ANNI-FRID LYNGSTAD

Anni-Frid Lyngstad was born on November 15, 1945, in Ballangen, Norway, another member of the popular Swedish pop singer ABBA. She began her first career as a jazz singer in 1967 with a talent contest called “New Faces.” Compared with her companion Agnetha Fältskog, she suffered from stage fright. After ABBA broke up, she went On to an international solo career and enjoyed phenomenal success, releasing Something’s Going On and Shine, both of which were huge hits.

The singer produced her first solo album Frida together with her then-fiance, and it garnered many credits. In 1972 though, some unforeseen circumstances found her going on her own tours by herself, but she did not mind working on her tours all alone. Now 72 years old, Lyngstad’s face bears lines when she grins. This year, she surprised the world with an ABBA song cover duet with trumpeter Sandoval Arturo which proved to be a worthy investment.
