Editing Anni-Frid Lyngstad (section)

==Career==
===1958–1969: Early work===
Lyngstad stated in several interviews that her grandmother frequently sang songs to her (such as old Norwegian songs), which resulted in her love for music. She showed musical talent at a very early age from her earliest school years. On Fridays, she was often asked by her teacher to sing in front of the class and soon became known in school and in the neighbourhood for her beautiful voice. Although her grandmother encouraged her to sing (according to Lyngstad herself), she never attended any of her performances. Her grandmother died shortly before ABBA formed, so she never witnessed the success of the group.

At the age of 13, Lyngstad gained her first job as a [[Dansband|dance band]] and [[schlager]] singer in 1958, with the Evald Ek's Orchestra. Evald Ek himself remembers: "It was hard to believe, such a young person could sing that well. She was so easy to rehearse with and she was never shy onstage. The only thing I taught her was to sing out. In those days, she had a tendency of holding back her voice a little." With the Evald Eks Orchestra, the 13-year-old Lyngstad, performed every weekend in front of a dancing audience. The sets often lasted up to five hours. The songs she liked most to sing were standards such as "[[All of Me (Ruth Etting song)|All of Me]]", "[[Night and Day (song)|Night and Day]]" and "[[Begin the Beguine]]".<ref>[[Palm, Carl Magnus]] ''ABBA THE STORY'' (Swedish Edition), pp. 73–74.</ref> To advance and develop, she also started to take singing lessons with opera tenor Folke Andersson. Later, she teamed up with the 15-piece Bengt Sandlunds Bigband, who performed a jazz repertoire covering [[Glenn Miller]], [[Duke Ellington]] and [[Count Basie]], her vocal idols being [[Ella Fitzgerald]] and [[Peggy Lee]]. In 1963, she was the vocalist with the Gunnar Sandevarn Trio before forming her own band, the Anni-Frid Four. These groups all contained her husband, Ragnar Fredriksson.

On 3 September 1967, Lyngstad won the Swedish national talent competition "New Faces", arranged by record company [[EMI|EMI Svenska]], and held at [[Skansen]], Stockholm. The song she chose to sing was "''[[En ledig dag]]''" ("A Day Off"; original title "Week-End in Portofino"). The first prize in this contest was a recording contract with EMI's Swedish subsidiary. Unbeknownst to Lyngstad, the winner of the contest was also expected to appear the same evening in the country's most popular TV show at that time, ''Hylands Hörna''. This happened on the same day [[Dagen H|Sweden switched]] from driving on the left-hand side of the road to the right-hand side. Driving on that day was discouraged, so most of the nation was watching TV that night. Lyngstad performed her winning song live. The performance can be seen on ''[[Frida – The DVD]]''.

This first exposure to a wider television audience caused a sensation, and many record companies and producers contacted Frida immediately. EMI executives, fearing they might lose their new singer, took the precaution of driving from Stockholm to Lyngstad's home in Eskilstuna the next morning with a recording contract for her to sign. EMI producer Olle Bergman remembers: "We got so interested and fond of her and I thought she had everything a person needs to become something."<ref>Inner sleeve of EMI compilation album Frida 1967–1972.</ref>

On 11 September 1967, Lyngstad recorded the vocals for "''[[En ledig dag]]''", which was to become her first single for EMI, under the company's British [[His Master's Voice (British record label)|His Master's Voice]] label. Professional and self-assured on this first day in the studio, she recorded the vocals in just one take.<ref>Inner sleeve of EMI compilation album ''Frida 1967–1972''</ref> The early songs she recorded for EMI are included in the compilation album ''[[Frida 1967–1972]]'', released by EMI Sweden in 1997.

On 29 January 1968, she performed this song on ''Studio 8'' on national television and on this occasion briefly met future ABBA member [[Agnetha Fältskog]], who also performed her first single on the same SVT1 programme. Lyngstad toured Sweden with Lasse Lönndahl and Bengt Hallberg in 1968, and recorded several singles for EMI. At the same time, she decided to leave her family and move to [[Stockholm]] to start working full-time as a singer.

