Many Americans can name at least one very popular Swedish female singer in this world. It is no surprise that the group ABBA turned out to be one of the biggest singing groups all over the world. The group included four artists who were romantically linked together in the early 70's. These four unique individuals were Agnetha Faltskog, Frida Lyngstad, Bjorn Kristian Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson.

During their time together this quartet made very amazing music together and they will certainly be remembered in history. Agnetha Faltskog was the very pretty blonde lady within this group and she was born in Sweden. This lady had a dad who worked in a store and a mom who simply stayed at home to raise her children. She had always been interested in the entertainment world and started writing songs at an early age.

The piano was her favorite musical instrument while growing up and she took the time to play it at church. She decided to start a girl band named "The Cambers" before the age of eleven. Her hometown really enjoyed the concerts that these girls put on during the holidays. She was only fifteen when she decided to leave her school for bigger opportunities.

Singing was in her blood and she took every chance to learn the unique styles of other top performers. There were plenty of recordings by Lesley Gore, Aretha Franklin and the great Connie Francis in her room while she was growing up. She tried her best to style her music like each of these ladies.

Faltskog met Bjorn Ulvaeus in the late 60's and they began a torrid love affair that was very beneficial to them both. These two were married in 1971 and their union lasted for a short eight years. During this time they had two beautiful children together. Even though they decided to divorce in 1979 this duo still remained with the group ABBA until the end.

One fortunate redhead within this industry is the lovely Frida Lyngstad who was born in a Norwegian hospital in the mid 1940's. Frida grew up in Sweden and still considers herself to be a native of this land. She also is associated with Germany due to her father's bloodline. Synni Lyngstad was her mother who left this planet at the age of twenty-one when she died from an illness.

She is very much like her grandmother since they both enjoyed good music and could sing any tune. The older woman was Frida's mentor and legal guardian after her mother's untimely death. Frida would always tell everyone how great her grandmother was when she did chat shows on television. She found success at thirteen with a local orchestra and finally met her ABBA lover Benny Andersson some years later.

Benny was married to this Swedish female singer for several years before filing for a divorce. The couple was actually together for quite a period of time before marrying. Once ABBA was finished Frida found herself back on stage as a single act. "I Know There's Something Going On" was a big hit song for her in the 80's.
