Abba : thank you for the music : the stories behind every song / by Scott, Robert,1959-author.(CARDINAL)873396;
Includes discography (pages 158-159) and index.Foreword -- Introduction -- Ring ring -- Waterloo -- ABBA -- Arrival -- The album -- Voulez-vous -- Super trouper -- The vistors -- Outro -- Chronology -- Discography -- Index."On April 6th, 1974 Abba stormed the Eurovision stage in cosmopolitan Brighton, a riot of colour, tinsel and innocent yet sexy energy. "Waterloo" was the first ever Swedish winner, and arguably the most memorable moment in Eurovision's entire history. It locked Abba into the minds of viewers: in terms of costumes, presentation and melodrama they were forced to be larger than life from this point onwards. "Waterloo" went on to become a number one hit in Britain, Ireland, West Germany, Belgium, and Norway, went top five in countless other countries, and reached number six in America. It was to be the last time anyone needed to explain who Abba were. Our fate was to be with Bjorn, Agnetha & Frida. Fully illustrated throughout with glorious photographs, forming a sublime gallery of Abba's most dazzling costumes, Thank you for the music traces the story of the Swedish supergroup through their songs, from their world-conquering disco beginning, with modern classics such as "Voulez-Vous", "Chiquitita", "Does your mother know", and "Gimme, Gimmie, Gimme" through to the more reflective "Knowing me, knowing you" and "Winner takes it all" - a musical legacy that has been often mimicked but never matched." --
