Both AnnifridLyngstad and Agneta Fältskog were wellknown singers.
ABBA's material was written by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus, and the special ABBA-sound, that was created through hard work in the studio (together with the musicteknikern Michael B Tretow), most of all displays the vocal mix between Agneta Fältskog and AnnifridLyngstad.
It has been said that much of the sound was the result of the work by music technician Michael B Tretow.

This is because she was the daughter of a German Soldier, which due to the occupation of Norway during World War II bought a lot of scorn upon Frida's mother, Synni Lyngstad.
People in her village would spit at her or shout abuse because of going out with a German soldier and having his child.
