ABBA is musical serotonin. Two angelic voices blended in harmony with incredible tunes. Better yet, they wrote and produced every note of their own music. An extreme rarity considering Burt Bacharach was writing nearly every pop tune back then.

ABBA (acronym) has 4 members, Agnetha (blonde), Anni-Frid aka Frida (Brunette), Benny (Piano) and Björn (Guitar), they're from Sweden and became famous worldwide after winning the Eurovision song Festival in 1974 with their first international hit "Waterloo". Agnetha was also married to Björn and Benny with Anni-Frid, the combination of their initials inspired the group's name. Hope that answer your questions for basic info about these legends :)

I am a Combat Marine of 5 tours, played college ball at UNC, starting quarterback, and fought pro until I took an injury. So you can see I live in a pretty TOUGH world from Jersey City, NJ, and yes I'm black. But I'M THE BIGGEST FAN OF ABBA. I ADMIT IT HERE. I PLAY THEM IN MY CAR EVERY SINGLE DAY. Yes, I would lose my black card if my friends knew. But I'm too old to care now. Thank you for posting this and making me smile as I sit here in my VA hospital bed. God bless all of you.

I cannot listen to "Dancing Queen" without getting emotional because as a young girl of twelve, I wanted nothing more than to be THAT GIRL. Now, as a woman of a certain age, I long to go back to my youth. I adore "Dancing Queen" and I love, love, LOVE ABBA!

ABBA are a phenomenon. They are up there with the wheel and sliced bread.

Don’t get it twisted. ABBA weren’t just a simple, fun pop band. They’re true geniuses. Masters of melody and groove like you would’ve believe. The ability to craft perfect pop tunes is as impressive and admirable as any high concept art rock bullshit. They have DOZENS of songs in their catalog that’ll make your head explode. Absolute god level.. You should react to Gimme Gimme Gimme! & Lay All Your Love On Me

Fun fact. ABBA was offered $1 Billion for a reunion tour, they said "No thanks". I think that's called being satisfied with what you did yesterday, being happy with where your at today and looking forward to doing new things tomorrow.

the only band that metalheads will admit to listening tooo

Every male in the 70s had their eyes on these two

If anybody didn't say so already, at one point they were Sweden's biggest export, outselling Saab--cars, fighter planes, etc.

According to a documantary I watched, ABBA created videos for their songs to keep their music in front of their audiences while they were not touring because they had small children. They were the first group to really make videos... Long before MTV ever existed!

This brotha actually loves all kind of music, it a beautiful thing man. Keep up the good work!

There was a reason the world was happier in the 70s, music like this was part of it. That and everyone still danced.

You may laugh but my little girl found my mother’s ABBA records and fell in love. I think I prefer it to today.

You literally would have to have to be dead inside to not get up and dance and singalong And literally have the time of your life. PURE JOY

The history of ABBA can be researched on the Internet. ABBA was and is a guarantee for music that puts you in a good mood. In the ABBA film: "THE FILM", which was shot by ABBA during the Australian tour, a young woman said: "When I hear something from ABBA, I feel like I have to get up to dance." Yes, that statement is spot on. ABBA was and is a group that brought much, much happiness into our world.

Jamal got his Swedish groove on, he's in the mood for dance!!

1 am at every bar, And everyone knows the words, They’re Swedish

ABBA were perfectionist's..!! Especially Benny.... I read where it took them almost a year to put this song together before he was happy with the arrangement prior to its release.....

My favourite ABBA song ever : "Knowing me, knowing you"

They have sold 380 million albums worldwide.

If this song doesn’t make you dance in some way, there’s something wrong with you. The music is so intricate, as always. They were perfect.

What's amazing is that when they started they didn't speak English -- they just memorized the words/sounds..

Arguably the greatest pop song ever. Period. Play this at any wedding or party , jukebox in a bar across the globe and people will begin to dance and sing.

Fernando is my favourite ABBA song. Perfection.

Good band, pretty much universally liked. Excellent musicians and writers who truly understood the art of audio recording - and don't forget, there was no auto tune in those days !