In 1969, she participated in [[Melodifestivalen]], the Swedish heats for the [[Eurovision Song Contest]], with the song "''[[Härlig Är Vår Jord|Härlig är vår jord]]''" ("Our Earth Is Wonderful"), and finished in fourth place. Backstage she met her future second husband and ABBA bandmate Benny Andersson.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.europopmusic.eu/Scandanavia_pages/Frida.html|title=Anni-Frid Lyngstad (Frida) – Europopmusic|website=europopmusic.eu|access-date=5 March 2018}}</ref>

===1970–1971: Pre-ABBA===
Her first album, ''[[Frida (album)|Frida]]'', produced by her then-fiancé [[Benny Andersson]], was released in 1971 by EMI Columbia. The album received generous praise from critics and the press, who especially commented on the precision and versatility of Lyngstad's voice. A reviewer for the Swedish newspaper ''[[Dagens Nyheter]]'' wrote: "Professional, sure and certain LP-debut&nbsp;... low-key but self-assured personality with sprinkles of temperament, humor and tenderness. And she sings in such a way that you understand that she's got something between her ears – she sings, in other words, in a very intelligent way." That same year, she released her single "''Min egen stad''" ("My Own Town"), a cover version of Andersson's song "It's Nice To Be Back" with lyrics by Peter Himmelstrand;<ref name="palmliner">{{cite web|url=http://www.carlmagnuspalm.com/abba/solo-projects/frida-1967-1972/english-translation-of-liner-notes|title=Frida 1967 – 1972 Liner Notes, English translation|publisher=Carl Magnus Palm|access-date=27 March 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190327233347/http://www.carlmagnuspalm.com/abba/solo-projects/frida-1967-1972/english-translation-of-liner-notes|archive-date=27 March 2019|url-status=dead}}</ref> the single reached No. 1 in Svensktoppen.<ref name="sverigetopradio"/> All four future members of ABBA sang back-up vocals on this song. The success of the single led EMI Columbia to re-issue the ''Frida'' album with "''Min egen stad''" added to the beginning of side two of the LP.  The entire album was included in the EMI Sweden compilation ''[[Frida 1967–1972]]''.
{{listen|filename=Anni-Frid_Lyngstad_-_Min_Egen_Stad.ogg|title="Min egen stad"|description= "''Min egen stad''" was Lyngstad's first No. 1 hit for Svensktoppen on 24 October 1971.<ref name="sverigetopradio">{{cite web|url=http://sverigesradio.se/Diverse/AppData/Isidor/files/2023/3469.txt|title=Svensktoppen: 1971|publisher=Sveriges Radio|access-date=24 November 2016}}</ref>}}
Frida continued to play in cabarets, and tour and regularly perform on TV and radio. Subsequently, her relationship with Andersson, and friendship with [[Björn Ulvaeus]] and [[Agnetha Fältskog]] led to the formation of ABBA. In 1972, after five years with EMI Sweden, Lyngstad changed record companies and moved to the [[Polar Music]] label. She recorded the single "''[[Chi salta il fosso|Man vill ju leva lite dessemellan]]''" ("One wants to live a little from time to time"), which became her second No. 1 hit in the Swedish charts.

===1972–1981: ABBA and ''Frida ensam''===

[[File:Anni-Frid Lyngstad and Agnetha Fältskog at The Eddy Go Round Show 1974.png|thumb|right|Lyngstad (left) and Fältskog in 1974]]
At first, Lyngstad was hesitant to perform with her boyfriend Benny Andersson, his best friend Björn Ulvaeus and his wife, [[Agnetha Fältskog]].<ref>Frida in Swedish radio interview, 1980.</ref> Their first project together in the winter of 1970–1971 was the cabaret act Festfolket, which was not a success. The following year, Lyngstad toured with Lasse Berghagen, while the other three future ABBA members started performing together on a regular basis.<ref>ABBA fan magazine, 1979.</ref> Eventually, she rejoined the ensemble. Andersson and Ulvaeus were busy producing other artists, but soon discovered the qualities of Lyngstad's and Fältskog's voices combined; thus, the band was formed initially as Björn & Benny, Agnetha & Anni-Frid, later renamed ABBA.

