Agnetha Fältskog
Agnetha Åse Fältskog is a Swedish singer-songwriter and pianist.
Known as one of the most distinct members of the Swedish pop group ‘ABBA’, Fältskog first claimed to fame in November 1967 with her first single (Jag var så kär) and eponymous debut album. Fältskog became popular in her own home country, due to her success in the Swedish record charts, in the late 1960s, leading to several appearances on Swedish television special programmes, and making several albums.
In 1970, Fältskog met Björn Ulvaeus, Anni-Frid Lyngstad and Benny Andersson, to form a prototype version of ABBA, under the name ‘Festfolket’. The following year, Ulvaeus and Fältskog both married, and had two children (Linda and Christian). The marriage lasted until 1979, when they divorced due to personal and creative differences.
