My My does'nt time fly ! its 35 years today�
6 th April 1974 that ABBA won Eurovision�
Contest�
1974 in Brighton. As a further tribute I have picked Agnetha
as the new Schlager Hero. Certainly in the 60's her early Swedish career (before Abba)
was very much an old-style Schlager Singer of that time. More than any other Abba�
member in 1968 she even submitted the own song "F�rsonade" for�
Melodifestivalen, however it was not selected for the final. The track became track 5 on
her debut album "Agnetha Faltskog" in Sweden. She then waited til 1981 to enter her songwriting talents again in Melodifestivalen
with a song called �Men Natten �r V�r" ("But The Night is Ours") This was a slow ballad with
lyrics by Ingela Forsman and was sung by Kicki Moberg.This was the first lyrics�
entered in Mf by Ingela Forsman, she went on to write many more
as well as � 'S� vill stj�rnorna'�And 'Med hj�rtat fyllt av ljus'
in 2009. Agnetha is a real schlager hero
indeed.
Here is Agnetha with her Mf entry 'F�RSONADE'�plus her�
1975 hit "Tack F�r En Underbar Vanlig Dag" with subtites.�
And above a recent birthday photo of her with Billy Paul
at his concert in Stockholm.
