In 1971, two of Sweden’s most beloved musical talents came together for a memorable duet. Lars Berghagen, a popular singer-songwriter, joined forces with Anni-Frid Lyngstad, better known as Frida from ABBA, to record “En kväll om sommarn” (An Evening in Summer).
Long before ABBA became a global pop sensation, they started with a humble yet powerful message: “People Need Love.” Released in 1972, this was the group’s debut single under the name “Björn & Benny, Agnetha & Anni-Frid,” marking the beginning of their journey to worldwide fame.
Among ABBA collectors, „Sång till Görel“ is considered the holy grail. This extremely rare 12-inch single was produced exclusively for the 30th birthday of Görel Hanser, the personal assistant of ABBA’s manager Stig Anderson, in 1979.
In the vast discography of the legendary Swedish pop group ABBA, there’s a hidden gem that few fans have had the privilege to hear. „Hovas vittne“ is a unique and personal song that stands out not only for its rarity but also for the touching story behind its creation.