Possessing a wide mezzo-soprano vocal range, that covers C#3 to Eb6,<ref>{{cite web |url=https://therangeplanet.proboards.com/thread/2477/anni-frid-lyngstad |title=Anni-Frid Lyngstad &#124; the Range Planet}}</ref> Lyngstad sang solo parts in the following ABBA songs: "[[Andante, Andante]]", "Bumblebee", "Cassandra", "[[Fernando (song)|Fernando]]", "[[ABBA: The Album|Get on the Carousel]]", "Gonna Sing You My Lovesong", "I Am the City", "[[I Have a Dream (song)|I Have a Dream]]", "[[I Let the Music Speak]]", "On Top of Old Smokey", "[[I Still Have Faith in You]]", "I Wonder (Departure)", "[[The King Has Lost His Crown]]", "[[Knowing Me, Knowing You]]", "[[Like an Angel Passing Through My Room]]", "[[Lovers (Live a Little Longer)]]", "[[Me and Bobby and Bobby's Brother]]", "[[Me and I]]", "[[Money, Money, Money]]", "[[The Name of the Game (ABBA song)|The Name of the Game]]", "No Doubt About It", "[[One Man, One Woman]]", "[[Our Last Summer]]", "Put On Your White Sombrero", "[[Should I Laugh or Cry]]", "[[Super Trouper (song)|Super Trouper]]", "Tropical Loveland", "[[The Visitors (song)|The Visitors]]", "[[The Way Old Friends Do (ABBA song)|The Way Old Friends Do]]" and "[[When All Is Said and Done]]".

Lyngstad clearly enjoyed the spotlight more than the other three members of ABBA. She liked to tour and to meet audience members one-to-one.<ref>ABBA fan magazine 1975.</ref> She took an active part in co-designing the famed ABBA costumes for their tours and TV performances.<ref>ABBA fan magazine, 1976.</ref> After the members of ABBA went their separate ways, Lyngstad was the only one who openly regretted there had never been a reunion, until ABBA got back together in 2017.

Her next solo album, in Swedish, was ''[[Frida ensam]]'' ("Frida Alone"), released in 1975 during the ABBA years, and produced by Andersson. This album includes her successful Swedish version of "[[Fernando (song)|Fernando]]", which stayed at the No. 1 spot in the Svensktoppen radio charts for 9 weeks, but was never released as a single. The album was recorded between sessions of the ABBA albums ''[[Waterloo (album)|Waterloo]]'' and ''[[ABBA (album)|ABBA]]''. Because of the activities of the group, the album took 18 months to record. ''Frida ensam'' became an enormous commercial and critical success in Sweden, topping the Swedish album charts for six weeks and remaining in the charts for 38. The album was mostly a collection of covers of songs by artists such as the [[Beach Boys]] ([[Wouldn't It Be Nice|"''Skulle de' va' skönt''"]]), [[10cc]] ([[The Wall Street Shuffle|"''Guld och gröna ängar''"]]) and [[David Bowie]] ([[Life on Mars?|"''Liv på Mars?''"]]), receiving positive reviews from ''[[Melody Maker]]'': "The album portrays Frida as a very strong and emotive singer and shows the true value of the music, that if sung properly and with enough feeling it transcends all language barriers". This album eventually went platinum.

===1982–1984: International solo career===
[[File:Frida Lyngstad 1982b.jpg|thumb|upright|left|Lyngstad in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, October 1982]]
In 1982, during ABBA's last year as a working band, Frida recorded and released her first post-ABBA solo album. This was also her first solo album in English. The [[Phil Collins]]-produced album called ''[[Something's Going On]]'' became a big success for Frida worldwide. A much rockier sound was found on many of the songs and Phil Collins' drum sound had a major contribution, particularly on the lead single, "[[I Know There's Something Going On]]", which topped the charts in Belgium and Switzerland, and was a top 5 hit in Australia, Austria, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, South Africa and Sweden among others. With the song and video being heavily promoted and played on [[MTV]], the single also proved successful in the United States, reaching No. 13 on the [[Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100]] (and No. 9 on ''[[Radio & Records]]'') in March 1983, and was the 20th-biggest-selling single in the US that year. In the UK, the track was not a big hit, only reaching No. 43.

