Music Why are ABBA so popular?

Haha, I just found another lovely historical clip...
...here are Björn and Benny in the recording studio while recording "ABBA: The Album".
They show a young fan how to play "Fernando" and they also play a snippet of the amazing song "The Name of the Game" which is being recorded.

They speak Swedish in the clip, but the clip has English subtitles.

ABBA: Recording ABBA - The Album

Ill check this out later!

Another fun historical clip I found...

Here are all the four members of ABBA in the recording studio while recording Dancing Queen,
together with the sound engineer and also their bassist, Rutger Gunnarsson.

Björn and Benny show the two girls how the backing vocals are to be sung, and we also get to hear how the original first verse of Dancing Queen was supposed to be. This verse was later completely dropped from the song in favor of starting the song with a chorus instead.

What's also apparent in the clip is how great the girls' voices sound live when they sing together, it is clearly heard in the clip.