They don't just sing all these songs. Björn and Benny wrote every single one of them. They are definitely one of the greatest bands of all time.

One of the most ICONIC songs of alltime....still gets people dancing. They are from The Kingdom of Sweden

OMG ❤️ I have 47 years and it reminds me when I was child in France it was a big success

Love ABBA, this makes me want to get up and dance! 2 married couples from Stockholm Sweden early 70s. The name ABBA is an acronym for the first names of the 4 group members. They were HUGE in the 70s! Of course the group's music was reborn in the recent Mama Mia movies with Meryl Streep and Cher, who were of this generation, just like moi!

They kept it simple, but damn catchy. That chord progression is kinda genius.

This brotha is 59 and loves all kinds of music. This is simply one of the best pop songs ever. Sheer perfection in the songwriting, production and vocals. Euphoria, joy, nostalgia and beauty so sheer there is a tinge of sadness there too. Everything all at once

"Knowing me Knowing you" is their best song for me

Abba, is AMAZING!!! I'm so thrilled to see how many are reaction to Abba songs. I love the fact that my childhood was in the 70's and my teen years were in the 80's!!! Great time!

This is what is considered the ultimate wedding reception dance song...stirring, powerful, amazing.

The most talented pure pop group that has ever existed.

I would give this week's paycheck to watch Jamel sing and dance to this song. It's all he can do not to break out in a performance now😂😂

Oh I was about 6-7 when this came out. I would dance around with my flowing scarves and sequin halter top😂 I really thought I was the dancing queen lol. Still have the 45 record.

Agnatha, Bjorn, Benny and Frida aka ABBA aren’t just a band singing they’re also a band who has songs that talks about emotions and some that talk about deep emotions. The band is freaking amazing

As a Classic Rock kid in the '70s I never really cared much for Disco, but I sure did have a crush on Agnetha. Now that I'm old, I dig ABBA.

We need more Classic ABBA on this Channel.

their songs are time capsules for me . they take me to my time in the Army late 1970's . instantly put you in a good mood. 40 years in he blink of an eye.

God, hearing ABBA reminds me of my childhood. My dad was and still is obsessed with them, so I learned to love them as I grew up. ABBA is simply a band you put on when you feel down and it makes you happy. I can't help but have a big smile on my face when I listen to them.

I was a teenager in the 70s and loved ABBA. But there's no way I would have admitted that in public.

As much as I like this song, my fave has always been "Take A Chance On Me" because of its underlying vocals and how it's maintained throughout the entire song. It's worth checking out and reacting to.

ABBA is awesome... You'll love them. They sing like angels!!!!

My favorite Abba song is "Thank you for the Music". It was their first song that I learned the whole lyrics to by listening then stopping, writing down on paper, then rewinding, then listening again and again on the cassette tape player when I was 8.

A EUROPEAN GROUP THAT HAS WORLWIDE HITS! I THINK THAT ITS AWESOME!!

See MURIEL’S WEDDING, a great movie that uses ALL ABBA music throughout the film. Brilliant!

This took me straight back to 1977 when I was 19. Damn those were fine times. 👀🤘👏

ABBA (acronym) has 4 members, Agnetha (blonde), Anni-Frid aka Frida (Brunette), Benny (Piano) and Björn (Guitar), they're from Sweden and became famous worldwide after winning the Eurovision song Festival in 1974

46 years old song...still amazing.

Pete Townshend from the WHO said “SOS” was the greatest pop song every written.

Being Swedish their first record was recorded not knowing English. They learned the songs phonetically

I was 9 years old when I first saw (and heard!) ABBA, winning the Eurovision Song Contest in 1974. I was hooked immediately. So outstanding! Their entire back catalogue is full of musical genius. They didn't just write songs - they crafted timeless musical masterpieces. And they looked good, too!

Listen, you cannot help but feel good when you listen to disco and to anybody out there who does not like disco you’re dead inside! This is a bad ass song.

Welcome to the good old days, when a singer could actually sing^^.