The album itself received good reviews, with ''[[Billboard magazine|Billboard]]'' writing: "ABBA's auburn-haired songstress makes a bold solo project a stunning success", while Mark Coleman described the album in the third edition of ''[[Rolling Stone Album Guide]]'' as "a sharp, rock-oriented, delightfully eclectic album". William Cooper had a similar opinion in [[AllMusic]]: "Frida escapes the creative limitations of being a member of one of the world's most popular groups on this solid and often riveting album". Swedish Television [[Sveriges Television|SVT]] documented this historical event by filming the whole recording process. The result became a one-hour TV documentary, including interviews with Frida and Phil, Björn and Benny, as well as all the musicians involved with the album. Owing to the success of the album (selling 1.5&nbsp;million copies worldwide),<ref name=r2/> and its lead single, Frida was voted "Best Female Artist Of The Year" 1982, by the readers of Sweden's biggest evening paper ''[[Aftonbladet]]'', receiving the Swedish Music Award Price [[Rockbjörnen]].

In 1983, Lyngstad assisted with ''[[Abbacadabra]]'', and recorded one of the tracks with two different male vocalists in different languages, including the French star [[Daniel Balavoine]] on the track "[[Arrival (composition)|Belle]]" and on the English version "[[Arrival (composition)|Time]]" with [[B.&nbsp;A. Robertson]] produced by [[Mike Batt]]. This track was a cover of "[[Arrival (song)|Arrival]]", an instrumental track from the ABBA album of the same name. She also jumps in and does the female recitation towards the end of the song "Strip" on the ''Strip'' album by [[Adam Ant]], who was recording his album at [[Polar Studios]] in Stockholm.

Lyngstad's next album was ''[[Shine (Frida album)|Shine]]'' (1984). This album was recorded at Studios De La Grande Armée in Paris and produced by [[Steve Lillywhite]]. Lillywhite was only 29 when this album was recorded; he gave Lyngstad a very experimental sound and managed to create a relaxed atmosphere in the studio. The album had much less success than hoped, though it reached the Top 20 in many European countries, No. 6 in Sweden being its highest position.

===1985–2004: Later career===
In 1987, Lyngstad was in the choir for the recording of her former husband Benny Andersson's song "''Klinga Mina Klockor''". Also in 1987, Lyngstad recorded the single "''[[Så länge vi har varann|Så Länge Vi Har Varann]]''" ("As Long As We Have Each Other") with the Swedish pop group Ratata, one of Lyngstad's favourites. She was contacted by singer [[Mauro Scocco]], who mentioned that he had a song suitable for a duet. After hearing it, Lyngstad accepted immediately.<ref>Lyngstad herself in ''Frida the DVD''</ref> The song achieved great success in Sweden, and was also recorded in English under the title of "[[Så länge vi har varann|As long as I have you]]". An English-language video of the song was produced, although an Australian release of this song on Festival Records in January 1998 was eventually shelved.

In 1990, Lyngstad became a member of the committee of the Swedish environmental organization ''Det Naturliga Steget'' ("The Natural Step"). The organization wanted a "famous face" to help them reach the public, and in 1991 she became chairwoman for the organization ''Artister För Miljö'' ("Artists for the Environment"). In 1992, Lyngstad founded her Children and Environment Foundation which runs summer camps for underprivileged children.<ref>{{cite web |title=Historik |url=http://barnochmiljo.se/historik.html |access-date=10 February 2021 |website=barnochmiljo.se}}</ref>  Also in 1992, Lyngstad performed live at the [[Stockholm]] Water Festival at the Kings Castle and released the environmental charity single with her cover of [[Julian Lennon]]'s song "Saltwater". All the royalties from this single went to charity. In 1993, on [[Queen Silvia]]'s 50th birthday, Frida was asked to perform "[[Dancing Queen]]" on stage, as performed by ABBA when the king and queen married in 1976. Frida contacted [[The Real Group]] and together they performed the song at the Stockholm Opera House in front of the king and queen. This performance was filmed by Swedish TV and can be seen in ''[[Frida: The DVD]]''.

