本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛ABBA这个70年代最成功的合唱组来自瑞典。最早应回溯到1966年,当时键盘手兼歌手的Benny Anderson与吉他手兼歌手的Bjorn Ulvaeus组成一个合唱小组。他们开始为Polar Music/Union Songs作曲写歌。这家公司是个出版公司,老板是Stig Anderson,他本人是个多产的词作家,在50年代和60年代十分有名。与此同时,Anderson和Ulvaeus正与他们各自的女友为一些计划而忙碌着。Ulvaeus与歌手Agnetha Faltskog合作演唱了一首后来成为全瑞典冠军的歌曲I Was So In Love,而Anderson和Anni Frida Lyngstad 开始约会。Lyngstad是个爵士歌手,在全国都十分有名。后来,Anderson和Ulvaeus演唱了享誉国际的歌曲People Need Love,这首歌的背景声就是Faltskog和Lyngstad伴唱的。ABBA一词是Stig Anderson提出的,该词代表了4个人的姓名的第一个字母。一曲Waterloo一曲赢得欧洲电视台大赛的奖励。之后,他们演唱了S.O.S, 这支歌不仅在美国和英国等说英语的国家一炮打响,而且也在西班牙、德国等国赢得巨大成功,这是他们始料不及的。此外,他们还有Lay All Your Love On Me、The Winner Takes It All等等。这些歌有很多在80年代被引入我国,并被广为传唱。《五色谱》就是当时非常走红的磁带,里面的歌曲大部分都是ABBA乐队的歌曲,重新填上词,唱遍大江南北。然后又有Mamma Mia,Fernando和Dancing Queen。到了1976年,他们已经准备出精选集了。1977年,ABBA合唱组新作Knowing Me, Knowing You和The Name Of The Game占据了各大电台的音乐节目中。1978年,Anderson与Lyngstad结婚,而Ulvaeus和Faltskog早于1971年就结婚了,但几个月后,就又分开了。事实上,ABBA合唱组所演唱的下一专集Voulez Vous的歌曲主题中有很多都是描写爱情中的苦痛的。Super Trouper于1980年发行之后,Anderson与Lyngstad 也分道扬镳了。1982年,这个4人合唱组正式解散。
ABBA只正式推出过一部演唱会录像:1979年在温布利大球场的演唱会,但只有节选,从未发行过完整版本。
在影片《ABBA: The Movie》中也能见到许多演唱会场面。这是部有虚构情节的ABBA 1996年澳洲巡演记录片。
此外,ABBA还推出过一张Live专辑,不知道是在什么时候的演唱会上录的,但有一些相当后期的歌。
所有这些“现场”的东西,一直存在争议。因为他们在发行时对音频做了很多加工,不是真正的现场原声(歌声似乎是,但配器有加工)。
Thank You For The Music
I’m nothing special, in fact I’m a bit of a bore
If I tell a joke, you’ve probably heard it before
But I have a talent, a wonderful thing
cause everyone listens when I start to sing
I’m so grateful and proud
All I want is to sing it out loud
So I say
Thank you for the music, the songs I’m singing
Thanks for all the joy they’re bringing
Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without a song or a dance what are we?
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me
Mother says I was a dancer before I could walk
She says I began to sing long before I could talk
And I’ve often wondered, how did it all start?
Who found out that nothing can capture a heart
Like a melody can?
Well, whoever it was, I’m a fan
So I say
Thank you for the music, the songs I’m singing
Thanks for all the joy they’re bringing
Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without a song or a dance what are we?
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me
I’ve been so lucky, I am the girl with golden hair
I wanna sing it out to everybody
What a joy, what a life, what a chance!
So I say
Thank you for the music, the songs I’m singing
Thanks for all the joy they’re bringing
Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without a song or a dance what are we?
So I say thank you for the music