8 year old me, twirling around in living room trying to be a dancing queen. Thought it was the most wonderful thing I'd ever heard. 😊

Abba is a Swedish music group.formed in Stockholm in 1972 , Agnatha Falkskog, Benny Anderson,Bjorn Ulvaeus, Anni Friday lyngstad.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

The band name are the first initials of their names. They're from Sweden. They were 2 married couples. They sung in many languages, which made them beloved worldwide. In 1976, this single was #1 on Billboard like forever.

There voices give me chills

I'm always delighted when someone discovers Abba for the first time. "Dancing Queen" was certainly their biggest hit in America, and it shows off the amazing vocal range of Agnetha and Frida. But there are so, so many other great songs from this iconic band. Looking forward to watching you check them out. Some suggestions: "Fernando," "The Winner Takes It All," and "The Name of the Game."

They were an amazing band ... love their music... Another great band I grew up listening to... way back when.

A while after Waterloo, I remember ABBA appearing on Top of The Pops in the UK with Mamma Mia. My whole family watched it and we looked at each other afterwards and said "that'll be number one," I think it was on the tails of Bohemian Rhapsody. It's hard to believe that this song is now 44 years old, it *still* sounds fresh! When Dancing Queen came out, I was obsessed with it and played it over and over on juke boxes trying to work out the parts, especially, being a piano player, that wonderful piano part. I used to play Dancing Queen, in a covers band and occasionally we'd have guest bass players at gigs and none of them liked playing Dancing Queen, its chord progressions are *way* more sophisticated than your average pop song. I *loathe* ABBA tribute bands, they *never* even get close. Thing with ABBA is, they were the *real* deal. Slick, sophisticated, beautifully crafted songs and by the time they split, they were writing some really adventurous stuff, The Visitors Album, in particular was a masterpiece. But, then, they weren't just a "singles band." All of the albums including and following Arrival are quality albums and like The Beatles and Stones before them, people know not just the singles, but many of the great album tracks... Buy the albums, you won't be disappointed! 😉👍

I love ABBA! Would love it if you would react to "Does Your Mother Know" and "When I Kissed The Teacher", both by ABBA 💙

We love to dance, ABBA has a place in the most Mexican hearts, our parents talks and listen until today these great melodies, regards from Mexico.

Ooooh yeah Dancing Queen!! This was the song that made me stop pretending I didn't like ABBA 😂 this song is still as cool to me now as it was when I first heard it in 1976 such a cool vibe to this song

The one with black hair looks like a spy, like a female assassin from the Bond era. Gorgeous!

What a nice guy he is! I'm glad he found something he liked. Not surprised, mind. It was ABBA with the best pop song ever!

ABBA was huge! I loved almost every single one of their songs. One of my favorite movies, Muriel's Wedding, features lots of ABBA music.

Benny, playing piano, is the main melody writer. Bjorn, playing guitar is the main lyric writer. Both produce and arrange the songs. In the earlier years Stig, their manager, also wrote lyrics. Agnetha, soprano and Anni-Frid (Frida) mezzo soprano are the vocalists. Their combined voices make a "third voice". ABBA is only 2nd in sales to the Beatles with over 400 million sold. They had 17 number 1 hits. ABBA, Agnetha, Bjorn, Benny, Anni-Frid (Frida) is the acronym for ABBA. You should read about them. They are one of a kind.

Their music was themselves. One only has to listen to their songs after their respective marriages broke up...they stayed together as a group and brought those feelings into their music. Songs like Knowing Me, Knowing You, The Name of the Game, to name a couple are really deep. The Winner takes it All culminates this as their most powerful song. Get past the poppiness of the songs and really dig into the lyrics, the story unfolds there.

Looks like there's an ABBA revival going on among youtube reactors, and I love it :) Continue your ABBA journey, they have an enormous amount of fantastic songs.

Man after my heart!!! I absolutely loooove ABBA!! And this song reminds me of my best friend Toby and I singing it in my car everywhere we went💕💕💕

Dancing Queen will transend all of time and will never old. No doubt the greatist pop song ever.

