SCHLAGER HERO 4 Agnetha Fältskog: ABBA

My My does'nt time fly ! its 35 years today 

6 th April 1974 that ABBA won Eurovision 

Contest 

1974 in Brighton. As a further tribute I have picked Agnetha

as the new Schlager Hero. Certainly in the 60's her early Swedish career (before Abba)

was very much an old-style Schlager Singer of that time. More than any other Abba 

member in 1968 she even submitted the own song "Försonade" for 

Melodifestivalen, however it was not selected for the final. The track became track 5 on

her debut album "Agnetha Faltskog" in Sweden. She then waited til 1981 to enter her songwriting talents again in Melodifestivalen

with a song called  Men Natten Är Vår" ("But The Night is Ours") This was a slow ballad with

lyrics by Ingela Forsman and was sung by Kicki Moberg.This was the first lyrics 

entered in Mf by Ingela Forsman, she went on to write many more

as well as   'Så vill stjärnorna' And 'Med hjärtat fyllt av ljus'

in 2009. Agnetha is a real schlager hero

indeed.

Here is Agnetha with her Mf entry 'FÖRSONADE' plus her 

1975 hit "Tack För En Underbar Vanlig Dag" with subtites. 

And above a recent birthday photo of her with Billy Paul

at his concert in Stockholm.
