I have a burning need to know stuff and I love asking awkward questions.

Happy Birthday: Agneta Åse Fältskog (born 5 April 1950) is a Swedish singer, songwriter, and a former member of the pop group ABBA. She first achieved success in Sweden with the release of her 1968 self-titled debut album. She rose to international stardom in the 1970s as a member of ABBA, which is one of the best-selling music acts in history. She is the youngest member of ABBA, and the only one born in the 1950s.

After the unofficial break-up of ABBA in December 1982, she renewed success later in the decade as a solo artist with three albums and a leading role in a movie. She became reclusive in the 1990s, avoiding outside publicity and residing on the Stockholm County island of Ekerö.

Fältskog stopped recording music for 16 years until she released a new album, My Colouring Book, in 2004. She returned in 2013 with A, her highest UK charting solo album to date. ABBA has since reformed, and Fältskog has resumed her previous role with the group.

I love Abba's music!! I didn't know that Agneta Åse Fältskog had a solo career though.

I 'grew up' with Abba, so I'm a lifelong fan. Agneta's pre-Abba solo career was new to me too...

Mon dieu! I'd managed to exile that earworm and now it's returned again.

Same here, I have loved Abba ever since I knew them. Must have been Waterloo. I knew they were famous in Sweden before. That was at a time when countries still sent performers to the ESC that were already known.