Michael Jordan used to say he was plaing Dancing Queen 4 times before stepping on the court and that song was what help him become the player number one

There’s a school of thought that holds that ABBA’s “Dancing Queen” is, indeed, the saddest (pop) song ever written. She’s 17, and at the pinnacle of her life.... It’s the song’s feel good vibe that obscures the tragedy.

You should listen to ABBA's last, most polished and mature album, 'The Visitors'. In particular, the song, "Like An Angel Passing Through My Room". Gorgeous.

ABBA consisted of 2 gals and 2 guys. Formed in 1972 in Sweden. The first letter of each band member forms the band's name - ABBA. Popular throughout 70's and 80's. One of the most successful bands of all time

ABBA made videos before almost anybody. I know the Beatles made some, but ABBA did every song MTV style about 7 years early.

look into how they recorded and how the performed mind blowing they doubled every instrument in the studio and live before protools and todays technology, truly amazing, from sweden

Every album every song is a hit these guys couldn't make a bad song.

I was starting high school and taking driver's education when this song came out. I was 15 and I believe it was 1976. That was a magical time. Abba made that time magical.

Saw them in concert, Chicago 1979. They toured the US once, played Chicago once, I was 17, had 20th row center!!!

I never get tired of this song❤️. Brings back great memories ! Great group!

ABBA started in 1972- 1982 with 8 albums in their category. Love this group.

Abba is probably the best group of all time. I'm 49 and both my daughters are huge fans.

ABBA are the single-most successful pop music group in history. By any measure.

This song single handedly launched the disco movement. I was 8 when I first heard it on radio & nothing else sounded like it. Australia found this Swedish group on their radio & kept inviting them for concerts & then the rest of Western Civilization saw what was happening in Australia & then ABBA became worldwide & broke Beatles records right & left & were a major force until 1981 when the women left the men & broke up the group. The men went on to write music for other musicians but ABBA was no more after 7 years in 1981, but their music has lived past them. You should check out Information Society's cover from 1989 of ABBA's "Over The Sea^ as well as "Take A Chance" & "The Winner Takes It All" by ABBA & "Thak You For The Music" and you'll never be disappointed with any song you review from their Greatest Hits Volume I or Two!

Jamel..... Mate.... TALK ABOUT “NOSTALGIA” ✋️🤪🤚 I can remember ABBA from my childhood as I had a HUGE crush on Agnetha (the blonde) & even now, at the age of 51, my partner & I are always headed straight to the dance floor whenever most of their songs come on & are played 🙏😎 Their music is timeless as they had SO many hits over the years ☝️😄 The Swedish people “did alright” in a big way bringing this sensational quartet to the world ❤️🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪❤️

Just luvv this group even though I was born in the Disco era when ABBA was recording their treasure trove of songs, even though I'm a metal and blues kind of guy. Love how the musicians here were able to lay down accompaniment tracks that so compliment the singer's vocals. Fantastic harmonies and counterpoint. And just looking at how the singers just exude this beauty and natural rapport with everything around them can really caress one's soul, sounds melodramatic and maybe over the top but that's my experience of it for whatever it's worth.

Good to see more of ABBA. In another video Agnetha, the blonde one, said she got goosebumps making and hearing this recording. A good sign for her and us.

The only music my mom liked that I liked. To this day it still makes me smile to hear ABBA :)

4 in a group married to each other from Sweden.They had many hits.The 70’s were great.

I think it's 4 members of Abba and they're from Sweden 🇸🇪 🤔 I really enjoy watching your reaction videos of all this great music 🎶 🎵 😀 ❤️ Music City Tennessee 2022

Abba is from Sweden! and i love them❤

i LOVE your reaction :-)) ABBA has been a part of my life since i was a kid. So many great songs. Greetings from germany.

One of the best bands of all time! This was my song for my girlfriend when I was seventeen! She moved on, but the song has stayed a favourite of mine!

Abba is from Sweden and there are 4 in the group. Two married couples- Probably the biggest band in the 70"S and earlier 80's. They are awesome. !!
