitely.
