Absolutely amazing!! Agnetha from ABBA and Chris Norman, Alan Silson and Terry Uttley from SMOKIE on one stage, hard to believe...! When my friend told me so a quarter of century ago, I didnt believe him...
Thanks a lot for this video John! I love it, Agnetha is really a beautiful lady and I really like her voice in this song (like in every of her song) :P I love how she sing trrrrrropical summer...
i can confirm there was no strike when this was releasedin the UK in 1983 , there was a water strike but it had nothing to do with vinyl (which is what records were made of then) that was in the early 1970s in Britain when there was a shortage of everything, far more likely it was fashion and taste, although i have to say this record was much better than half the rubbish clogging up the UK chart then, i know frida had some success stateside post abba, did agnetha? i know pete cetera was involved
Agnetha made her album "I Stand Alone" with Peter Cetera in the States in 1987. it had limited success there, but is in fact very good - see my video "If You Need Somebody Tonight". Yes this song here was far better than the stuff in the UK charts!
the only member of ABBA to record a complete album in the states although ABBA recorded the single Voulez-Vous in Miami while vacationing in the Bahama's in early 1979.
Agnetha was searingly hot, and she knew it - there's no doubt. I'm not sure that she disliked all the attention her looks gave her during the Abba days, but there's no doubt she was revelling in it by this time. Just look at the promotional pictures (wearing a towel etc.). Love the close ups here (freeze the frame at 1.49 !!) She was a GODDESS!!
This was not a big hit in the UK because of a dispute or strike with distrubution.Abba have always had a big following in the UK,their popularity dipped everywhere just after they split up,not just the UK.
i remember this.....it didnt do anything in the UK, did it? I remember they both had releases at the same time but only had 1 minor solo hit each in UK ( ?). I also remember to be a fan of ABBA in 1982 in UK was considered naff ! (how wrong they were!)
Wow, awesome song!!! Ain't nothing Aggie can't do! Like this song alot, got a bit of a reggae beat,just what ya need to get rid of the frost John, relax in sunny Jamaica with sweet Aggie by your side!!! 5*, thanx again my friend!
Morning Jose, just got up we've got a nice warm day. Good old Agnetha! The range of her singing skills throughout her career is incredible, she can adapt to anything perfectly. Calypso holiday mood to this song as you say Jose, she takes it in her stride.
Her magic is working Shay, the frost has gone tonight. I love her 80's performances, she's super confident after the Abba years. Yes she's the star of this show, so this is a fitting entrance for her, nice to see she's wrapped up warm.
Glad to be of service Fiona. Agnetha has changed her presentation for her solo relaunch to get away from the Abba outfits, so now her natural beauty is more apparent. Yes this is a very nice calypso style song.
Thanks Matilda, yes this is the perfect song to relaunch her solo career. Agnetha's in charge now, so she can choose her own outfits and gives a great confident performance. Its clear she's still got her natural good looks.
You're right Bill, happy because she's back singing to an audience again after Abba, and more beautiful because she can choose her own outfits and styles now.
A Volvo 760 GLE, only joking, Agnetha Fältskog is the best pop singer from Sweden ever to date!
