Anni-Frid Lyngstad-"En ledig dag (Weekend in Portofino)"

Pre-ABBA Frida from 1967, with English subcaptions added.

The following was taken from Wikipedia:
"In the summer of 1967, Lyngstad won a national talent competition with the song "En Ledig Dag" ("A Free Day" or "A Day Off"). Unbeknownst to Frida, the winner of the contest was also expected to appear the same evening in one of the country's most popular TV shows at that time, Hylands Hörna (Hyland's Corner; Lennart Hyland being the host of the show). This programme was broadcast for two hours, on the very same day that Sweden changed from driving on the left-hand side of the road to the right. For this occasion the show was re-named Hylands Högerhörna (Hyland's Right Corner)."

So nice to hear her voice without other singers or heavy production. Makes you really appreciate what a terrific singer she is. So clear and beautiful.

[dadtoava]

She is truly Norway's gift to Sweden and the world!

[abbaMANQUEZ]

Frida showed amazing vocals here. Flawless. I know she can go lower than E3. Not just sure about her lowest note, this video is about E6/F6. Certainly has more than 3 octave range.

wow, someone pass me a dictionary because i cant find the words to describe how gorgeous frida is in this clip.

didnt understand a single word but that was utterly enchanting.

pity the interviewer thinks he`s david frost interviewing richard nixon

[masteroftheeouse]

Wow this video explains alot. Already a mom with two children before Abba and still a beauty with an incredibile voice. Fida certainly hits all the high notes here! This is a wonderful performance!

Anni-Frid you sing like a angel.

[fridnetha]

Your occupation?

-I'm married with two children.

How sweet she is, Ilove you FRIDA <3

[UglySean]

Has she always been a tasty goddess? My my my. Wow. Sexy in every language.

[moodytwoshoes]

Why does he taunt her about having kids and therefore not getting ahead?

[moodytwoshoes]

It all comes from being very lonely as a child and having a disturbed mother who died when she was only 2. She left her own children to fulfill her insatiable ambition to be a singer. .I don't say this out of spite...just to make people aware of what causes Narcissistic Personality Disorder. If you're going to have kids, make sure they're very secure & get plenty of love and attention in their early years. We love you Frida.
