All four principal members of ABBA were accomplished musicians before they came together. Bjorn Ulveaus was the vocalist for Sweden's top folk band and Benny Andersson the keyboard player for Sweden's most popular rock band when they met in 1966 and started writing together. In 1969 Bjorn met future wife Agnetha Faltskog, one of the top female acts in the country. The same year, Benny met his future wife, Anni-Frid Lyngstad, a jazz band singer. They started performing together in 1970 and released their first single and album in 1972. (They were billed at first as Bjorn & Benny, Agnetha & Anni-Frid before shortening their names to ABBA in the summer of 1972.)

∙ 12y agoIt all began in June 1966, when Bjorn Ulvaeus met Benny Anderson for the first time. Bjorn was a member of the Hootenanny Singers, a popular Folk Music group, while Benny was a member of the Hep Stars, Sweden's number one pop band at the time. They got together and started making music together and their first song "Isn't It Easy To Say" came out to give them popularity afterward.. So they decided to start writing songs together and hoped that they would get to world wide fame sooner or later, which they did. Partly because of their song "Dancing Queen" which is based on the queen at their time. Later they got two more people into their band and that is how they met. This is like an outline summary of how they met.

∙ 11y agoThe group ABBA consisted of two married couples, Bjorn Ulveaus/Agnetha Faltskog and Anni-Frid Lyndstag and Benny Andersson. Bjorn and Benny knew each other from the time they were in high school. They met the girls later and eventually they became a foursome. The rest is history.

∙ 11y agoI'm not sure what this question is asking, but the men of the group (Benny and Bjorn) met while they were in their teens. Agnetha met Bjorn and Frida met Benny later and started by singing backup for the guy's projects at Polor Music in Stockholm. The rest is history.

∙ 10y agoThe four members of ABBA were either solo or group musicians before ABBA was formed. The two men, Benny and Bjorn began collaborating on songwriting together. They then involved their sweethearts, Agnetha and Ani-Frid, deciding that the women's vocals added immensely to the sound of their songs. The rest, as they say, is history.