In 1996, Lyngstad recorded her Swedish language album ''[[Djupa andetag]]'' ("Deep Breaths"). It was a long-awaited album as 12 years had passed since ''[[Shine (Frida album)|Shine]]'' was released. The album attracted overall relatively positive reviews and was a success in Sweden where it reached No. 1 on the album chart. Frida did many TV appearances in Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland to promote the album. ''Djupa andetag'' was one of the first Swedish albums to be released as a combined audio-video [[CD-ROM]], including interviews with Lyngstad, footage from the making of the album, as well as promotional videos. Despite the fact that ''Djupa andetag'' was officially only released in Scandinavia and the songs were entirely sung in Swedish, a remix album of the single tracks "''[[Även en blomma]]''", "''Alla Mina Bästa År''" (a duet with [[Roxette]]'s [[Marie Fredriksson]]) and "''[[Ögonen]]''" was released in Germany in 1998, entitled ''[[Frida – The Mixes]]''. Despite the success of the album, none of these singles made a big impression on the Swedish charts. A one-hour documentary about the making of this album, both in the studio and from Frida's home in Mallorca, Spain, can be seen in ''Frida: The DVD''. A follow-up album with producer [[Anders Glenmark]] was reportedly in the works, but was shelved because of the death of Frida's daughter in 1998. Lyngstad dedicated the song "Chemistry Tonight" (co-written by [[Kirsty MacColl]]) to the songwriter after MacColl's death in 2000.

A few low key and one-off recordings followed, including a 2002 duet with opera singer [[Filippa Giordano]] of the "[[Barcarolle]]" from [[Jacques Offenbach]]'s ''[[Les contes d'Hoffman]]'' as well as the song "The Sun Will Shine Again", written by former [[Deep Purple]] member [[Jon Lord]], and recorded in 2004. "Barcarolle" is only available on the Japanese edition of Giordano's album ''Rosso Amore'' and "The Sun Will Shine Again" can be found on Jon Lord's album ''Beyond The Notes'' (although a limited-promotional single had been made available). Lord and Lyngstad made several TV appearances in Germany performing the song, on shows like ''The Sunday Night Classics'' and ''The Golden Henne Gala''. Lyngstad also joined Lord on stage singing the song during his European autumn tour in 2004. During this tour, she also performed "In the Bleak Midwinter", a performance of which can be found on social media.

For the 2004 semi-final of the [[Eurovision Song Contest]], staged in Istanbul thirty years after ABBA had won the contest in Brighton, Lyngstad appeared in a special comedy video made for the interval act, entitled ''Our Last Video''. All four members of the group appeared briefly in cameo roles, as did the singer [[Cher]] and British comedian [[Rik Mayall]] among others. The video was not included in the official DVD release of the Eurovision Contest, but was issued as a separate DVD release on the Universal Music label. It was billed as the first time the four had worked together since the group split in 1982 although they each filmed their appearances separately. Also in 2004, Lyngstad appeared with former bandmates Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus in London at the fifth-anniversary performance of ''[[Mamma Mia! (musical)|Mamma Mia!]]'', the musical based on ABBA songs. In 2008, she joined all three of her former ABBA colleagues at the Swedish premiere of ''Mamma Mia!'' at the arena Cirkus in Stockholm.

