Abba's members have cited many musical inspirations but most the significant is likely The Beatles. Bjorn Ulvaeus has said it was because of Lennon and McCartney that he and Benny Andersson started writing together. Both Bjorn and Benny were touring with their own bands in 1963 when the Beatles first performed in Sweden. But Carl Magnus Palm, in his exhaustive biography of Abba, cites many other musical inspirations as well including the European folk and schalger traditions, as well as American folk and rock, including the Kingston Trio and The Beach Boys. Agnetha Faltskog, who was one of the top female solo acts in Sweden before Abba, cited Connie Francis, Aretha Franklin and other American female vocalists as her inspirations. And Abba's studio sound was heavily influenced by Phil Spector and his "wall of sound" production techniques.
Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus met during the late 1960's. By 1972 the group had become a foursome. Bjorn was married to blonde Agnetha Faltskog and Benny was married to Anni-Frid Lyngstad, the brunette.
The major portion of the song writing was done by Bjorn and Benny, with collaboration with lyrics by Stig Anderson, the group's manager and producer. The men were influenced by artists from the 1960's, and of course many of their songs reflected what was going on in their own lives or past experiences they had. Example: Bjorn wrote Our Last Summer which was inspired by a romance he had when he was young.
ABBA became famous in 1974 after they won the Eurovison song contest with the song Waterloo.
