Agnetha Faltskog

If you're an old goat like, me, and grew up in the 60's and 70's, you no doubt remember the international phenomenon known as ABBA.

The Swedish foursome sold untold millions of records, riding the disco wave while, curiously producing a style of music that was decidedly NOT disco.

If you were a teenaged male, what you most fondly remember about ABBA was the beautiful blonde singer. Well, she has a name, even though most of us couldn't pronounce it. It's Agnetha Faltskog (pronounced onyetta).

After ABBA's breakup, she recorded a couple of solo albums in the 80's, then withdrew from public life.

Well, she's back! She just released a new album in 2004 called My Colouring Book that scored very highly on international charts, even though it didn't do much in the US.

And, I am delighted to report that Agnetha, in her mid 50's, is still stunningly beautiful! Good for you, Agnetha. It's also great to see that she can still sell an album.

The site is well done in Flash. There are videos you can watch (though the RealAudio ones seem to be broken), wallpaper, an e-card, press releases, a bio, and links to buy her CD's. One of them lets you pay in American dollars, just keep trying the links.

So here's to Agnetha, who not only survived the 70's, but even managed to keep her looks!