===2005–present: Hiatus from music, selected public appearances and ABBA reunion===
[[File:Meryl Agnetha Frida 2008 Av Daniel Åhs (cropped).jpg|upright=1.2|right|thumb|[[Amanda Seyfried]], [[Meryl Streep]], [[Agnetha Fältskog]], Lyngstad (centre), [[Christine Baranski]] and [[Colin Firth]] in 2008]]
On 15 November 2005, to celebrate Lyngstad's 60th birthday, [[Universal Records]] released the box set ''[[Frida: 4×CD 1×DVD]]'', consisting of all the solo albums she recorded for [[Polar Music]] and Anderson Records, including a set of bonus tracks. Also included was ''[[Frida: The DVD]]'', a 3.5-hour documentary where Lyngstad talks about her entire career in the music business. Filmed in the Swiss Alps, she talks about her singing technique and about her career both before and after ABBA, and explains how songs were performed and recorded. In collaboration with Swedish TV, [[Sveriges Television|SVT]], the film included many clips from her early television performances, such as her first TV performance with "''En ledig dag''" ("A Day Off"). Also included are TV documentaries about the making and recordings of ''[[Something's Going On]]'' and ''[[Djupa andetag]]'' ("Deep Breaths").

In 2007, Lyngstad became one of the initial patrons of the Zermatt Unplugged Music Festival along with Jon Lord and Claude Nobs. 

In September 2010, a new album by musician [[Georg Wadenius]] titled ''Reconnection'' was released. Lyngstad and Wadenius had discussed working together for many years, as they had long been good friends. The album opens with her rendition of the traditional tune "[[Morning Has Broken]]", previously covered by [[Cat Stevens]]. This song is a favourite for Frida and the song was also on the playlist in the church for Frida and Prince Ruzzo's wedding on 26 August 1992.

On 16 February 2011, BBC Radio 4 broadcast a 45-minute play featuring Lyngstad and the play's writer, long-term fan and performer [[Christopher Green (writer-performer)|Christopher Green]]. The play, ''Like an Angel Passing Through My Room'', was billed as "a story about love. The unconditional love of a devoted fan&nbsp;... about a real and an imagined intimacy." It was a project several years in the making; what started as an upbeat reflection on fame and  being a fan developed into a meditation on the communication between two people and coping with the blows life deals. In an interview, she and Green talked about her long recovery following the death of her husband in 1999. The play is reflective but with a comic sensibility. Lyngstad stated in 2004 that she never intended to return to the music industry, although this was short-lived, and future studio albums were discussed in 2010.
[[File:Anni-Frid Lyngstad in May 2013.jpg|thumb|Lyngstad during the opening of ABBA The Museum on 6 May 2013]]
In 2013, she helped organise the opening of [[ABBA The Museum]] in Stockholm stating she wanted to "let ABBA rest". The long-awaited ABBA reunion was expected to happen in 2014 to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the group's win at the [[Eurovision Song Contest]]. However, this did not happen. In 2015, Lyngstad, along with Dan Daniell, released the single "1865" about the [[Matterhorn]] in Switzerland.

In the summer of 2017, Lyngstad joined her ABBA bandmates Agnetha Faltskög, Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson to record two new songs, "[[I Still Have Faith in You]]" and "[[Don't Shut Me Down]]". These songs were meant to be part of an ABBA-themed TV special that was eventually discarded and replaced by the more ambitious, digital-laden ''Voyage'' show. 

In 2018, Lyngstad and jazz trumpeter [[Arturo Sandoval]] released a duet of the ABBA song "[[Andante, Andante]]" as a single. The song is featured on Sandoval's album ''[[Ultimate Duets]]''.

On 2 September 2021, via YouTube livestream, ABBA announced their upcoming [[virtual concert|virtual]] [[concert residency]]  "[[ABBA Voyage]]", as well as the imminent release of an eponymous album, recorded between 2017 and 2021. The new record, their first studio album in 40 years, features ten tracks, including "I Still Have Faith In You" and "Don't Shut Me Down", which also were first shown in the aforementioned livestream event and released as a double A-side single. On 5 November 2021, the ''[[Voyage (ABBA album)|Voyage]]'' album was released worldwide. On 27 May 2022, ABBA Voyage opened in a purpose-built venue named the ABBA Arena at the [[Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park]] in London.
