Frida, whose full name is
Anni-Frid Lyngstad Fredriksson Andersson, was a Scandinavian solo singer in the 1960s and 1970s before she joined a group being put together by her boyfriend (and later husband),
Benny Andersson,
ABBA.
ABBA was a massive international success especially during the second half of the '70s; the group disbanded at the start of the '80s, and
Frida, who divorced
Andersson, returned to solo work with the
Phil Collins-produced
Something's Going On in 1982. Among her other releases were 1984's
Shine and 1996's
Djupa Andetag.
